بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
34:1 Praise is to Allah to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. To Him is the praise in the Hereafter. He is the Wise, the All-Knowing.
34:2 He knows what enters the earth and what comes out of it, and what descends from the sky and what ascends to it. He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.
34:3 "The disbelievers said, "The Hour will never come."Say, "It will surely come to you by my Lord. He is the Knower of the future. Not an atom´s weight in the heavens and the earth is hidden from Him. Whether it is less than it or greater than it. It is all in a clear Book."
34:4 So He rewards those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is forgiveness and an abundant provision.
34:5 For those who challenge Our signs and miracles, there is a painful and terrible punishment.
34:6 Those who have been given knowledge see that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth and that it guides to the Way of the Exalted and Most Praised.
34:7 "The disbelievers said, "Shall we show you a man who informs you that you will be resurrected with a new creation after you have been scattered in pieces?"
34:8 "Does he ascribe a lie to Allah, or is he insane?"But those who do not believe in the Hereafter are in a far error and torment."
34:9 Have they not looked at what is in the heavens and the earth, before them and behind them? If We will, We will cause them to fall to the earth, or We will cause fragments of the sky to fall upon them. Surely there is a Sign in this for every servant who turns.
34:10 "We bestowed a favor on David from Our Presence: "O mountains, join with him; O birds, you too."We softened iron for him."
34:11 Make armor perfect in measure and weaving. Act virtuously. I am the Seer of all that you do.
34:12 And We gave to Solomon the wind, a month´s journey in the morning and a month´s journey in the evening, and We made a spring of oil gush forth for him. By the permission of your Lord, some of the jinn also worked under him. And whoever of them deviated from Our command, We made him taste a severe punishment.
34:13 They used to build for Him whatever He willed: Altars, statues, deep pools and heavy cauldrons. O family of David, work as a sign of gratitude. Few of My servants are thankful.
34:14 When We decreed his death, it was shown to them that he was dead, but a creature of the earth that ate his staff. When he collapsed, the jinn realized the truth: Had they known the unseen, they would not have continued in that humiliating hard work.
34:15 The houses of the people of Sheba were a wonder, with two gardens to the right and left. Eat of the provision of your Lord and give thanks to Him. A beautiful land and a Forgiving Lord.
34:16 But they turned away. So We sent the flood of the dam against them and turned their double gardens into double gardens with bitter fruits, tamarisk and some cedar trees
34:17 This is how We punished them for their ingratitude. Do We punish anyone but the ungrateful?
34:18 "We placed oases between them and the regions We made fertile, and We made it suitable for travel: "Travel therein in safety by night and by day."
34:19 "They wronged themselves, saying: "Our Lord, our journeys have become distant."At last We destroyed them and buried them in history. In this are lessons for every patient and thankful person."
34:20 Satan justified their expectations about them. They followed him except a group of believers.
