Al-Naml
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Tâ¬Sîn. [These letters are one
of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings].
These are the Verses of the Qur'ân, and (it is) a Book (that makes things)
clear; (1) A guide (to the Right Path); and glad tidings for the believers
[who believe in the Oneness of Allâh (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism)]. (2) Those who perform
As¬Salât (Iqâmat¬as¬Salât) and give Zakât and they believe with certainty in
the Hereafter (resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell). (3) Verily, those who
believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so
that they wander about blindly (4) They are those for whom there will be an evil
torment (in this world). And in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.
(5) And verily, you (O Muhammad
SAW) are being taught the Qur'ân from the One, All-Wise, All-Knowing. (6) (Remember) when Mûsa
(Moses) said to his household: "Verily! I have seen a fire, I will bring
you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand, that you may
warm yourselves." (7) But when he came to it, he was called: "Blessed is
whosoever is in the fire, and whosoever is round about it! And glorified is
Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (8) "O Mûsa (Moses)!
Verily! It is I, Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (9) "And throw down
your stick!" But when he saw it moving as if it were a snake, he turned in
flight, and did not look back. (It was said): "O Mûsa (Moses)! Fear not,
verily! the Messengers fear not in front of Me. (10) "Except him who has done wrong
and afterwards has changed evil for good, then surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (11) "And put your hand into your bosom, it will come forth
white without hurt. (These are) among the nine signs (you will take) to Fir'aun
(Pharaoh) and his people, verily they are a people who are the Fâsiqûn
(rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). (12) But when Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came to them, clear to see, they said:
"This is a manifest magic." (13)
