34:1  Praise be to God, the one who for Him is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and for Him is the praise in the hereafter; and He is the Wise, the Aware.

34:2  He knows what enters into the earth, and what comes out of it, and what descends from the heaven, and what ascends into it; and He is the Compassionate, the Forgiving.

34:3  And those who disbelieved said, 'The Hour will not come to us.' Say, 'Nay, by my Lord, surely it will definitely come to you.’ The knower of the unseen, an atom's weight in the heavens nor in the earth does not escape Him, nor smaller than that nor greater; except in a clear book;

34:4  That He may recompense those who believed and did the good works; those, for them is forgiveness and a noble provision.

34:5  And those who strove concerning Our signs to frustrate, those, for them is a painful torment of punishment.

34:6  And those who have been given the knowledge see, the one which has been sent down to you from your Lord, it is the truth, and it guides to the way of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy.

34:7  And those who disbelieved said, 'Shall we direct you to a man, he will inform you when you are torn all to pieces, indeed you will surely be in a new creation?

34:8  Has he forged a lie against God or is there madness in him?' Nay, those who do not believe in the hereafter are in the punishment and in the far error.

34:9  Do they then not see what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We will, We cause the earth to sink with them or We make pieces of the sky fall upon them; indeed, in that surely is a sign to every repentant servant.

34:10  And surely, certainly We gave David grace from us, 'O mountains! Repeat praises with him, and the birds.' And We made iron pliable for him,

34:11  Saying, 'Make coats of mail and measure concerning the rings, and do right; indeed, I see what you do.'

34:12  And to Solomon the wind; its early morning is a month, and its evening is a month; and We made the spring of molten brass flow for him; and among the jinn is he who works before him with the permission of his Lord, and he who deviates from Our command among them, We make him taste the punishment of the blaze;

34:13  They make for him what he wills of chambers and images, and dishes like basins and firm cooking pots. Work, O family of David! Thankfully; and few is the thankful one among My servants.

34:14  And when We decreed death on him, his death was not shown to them except a creature of the earth eating his staff; and when he fell down, it became clear to the jinn that if they know the unseen, they would not have tarried in the shameful punishment.

34:15  Surely, certainly there was a sign for Saba in their dwellings: two gardens, from right and left, 'Eat from the provision of your Lord; and give thanks to Him. A good country and a forgiving Lord.'

34:16  And they turned away; then We sent against them the torrent of the dam, and We changed their two gardens for them to two gardens, possessors of bitter fruit and tamarisk, and something of lote trees, few.

34:17  That We recompensed them because they disbelieved; and do We recompense except the ungrateful?

34:18  And We made between them and the towns which We had put blessing in, apparent towns; and We measured the journey in them: 'Travel in them safely nights and days.'

34:19  Then they said, 'Our Lord! Make our journeys between far;' And they wronged themselves, then We made them stories; and We tore them all to pieces; indeed, in that surely are signs for every patient, thankful one.

34:20  And surely, certainly Iblis verified his thought on them, and they followed him, except a party of the believers.

34:21  And he had no authority over them, except that We may know one who believes in the hereafter from one who he is in doubt of it; and your Lord is a guardian over everything.

34:22  Say, 'Call on those whom you claimed besides God;' They do not possess an atom’s weight in the heavens nor in the earth; and they have no partnership in both of them; and there are no assistants for Him among them;

34:23  And intercession does not profit with Him, except for whom He permitted; until when terror is removed from their hearts, they will say, 'What said your Lord?' They will say, 'The truth.' And He is the High, the Great.

34:24  Say, 'Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?' Say, 'God; and indeed, we or you are surely upon guidance or in clear error.’

34:25  Say, 'You will not be asked about what sins we committed and we will not be asked about what you do.’

34:26  Say, 'Our Lord will reconcile between us, then He will judge between us with the truth; and He is the Judge, the Knowing.'

34:27  Say, 'Show me those partners whom you joined with Him. Not so, nay, He is God, the Mighty, the Wise.'

34:28  And We have not sent you except to mankind wholly, an announcer of glad tidings and a warner; but most of mankind do not know.

34:29  And they say, 'When is this, the promise, if you are truthful?'

34:30  Say, 'For you is a promise of a day, you cannot put back from it an hour nor precede.'

34:31  And those who disbelieved said, 'We will not believe in this, the Quran, nor in that which is before it;' And if you see when the wrongdoers are stationed before their Lord, some of them will return the speech to some. Those who were deemed weak will say to those who were proud, 'If not for you, surely we would have been believers.'

34:32  Those who were proud will say to those who were deemed weak, 'We hindered you from the guidance after it came to you? Nay, you were sinners.'

34:33  And those who were deemed weak will say to those who were proud, 'Nay, the plotting of the night and the day, when you were commanding us that we should disbelieve in God, and we should make peers for Him.' And they will conceal repentance when they see the punishment; and We will put the fetters in the necks of those who disbelieved. Shall they be recompensed except for what they used to do?

34:34  And We sent not a warner in a town except its affluent ones said, 'Indeed, we disbelieve in what you have been sent with.'

34:35  And they said, 'We are more in wealth and children, and we will not be punished.'

34:36  Say, 'Indeed, my Lord extends the provision to whom He wills and He straitens, but most of mankind do not know.'

34:37  And neither your wealth nor your children is that which will bring you near in nearness with Us, except whoever believed and did right; then those, for them is the recompense of double for what they did, and they in the upper chambers will be safe.

34:38  And those who strive concerning Our signs to frustrate, those will be arraigned in the punishment.

34:39  Say, ‘Indeed my Lord extends the provision to whom He wills of His servants and He straitens for him. And what you spent of anything, then He will replace it; and He is the best of providers.’

34:40  And on the day He will gather them all together, then He will say to the angels, 'Did these used to worship you?'

34:41  They will say, 'Glory be to You. You are our patron besides them. Nay, they used to worship the jinn, most of them believed in them.'

34:42  So today some of you do not control profit nor harm for some; and We will say to those who did wrong, 'Taste the punishment of the fire, the one which you used to call a lie.'

34:43  And when Our signs are recited to them, clear proofs, they say, 'This is not except a man, he desires to hinder you from what your forefathers used to worship;' and they say, 'This is not except a forged lie;' and those who disbelieved say to the truth when it comes to them, 'This is not except clear magic.'

34:44  And We gave them not books which they study, and We sent not to them a warner before you.

34:45  And those who were before them denied, and they have not attained a tenth of what We gave them; then they called My messengers liars, then how was My disapproval?

34:46  Say, 'I only admonish you with one, that you stand for God in twos and alone, then think.' There is no madness in your companion. He is not except a warner to you before a severe punishment.

34:47  Say, 'I asked you not for a payment, then it is for you; My payment is not except upon God, and He is a witness over everything.'

34:48  Say, 'Indeed, my Lord hurls forth the truth, the knower of the unseen.'

34:49  Say, 'The truth has come, and the falsehood originates not nor repeats.'

34:50  Say, 'If I have gone astray, then I only go astray against myself; and if I am guided, then by what my Lord inspires to me; indeed, He is hearing, near.'

34:51  And if you see when they are terrified, and there is no escaping, and they are taken from a near place.

34:52  And they will say, 'We have believed in it.' And how can they have the reach from a far place?

34:53  And certainly they disbelieved in it before, and they utter conjectures about the unseen from a far place.

34:54  And a barrier will come between them and what they desire, as was done with their sects before; indeed, they were in hesitating doubt.
