26|2|These are the verses of the perfect Book which tells the right from the wrong (and which also makes the meaning and significance of the verses clear).

 

26|3|LaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka alla yakoonoo mumineena

26|3|Perhaps you will consume yourself away (with anxiety) because they do not become believers.

26|4|If We so please We can send down upon them such a sign from above that their necks would bend (and heads bow down) in submission to it.

26|5|There never comes to them a fresh Reminder (in a new form and with new details) from the Most Gracious (God) but they turn away from it.

26|6|Faqad kaththaboo fasayateehim anbao ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

26|6|Now, when they have cried lies (to the Messages of their Lord and denied the Qur'ân), there will soon come to them the great tidings (about their own doom and predominance of Islam) which they used to take lightly.

 

26|7|Awalam yaraw ila alardi kam anbatna feeha  min kulli zawjin kareemin

26|7|Do they not see the earth, how many excellent and useful things of all species We have caused to grow on it?

26|8|Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

26|12|(Moses) said, `My Lord! I am afraid they will cry me lies.

26|13|`And my bosom straitens, (and my heart fails me), and my tongue is not fluent (for feeling inadequate to deliver the message I am entrusted with), therefore send to Aaron (to help me).

 

26|14|Walahum AAalayya thanbun faakhafu an yaqtulooni

26|14|`Moreover, they have a charge (of the murder of an Egyptian) against me, so I fear they will kill me (before I am able to deliver Your Message to them).'

 

26|15|Qala kalla faithhaba biayatina  inna maAAakum mustamiAAoona

26|15|(The Lord) said, `That shall not be, go then both of you, with Our Messages and We are assuredly with you listening (to your prayers).

26|18|Qala alam nurabbika feena waleedan walabithta feena  min AAumurika sineena

26|18|(So when Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh) he said (to Moses), `Did we not bring you up among us when you were a mere babe? And you stayed with us many years of your life.

 

 26|19|WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAalta waanta mina alkafireena

26|19|`And you have surely committed an act (of homicide), and you are of the ungrateful.'

 

 26|20|Qala faAAaltuha ithan waana mina alddalleena

26|20|(Moses) said, `Indeed I did it (then inadvertently and) as I was lost (for the love of my people and was in a perplexed state of mind).

26|21|Fafarartu minkum lamma khiftukum fawahaba lee rabbee hukman wajaAAalanee mina almursaleena

26|21|`So I fled from you when I apprehended (injustice from) you; then (it came to pass that) my Lord granted me knowledge and (right) judgment and made me (one) of the Messengers.

26|22|`And this insignificant favour (of your bringing me up) that you (so tauntingly) remind me of (can be no reasonable excuse) for you have enslaved (the whole community of) the Children of Israel (for no fault of theirs).'

 

26|23|Qala firAAawnu wama rabbu alAAalameena

26|23|Pharaoh (was confounded and turning the topic of the conversation) said, `What is (this) Lord of the world (by whom you claim to be sent?)'

 

26|24|Qala rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

26|24|(Moses) said, `(In respect of apace) He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that lies between the two; if you (and your companions) be convinced (of this true knowledge and have faith in Him).'

 

26|25|Qala liman hawlahu ala tastamiAAoona

26|25|(Thereupon Pharaoh) said to those around him, `Do you not hear (what is being said)?'

 26|26|Qala rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

26|26|(Moses continued, `He is the same Who is) your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.'

 

26|27|Qala inna rasoolakumu allathee orsila ilaykum lamajnoonun

26|27|(Pharaoh) said, `Most surely, this Messenger of yours who has been sent to you is a mad man indeed.'

 

26|28|Qala rabbu almashriqi waalmaghribi wama baynahuma in kuntum taAAqiloona

26|28|(Moses) said (continuing his speech), `(In respect of time the Lord of the worlds is the same as) the Lord of the east and of the west and of all that lies between the two. (You can be rightly guided) if you could only use your senses.'

 

26|29|Qala laini ittakhathta ilahan ghayree laajAAalannaka mina almasjooneena

26|29|(Pharaoh) said, `If you worship any god other than me, I will certainly make you one of the imprisoned.'

 

26|30|Qala awalaw jituka bishayin mubeenin

26|30|(Moses) said, `(Will you do this,) even though I bring to you something that makes (the truth of my statement) clear to you?'

26|31|Qala fati bihi in kunta mina alssadiqeena

26|31|(Pharaoh) said, `Bring it then, if you are of the truthful.'

 

26|32|Faalqa AAasahu faitha hiya thuAAbanun mubeenun

26|32|So he put his staff (on the ground) and behold, it was a serpent plainly visible.

 

26|33|WanazaAAa yadahu faitha hiya baydao lilnnathireena

26|33|And he stuck his hand out and lo! it was (shining) white to the beholders.

 

26|34|Qala lilmalai hawlahu inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun

26|34|(Pharaoh) said to the courtiers around him, `This (man) is surely a skilled sorcerer,

 

 26|35|Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famatha  tamuroona

26|35|`Who seeks to turn you out of your country by dint of his sorcery. Now, what do you advise?'

26|36|Qaloo arjih waakhahu waibAAath fee almadaini hashireena

26|36|They said, `Detain him and his brother for a while and send heralds into the cities to collect;

 

26|37|Yatooka bikulli sahharin AAaleemin

26|37|`And bring to you all skilled and very expert sorcerers.'

 

26|38|FajumiAAa alssaharatu limeeqati yawmin maAAloomin

26|38|So the sorcerers were gathered together at the appointed time and place on a fixed day.

 

26|39|Waqeela lilnnasi hal antum mujtamiAAoona

26|39|And it was said to the people, `Will you (also) assemble together (in the field of contest);

26|40|`So that we may follow the sorcerers if they win clear supremacy.'

26|41|Falamma jaa alssaharatu qaloo lifirAAawna ainna lana laajran in kunna nahnu alghalibeena

26|41|So when all the sorcerers came they said to Pharaoh, `Shall we be really and richly rewarded if we gain clear supremacy?'

 

26|42|Qala naAAam wainnakum ithan lamina almuqarrabeena

26|42|He said, `Yes, and surely you will in that case be among my close companions.'

 

26|43|Qala lahum moosa alqoo ma antum mulqoona

26|43|Moses said to them, `(Now) put forward (of your things of sorcery), what you have to put forward.'

 

26|44|Faalqaw hibalahum waAAisiyyahum waqaloo biAAizzati firAAawna inna lanahnu alghaliboona

26|44|So they put down (on the ground) their ropes and their staffs and said, `By Pharaoh's honour and might it is we who will certainly be the winners.'

 

26|45|Faalqa moosa AAasahu faitha hiya talqafu ma yafikoona

26|45|Then Moses put down (on the ground) his staff; lo! it instantly destroyed all that they had fabricated.

26|46|Faolqiya alssaharatu sajideena

26|46|Thereupon the sorcerers were impelled to fall down prostrating;

26|47|And they said, `We believe in the Lord of the worlds;

 

26|48|Rabbi moosa waharoona

26|48|`The Lord of Moses and Aaron.'

 

26|49|Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falasawfa taAAlamoona laoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum ajmaAAeena

26|49|(Pharaoh) said, `Have you believed in him before I gave you leave? Indeed he is your chief, the same who taught you sorcery. So you will soon know (your horrible end). I will most surely cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides for (your this) opposition (to me); and I will crucify you to death one and all.'

 

26|50|Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina  munqaliboona

26|50|They said, `It does not matter at all. We have, after all, to return to our Lord.

26|51|`We do hope that our Lord will forgive us our offences, since we are the first to believe.'

 

26|52|Waawhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee innakum muttabaAAoona

26|52|And We revealed to Moses (directing him), `Take away My servants by night for you shall certainly be pursued.'

 

26|53|Faarsala firAAawnu fee almadaini hashireena

26|53|Pharaoh (when he came to know of the exodus) sent heralds to the towns to collect (troops and announce saying),

 

26|54|Inna haolai lashirthimatun qaleeloona

26|54|`These (Israelites) are indeed a despicable party, a few in number,

26|55|`Yet they have offended us (by defying us and making good their escape),

26|56|Wainna lajameeAAun hathiroona

26|56|`And we are, (as compared with them,) a united multitude, fully equipped and vigilant.'

 

 26|57|Faakhrajnahum min jannatin waAAuyoonin

26|57|So We made them (- Pharaoh and his troops) leave the land of gardens and springs,

 

26|58|Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin

26|58|As well as (every place with) treasures and every abode of honour (and grandeur).

 

26|59|Kathalika waawrathnaha banee israeela

26|59|That is what We did (for their wrong- doings). And We gave (the like of) these (- gardens and springs) as a free gift to the Children of Israel.

 

26|60|FaatbaAAoohum mushriqeena

26|60|And they (- the hosts of Pharaoh) pursued them at sunrise.

26|61|Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona

26|61|And when the two hosts sighted each other the companions of Moses said, `We are surely overtaken.'

 

 26|62|Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni

26|62|(Moses) said, `No, not at all, my Lord is with me, He will lead me out of the impasse (and to safety).'

 

26|63|Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra fainfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaalttawdi alAAatheemi

26|63|Then We revealed to Moses (saying), `Strike the sea with your staff. (And as he did) so it parted, and each part (of the two hosts) looked like a huge mound.

 

 26|64|Waazlafna thamma alakhareena

26|64|And We caused the others (the pursuers, the people of Pharaoh,) draw near the same place.

 

26|65|Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena

26|65|And We saved Moses and those who were with him all together.

 26|66|Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

26|66|Then We drowned the others.

 

26|67|Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

26|67|Behold! there is a (marvelous) sign in this (episode), yet most of them would not be believers.

 

26|68|Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

26|68|And indeed your Lord, He is the All-Mighty (to crush His enemies), the Ever Merciful (towards His servants).

 

26|69|Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa ibraheema

27|17|And there were gathered together before Solomon his hosts comprising of jinn (- haughty) and (ordinary) men and birds and swift footed horses, and they were then arranged in separate well-disciplined columns.

 

27|18|Hatta itha ataw AAala wadi alnnamli qalat namlatun ya ayyuha alnnamlu odkhuloo masakinakum la yahtimannakum sulaymanu wajunooduhu wahum la yashAAuroona

27|18|(Once he was marching with them) until when they (his armies) reached the valley of (the tribe named) al-Naml, a distinguished Namlite said, `O al-Naml! get into your habitations lest Solomon and his hosts should crush you unknowingly.'

 

27|19|Fatabassama dahikan min qawliha waqala rabbi awziAAnee an ashkura niAAmataka allatee anAAamta AAalayya waAAala  walidayya waan aAAmala salihan tardahu waadkhilnee birahmatika fee AAibadika alssaliheena

27|19|Thereupon he (- Solomon) wondered and was pleased with (the good opinion the Namlite expressed about his own and his army's power and piety) and said (praying), `My Lord! rouse me up that I may offer thanks for the favours You have shown me and my forefathers and that I should do such deeds as are righteous and may please You, and count me through Your mercy with Your righteous servants.'

 

27|20|Watafaqqada alttayra faqala ma liya la  ara alhudhuda am kana mina alghaibeena

27|20|And (once) he reviewed the birds and the (cavalry of) swift running horses and said, `How is it that I do not see (my officer named) Hudhud? Is he deliberately absent?

27|21|LaoAAaththibannahu AAathaban shadeedan aw laathbahannahu aw layatiyannee bisultanin mubeenin

27|21|`I will certainly punish him very severely, rather I will execute him or else he must give me some valid excuse (for remaining absent).

 

27|22|Famakatha ghayra baAAeedin faqala ahattu bima  lam tuhit bihi wajituka min sabain binabain yaqeenin

27|22|But he (- Solomon) had not to wait long (before Hudhud came) and said, `I have acquired that information which you do not possess. I have come to you from (the territory of a Yemanite tribe) Saba' with sure and important news (to tell).

 

27|23|Innee wajadtu imraatan tamlikuhum waootiyat min kulli shayin walaha  AAarshun AAatheemun

27|23|`I found (there) a (wonderful) woman ruling over them (- the Sabaeans) and she has been given everything (she requires) and owns a magnificent throne.

 

27|24|Wajadtuha waqawmaha yasjudoona lilshshamsi min dooni Allahi wazayyana lahumu alshshaytanu aAAmalahum fasaddahum AAani alssabeeli fahum la yahtadoona

27|24|`I (also) found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allâh. And satan has made their deeds fair-seeming to them (so that they take pride in their practices), and has thus hindered them from the right way, so that they do not follow true guidance.

 

27|25|Alla yasjudoo lillahi allathee yukhriju alkhabaa fee alssamawati waalardi wayaAAlamu ma tukhfoona wama tuAAlinoona

27|25|`And (satan has done this) so that they do not worship Allâh while Allâh is He Who brings to light all that lies hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows all that you (O people!) conceal (in your minds) and all that you make known (of your designs).

27|26|Allahu la ilaha illa huwa rabbu alAAarshi alAAatheemi

27|26|`Allâh! there is no other, cannot be and will never be One worthy of worship but He, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.' [Prostration]

 

27|27|Qala sananthuru asadaqta am kunta mina alkathibeena

27|27|(Thereupon Solomon) said, `We will now look into it and see whether you have spoken the truth or whether you are of the liars.

27|29|Qalat ya ayyuha almalao innee olqiya ilayya kitabun kareemun

27|29|(When the Queen saw the letter) she said, `Chieftains! there has been delivered to me a noble letter.

27|32|She said, `Chieftains! give me your sound and mature advice in the matter which confronts me, (for) I decide no important matter except when you are present with me (to advise).'

 

27|33|Qaloo nahnu oloo quwwatin waoloo basin shadeedin waalamru ilayki faonthuree matha tamureena

27|33|They said, `We are a people possessing (extraordinary) power and are gallant fighters; but as for the decision it rests with you, therefore you may thoroughly consider what order you want to give.'

 

27|34|Qalat inna almulooka itha dakhaloo qaryatan afsadooha  wajaAAaloo aAAizzata ahliha athillatan wakathalika yafAAaloona

27|34|She said, `Surely, when the kings enter a township (as invaders) they ruin it and reduce its most honourable residents to the most degraded positions. And such indeed will be their (- of Solomon and his men's) ways.

27|36|Falamma jaa sulaymana qala atumiddoonani bimalin fama ataniya Allahu khayrun mimma atakum bal antum bihadiyyatikum tafrahoona

27|36|So when he (- the Queen's envoy) came (with the present) to Solomon he (- Solomon) said, `Do you mean to help me with (your) wealth? Well, what Allâh has given me is far better than what He has given you. You seem to be rather proud of your gift.

 

27|37|IrjiAA ilayhim falanatiyannahum bijunoodin la qibala lahum biha walanukhrijannahum minha athillatan wahum saghiroona

27|37|`Go back to them (and tell your people that), we shall certainly come down upon them with hosts they have no power to withstand and we shall, surely, drive them out from there (- their country) disgraced, while they are subjugated?'

 

27|38|Qala ya ayyuha almalao ayyukum yateenee biAAarshiha qabla an yatoonee muslimeena

27|38|(Later on addressing his courtiers Solomon) said, `Nobles! which one of you will bring me a throne befitting her (- the Queen) before they come to me surrendering in submission.'

 

27|39|Qala AAifreetun mina aljinni ana ateeka bihi qabla an taqooma min maqamika wainne AAalayhi laqawiyyun ameenun

27|39|A stalwart from among the jinn said, `I will bring it to you (prepared as you desire), before you rise and depart from your place of encampment. Surely, I am strong and expert enough (to accomplish this task and can be) trusted (with it).'

27|40|One (Israelite) who had knowledge of the Scripture said, `I will bring it to you before your Yemanite (noble guests) come to you.' And when he (- Solomon) saw it (- the throne) set before him he said, `This is due to the grace of my Lord; so that He may reveal my inner self to show whether I am grateful (for all His favours) or ungrateful. Indeed, he who thanks, his thanksgiving is for his own good, and he who shows ingratitude (let him remember that) My Lord is truly Self-Sufficient (and is in need of no praise), Oft-Generous (and Noble in His own right).'

27|41|Qala nakkiroo laha AAarshaha nanthur atahtadee am takoonu mina allatheena la yahtadoona

27|41|He (further) said, `Make her own (old) throne seem discredited to her (in her own estimation by making this new throne of a very excellent standard). We shall see (thereby) whether she follows the right way (by discarding her old idolatrous throne) or whether she is (one) of those who do not follow the right way.'

 

27|42|Falamma jaat qeela ahakatha AAarshuki qalat kaannahu huwa waooteena alAAilma min qabliha wakunna  muslimeena

27|42|When she came (to Solomon) it was said to her, `Is your throne like this?' She said, `It is as though it were much the same. We had been given the knowledge (about your excellence and perfection) before this and we have already surrendered in submission (to you).'

 

27|43|Wasaddaha ma kanat taAAbudu min dooni Allahi innaha kanat min qawmin kafireena

27|43|And (Solomon) held her back from the things she used to worship apart from Allâh, for she belonged to an unbelieving people.

 

27|44|Qeela laha odkhulee alssarha falamma  raathu hasibathu lujjatan wakashafat AAan saqayha qala innahu sarhun mumarradun min qawareera qalat rabbi innee thalamtu nafsee waaslamtu maAAa sulaymana lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

27|44|It was said to her, `Enter the palace.' And when she saw it she took it for a great expanse of water. She was greatly perturbed. (Solomon) said, `It is a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass.' She (realizing the truth that she worshipped outward objects like the sun in place of Reality, the true God,) said, `My Lord! I have done injustice to myself and (now) I submit myself through Solomon to Allâh, the Lord of the worlds.'

 

27|45|Walaqad arsalna ila thamooda akhahum salihan ani oAAbudoo Allaha faitha hum fareeqani yakhtasimoona

27|45|And (likewise) We sent to Thamûd their kinsman Sâlih, (who said), `Worship Allâh.' But (as soon as they heard this preaching) they broke up into two factions who contended with each another.

27|46|Qala ya qawmi lima tastaAAjiloona bialssayyiati qabla alhasanati lawla tastaghfiroona Allaha laAAallakum turhamoona

27|46|He said, `O my people! why do you seek to hasten on evil, rather than good, (and you ask for a sign of destruction instead of that of bliss for you)? Why do you not ask for Allâh's protection so that you may be shown mercy?'

 

27|47|Qaloo ittayyarna bika wabiman maAAaka qala tairukum AAinda Allahi bal antum qawmun tuftanoona

27|47|They said, `We have suffered due to you and your companions.' (Sâlih) said, `Your deeds and true cause of your sufferings is with Allâh (Who is punishing you for your evil deeds). Nay, you are a people who are being tried (to distinguish the good of you from the bad).

 

27|48|Wakana fee almadeenati tisAAatu rahtin yufsidoona fee alardi wala yuslihoona

27|48|And there were in the city a gang of nine (persons) who had upset the order and peace in the country and would not reform (themselves).

 

27|49|Qaloo taqasamoo biAllahi lanubayyitannahu waahlahu thumma lanaqoolanna liwaliyyihi ma shahidna mahlika ahlihi wainna lasadiqoona

27|49|They said one to another, `Let us swear by Allâh that we will surely make a raid on him (-Sâlih) and his family by night and then we will say to his claimant (- the next of kin, if he seeks vengeance) that we were not present at the time and place of the destruction of his family and most surely we speak the truth.'

 

27|50|Wamakaroo makran wamakarna makran wahum la yashAAuroona

27|50|And they hatched a plot and We likewise brought forth a counter plan of which they were not aware (that their plotting would go in vain).

27|51|Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu makrihim anna dammarnahum waqawmahum ajmaAAeena

27|51|Look, then how (evil) was the end their planning met; We utterly destroyed them and their people one and all.

 

27|52|Fatilka buyootuhum khawiyatan bima thalamoo inna fee thalika laayatan liqawmin yaAAlamoona

 27|52|So their houses are lying deserted over there because of their acting unjustly. Indeed, in this (episode) there is a great sign for a people who would know.

 

27|53|Waanjayna allatheena amanoo wakanoo yattaqoona

27|53|(Whereas We destroyed them,) We saved those who had believed and used to guard against evil.

 

27|54|Walootan ith qala liqawmihi atatoona alfahishata waantum tubsiroona

27|54|And (We also sent) Lot (as a Messenger). (Recall) when he said to his people, `Do you commit obscenity while you see (the evil thereof).

 

27|55|Ainnakum latatoona alrrijala shahwatan min dooni alnnisai bal antum qawmun tajhaloona

27|55|`What! (is it true) you approach men instead of (your) women to satisfy (your) lust? Nay, you are indeed a people who act senselessly.'

27|56|Fama kana jawaba qawmihi illa an qaloo akhrijoo ala lootin min qaryatikum innahum onasun yatatahharoona

27|56|But his people had no reply except that they said, `Drive the followers of Lot out of your township. They are a people who would pose (and parade) to be extra pure and righteous (internally and externally).'

 

27|57|Faanjaynahu waahlahu illa imraatahu qaddarnaha  mina alghabireena

27|57|So the result was that We saved him and his followers except his wife. We had ordained about her (for her foul deeds) to be with those who stayed behind (and thus would not be saved).

 

27|58|Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena

27|58|And We pelted them with a terrible rain (of stones). So (look,) how evil was the rain which descended upon those who had been warned!

 

27|59|Quli alhamdu lillahi wasalamun AAala AAibadihi allatheena istafa allahu khayrun amma yushrikoona

27|59|Say, `All kind of true and perfect praise belongs to Allâh. And peace be upon those of His servants whom He has chosen.' Who is to be preferred, Allâh or the things they associate (with Him)?

 

27|60|Amman khalaqa alssamawati waalarda waanzala lakum mina alssamai maan faanbatna  bihi hadaiqa thata bahjatin ma kana lakum an tunbitoo shajaraha ailahun maAAa Allahi bal hum qawmun yaAAdiloona

27|60|Or Who is it that created the heavens and the earth, and sends down water for you from the clouds? (It is We.) Then We cause to grow with it orchards full of bloom and loveliness. You had no power to cause their trees to grow. Is there any god with Allâh? (There is none;) yet there are a people who ascribe (to Him) equals (in all these works, and deviate from the right path).

27|61|Or Who is it that made the earth a resting place; and made the rivers flow in it; and raised (on the earth) firm mountains for its advantage; and put a barrier between the two waters? Is there a god with Allâh (as an associate with Him in His works)? Nay, not so, yet most of them do not know (the truth).

 

27|62|Amman yujeebu almudtarra itha daAAahu wayakshifu alssooa wayajAAalukum khulafaa alardi ailahun maAAa Allahi qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

27|62|Or Who is it that answers the distressed person when he calls on Him, and removes (his) distress? And Who is it that makes you (the) rulers in the land? Is there any other god with Allâh? Little is the heed you take!

27|63|Or Who is it that guides you (to the path of salvation) in all kinds of darkness (and vicissitudes) on the land and the sea; and Who is it that sends the winds as heralds of His mercy. Is there any god with Allâh (to do such things)? Highly-Exalted is Allâh above all the things they associate (with Him).

 

27|64|Amman yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu waman yarzuqukum mina alssamai waalardi ailahun maAAa Allahi qul hatoo burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeena

27|64|Or Who is it that originates the creation then keeps on repeating and reproducing it, and Who is it that provides for your sustenance (both physical and spiritual) from the heaven and the earth? Is there any other god with Allâh (capable of being a partner with Him in all these works)? Say, `Bring forward your proof (in support of your polytheistic beliefs) if you are truthful (in what you claim).'

 

27|65|Qul la yaAAlamu man fee alssamawati waalardi alghayba illa Allahu wama yashAAuroona ayyana yubAAathoona

27|67|And those who disbelieve say, `Is it that when we and our forefathers have been reduced to dust we shall really be brought forth (alive again)?
