The Ant

Tâ-Sîn. These are the Verses of the Qur’ân which is a manifest Book,

Return (Submission) and glad tidings for the believers,

who keep up the Prayer and give alms (Az-Zakât) and they firmly believe in the Hereafter (Last Day).

Surely, We have embellished the deeds of those who do not believe in the Last Day (in the day of the return of the spirit to Allah). So, that they wander in confusion.

They are those for whom there will be an worst torment, and they will be those who will undergo the greatest Loss in the Hereafter.

And most surely the Qur’ân is delivered to you from (the Secret Knowledge of) the presence of the All-Wise, All-Knowing.

Moses had said to his family: “Surely I have perceived a fire; I will bring to you from there some news, or I will bring to you a burning firebrand so that you may warm yourselves”.

So when he went to it, he was called: “Blessed is whoever is in (near) the fire and whoever is round about it! And Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

O Moses! Surely, I am Allah, the Majestic, All-Wise (the Owner of Wisdom and Judgment).

“And cast down your staff”! So (upon casting down his staff) when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he rushed to run without looking back. “O Moses! Fear not; surely the Messengers do not fear in My Presence,

except those who do evil. But whom ever converts his evil for good (gets his sins replaced with good after repenting before a Murshid), then surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (the One that acting with His Name Mercy).

And put your hand into your bosom and put it out immaculate white. This (miracle) is among the nine Signs to Pharaoh and his people. Surely they have become a ungodly people”.

When Our Verses (Signs, miracles) became visible to them, they said: “This is a manifest magic”.

And though they firmly knew, they denied them knowingly and arrogantly, harmed their souls. Then look, how the end of those spreading lawlessness was.

And I swear, We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they said: “All Praise be to Allah, Who has exalted us above many of His believing servants”.

And Solomon inherited David, and he said: “O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given of all things; most surely this is an evident superiority”.

And the armies of the jinn and the men and the birds were gathered for Solomon, and they were formed into orders.

When they came to the valley of the Ants, an ant said: “O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies may not crush you, unperceiving”.

So (Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech and said: “Make me successful in being grateful for Your Gifts which You have bestowed on me and on my parents and in doing righteous deeds (in doing the soul’s cleansing) that will please You. And enter me, by Your Mercy, amongst Your Righteous servants.

And he inspected the birds, then said: “How is it that I do not see the hoopoe or is it that he is of the disappeared ones?

I will most certainly torment him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a plain argument”.

A little later, he (the hoopoe) came and said: “I have learned about what you do not know. I brought you reliable news from Sheba (Saba).

Surely, I found a woman ruling over them and she has been given of all things and she has a mighty Heaven of Heavens.

I found her and her people prostrating themselves before the sun instead of Allah and Satan has made their deeds fair-seeming to them and thus turned them away from the Way (of Allah), therefore they are not on Return.

How then they not prostrate themselves before Allah, who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you make manifest?

There is no god but Allah, Who is the Lord of the Supreme Heaven of Heavens.”

(Solomon) said: “We will see whether you have told the truth or whether you are of the liars.

Take this my writing and throw it down onto them (hand it over to them), then turn away from them and see what (answer) they return”.

(The Queen of Sheba): “O chieftains! Surely an honorable (valuable) letter has been thrown (delivered) to me.

Surely it is from Solomon, and surely (starts) is in the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Exalt not yourselves against me and come to me to be submitted.

(The Queen of Sheba) said: “O chieftains! Give me advice respecting my affair. I never decide an affair until you bear witness (you are in my presence and give me advice)”.

They said: “We are powerful and possessors of great Prowess (great ability for war) and it is for you to command, so see what you will command”.

(The Queen of Sheba) said: “Surely the kings, when they enter a country, ruin (overthrow) it, and humiliate its elites. And thus they do.

And surely I am going to send messengers with a present to them, and shall wait to see what the messengers bring back”.

So when (the envoys with the present) came to Solomon, (Solomon) said: “What! Are you helping me with wealth? What Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are boasting due to your present.

Go back to them, so we shall most surely come to them with armies which they shall no power to oppose, and we shall most certainly expel them there from in abasement, and they will be humiliated”.

(Solomon) said: “O chieftains! Which of you will bring to me her throne before they come to me in submission?

Ifrît of the jinn said: “I will bring it to you before you rise up from your place. I am strongly certain for it ”.

The one who had the knowledge from the Book (Khidr) said: “I will bring it to you before you blink your eye”. Then when (Solomon) saw it set in his presence (before him), he said: “This is a mercy of my Lord that he may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful”. And whoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is Self- Sufficient (Rich, Free of all needs), Honoured (the Most Generous).

(Solomon) said: “Alter her throne that we may see whether she will have Return (will she wish to return the spirit to Allah) or will she not be from those who turned (from those who wished).

So when she came in, it was said (to her): “Was your throne like this”? She said: “It is as though it was it”. And (Solomon said) “We were given the knowledge before it and we became Muslims (submitted to Allah)”.

And what she worshipped besides Allah prevented her; surely she was of a disbelieving people.

It was said to her: “Enter the palace.” When she saw it, she deemed it to be a deep water, and bared her legs (tucked up her skirts). (Solomon) said: “It is a palace, made of polished crystal”. (The Queen of Sheba) said: “My Lord! Verily I have wronged my soul and (now) I submitted to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds along with Solomon”.

And I swear, We sent to Thamud nation their brother Salih, to become servants to Allah. But they became two parties quarreling with each other.

(Salih) said: “O my people! Why do you to hasten on the evil before the good? Should you not have asked forgiveness (to replace your sins with good) of Allah so that you may receive mercy”?

They said: “You and those with you brought misfortune to us”. He said: “Your misfortune is with Allah. Nay, you are a people that are into lawlessness”.

And there were in the city a group of nine men, who spread lawlessness in the land, and did not improve.

They said by swearing by Allah: “We should certainly make a sudden attack on him and his household by night (kill them), then say to his friends that we did not witness the destruction of his household, and we are most surely truthful (the ones who tell the truth).

And they set a trap, and We set a trap for them, but they did not realize (it).

See, then, how was the end of their trap that We destroyed them and all their people.

Here are their dwellings fallen down because of their wrong doing! Most surely there is a Sign (proof) in this for a people who know.

And We saved those who believed (who became âmenû, who wished to reach spirit to Allah before death) and (for this reason) became the owners of takwa (spiritual armor).

And Lot had said to his people: “Do you come to indecency (evil) while you see it?

Do you indeed come to men lustfully rather than women? Nay, you are a people who are ignorant”.

But the answer of his people was no other except that they said: “Expel the family of Lot from your land surely they are a people who would like to remain pure and clean”.

Then We rescued him and his family except his wife. We destined her to be of those who remained behind.

And We rained on them a rain, and evil was the rain of those who had been warned.

Say: “All Praises be to Allah and peace is upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allah better or what they associate (with Him)?

or the One Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down for you water from the sky? So, with that We caused to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight. It is not even possible for you that you make the trees thereof to grow. Another god with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Allah)!

Or the One Who made the earth as a fixed abode and placed rivers in its midst, and raised on it mountains, and placed between the two seas a curtain? Another god with Allah? Nay! Most of them do not know!

Or the One Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil and makes you vicegerents in the earth? Another god with Allah? How little is that you deliberate?

Or the One Who turns (delivers) from the utter darkness of the land (body) and the sea (soul)? The One Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings going before His Mercy? Another god with Allah? High Exalted Allah is above what they associate (with Allah)!

Or the One Who creates as a first time, then brings it back and Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? Another god with Allah?” Say: “Bring your evidence if you are truthful”.

Say: “No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) but Allah and they cannot perceive when they will be raised again.

Nay, their knowledge about the Hereafter has been completed (the knowledge has been given to them entirely). In the contrary, they are (still) in doubt about it (the Hereafter). Nay, they are blind to it.

And those who disbelieve said: “Will we certainly be brought forth (from the earth), when our fathers and we have become dust?

We swear, this had been promised to us and our forefathers before. But this is (only) legends of the past”.

Say (to them): “Travel in the earth, and then see how was the end of the guilty”!

And do not grieve over them, nor be in distress because of what they plot.

And they say: “When is this promise, if you are truthful”?

Say: “Perhaps you are already being haunted by some of what you so hastily want”.

And surely your Lord is the Owner of generosity for mankind. And most of them are not grateful.

And most surely your Lord knows what their chests conceal and what they manifest.

And there is nothing concealed in the heaven and the earth is in the Clear Book (in Levhi Mahfuz).

Surely this Quran narrates to the Sons of Israel most of (the truths) that in which they differ.

And most surely it is a Return (Submission of spirit, physical body, soul and free will to Allah) and Mercy for the believers.

Surely your Lord will decide between them by His Judgment, and He is the Majestic, the All-Knowing.

Therefore, put your trust in Allah. Surely you are on the clear truth.

Surely you cannot make the dead to hear nor can you make the deaf to hear the call (of Allah) when they flee, turning their backs.

And nor can you make the blind reach Return (turning them) out of being Astray. You can force to hear only those who believe in Our verses (those who wish to return the spirit of Allah). These are the ones who are Muslims (submitted to Allah)!

And when the Word (that Allah said in the Book) will happen over them, We bring forth a Dabbeh (voice from the satellite) for them from the earth that will tell them that they are firmly do not believe in Our Verses (in the Book).

And on that Day, We will gather from among those who denied (belied) Our Verses from every nation in groups, then they shall be formed (into 72 groups).

When they come, (Allah) said (to them): “Did you reject My Verses because you could not comprehend them with knowledge, or what was it that you did (is there any other reason)”?

And the Word (of Allah) took place on them due to their tyranny. They can no longer speak.

Did they not see that We have made the night (dark) that they may rest therein, and the day (bright)? Most surely there are Signs (proofs) in this for a people who believe.

And on the Day when the Trumpet is blown, all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth (shall) be terrified except those Allah wills. And all (shall) come to Him humble.

And you see the mountain, you deem it immovable. It moves like the clouds. It is the creation of Allah Who has made everything strong. Surely He is All- Aware of what you do.

Whoever comes with good deeds (as their good deeds are more than their evil deeds), then for him there is (paradise) better than it. And they are the ones who are secure from terror on that Day of Permission (that they will not be going to hell).

Whoever comes with evil deeds (as their evil deeds are more than their good deeds), they will be thrown down on their faces in the Fire. Are you being punished with anything except what you do?

(Say): “I am only commanded to become a servant to the Lord. This city that He (Allah) has made it worthy of respect, and His are all things. And I am commanded that I should be of those who are submitted.

and read the Qur'an”. Whoever turns (submitted his spirit, physical body, soul and free will to Allah), he will turn (submit) for his own soul. And whoever remains in Darkness, then say: “I am only of the Warners”.

And say: “All Praises be to Allah. He will show you His Verses so that you shall recognize them”. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.
