[Saba 34:8] “Has he fabricated a lie against Allah, or is he insane?” Rather those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are in the punishment and extreme error. [Saba 34:9] So did they not see what is before them and what is behind them in the sky and the earth? If We will, We can bury them into the earth or cause a part of the sky to fall on them; indeed in this is a sign for every repentant bondman. Section 2 [Saba 34:10] And indeed We gave Dawud the utmost excellence from Us; “O the hills and birds, repent towards Allah along with him”; and We made iron soft for him. [Saba 34:11]"Make large coats of armour and keep proper measure while making; and all of you perform good deeds; I am indeed seeing your deeds.” [Saba 34:12] And We gave the wind in Sulaiman’s control – its morning journey equal to a month’s course and the evening journey equal to a month’s course; and We sprung a stream of molten copper for him; and from the jinns, who worked before him by the command of his Lord; and those among them who turned away from Our command - We shall make them taste the punishment of the blazing fire. [Saba 34:13] They made for him whatever he wished - synagogues and statues, basins like ponds, and large pots built into the ground; “Be thankful, O the people of Dawud!” And few among My bondmen are grateful. [Saba 34:14] So when We sent the command of death towards
him, no one revealed his death to the jinns except the termite of the earth
which ate his staff; and when he came to the ground, the truth about the
jinns was exposed - if they had known the hidden, they would not have remained
in the disgraceful toil. |
