2- That clear book is a guide to the truth and informs the truths that provide peace for the believers.

3- Those who understand this truth are always on the consciousness of devotion to Allah and are inpurification and share what is in themselves and they eventually become one with Allah.

4- Those who do not believe do not know their end, do not know that the attributes in them belong toUs, and are not aware of their deeds. They are in a state of lack of insight.

7-And when Moses saw a light of glory, he said to his family: I hope that I can bring you knowledgefrom there, or learn from it, so that your hearts may be at ease.

8-So, when he came there, he heard the call: Blessed be those who are enlightened and whounderstand that this light has encompassed all places. Allah, who has created all existence, is free fromall imperfect attributes.

9-O Moses! I am Allah, the Supreme Owner of all attributes, who has dominion over all existence.

10-Leave behind what you know and carry, which are your support. Thus, he understood how his ownwisdom and carry had led him to evil states and he turned to his own understandings and looked andwas forced, but did not comment. O Moses! Do not fear, indeed there is no fear in my presence forthose who have reached the truth.

11-Whoever realizes that he is an oppressor and then changes from bad to good, then let him knowthat I am the Forgiver, the Creator of all things from Myself.

12-Enter the power that created you within you, so that it may be purified, and you may refrain fromevil. Go to Pharaoh and his people with the sublime proofs. They became a people who strayed fromthe truth.

13-So, when Our proofs were presented to them in a way that they could see and understand, theysaid, This is a clear deception.

14-They rejected Our proofs, knowing them, without trying to understand them, and they becameamong the oppressors and became arrogant. So, see what was the end of those who spread mischief.

15-And David and Solomon were of those who understood the wisdom We had presented. They said,”Allah is the Owner of all attributes. He gave us the understanding to understand the multitude, and Igave His servants security.”

16-Solomon inherited David. He said: O people! We have been taught the language of the science ofmonotheism and we have been informed who is the speaker and the doer of all things. Indeed, theseare His clear blessings.

17-Solomon wanted to understand from where all the known and unknown existences are revealed andthe system followed by those who are on a sublime path.

18-When he came to those who were on the path of seeking the truth, a person of truth said: O youwho are on the path of truth! Stay in your stations, so that Solomon and his powers do not harm youunknowingly.

19-He smiled at his words and laughed. He said: O my Lord! Grant me divine thought to understandYour blessings and to submit to You. The blessings that are upon me and upon my parents are Yours.Include me in Your mercy so that I may do good deeds and act in accordance with Your will. May I beamong those who are righteous and who serve You at all times.

20-He looked at those who were in a state of exaltation and observed. Then he said: Why can’t I seethe one who calls in harmony, or has he disappeared?

21-Surely, I will give him more trouble, or I will slaughter him, or he should come to me with a clearproof.

22-So, he came soon. Then, he said: I have brought you the news of that which Saba is close to, thatyou may understand what you do not understand.

23-I saw the one who reigned over them, the Owner of the rules, and all things were presented to him,and he has a great throne.

24-I saw him and his people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and I saw that they were inostentation, and that they became devils with their deeds, and that they were departing from the pathof truth, so they could not find the way to the truth.

25-How will they not prostrate to Allah? He is the One who brings forth all that is in the heavens andthe earth, as from a seed, and He creates with His wisdom the seen and the unseen.

26-There is no power except Allah. He is the Creator of all things, the Decisive One.

27-He said: We will see whether you are of those who speak the truth or of those who lie.

28-Go with the words of the truth, then present them, then stay away from them, so see which waythey turn.

29-The king of Sheba said: O chiefs! I have been presented with divine words from the noble.

30-The truth is from Solomon, and indeed it is in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the MostMerciful.

31-Do not be arrogant, he says, come to me and be safe.

32-He said: O learned ones! I do not know what to do, so inform me, so that I may reach the truth ofthe decrees with what you know.

33-They said: We are the possessors of great power and are stronger with our greatness, so inform us,then see what we do.

34-He said: Indeed, when a king enters a town, it disperses and all the people surrender to his majesty.And that is what the doer does.

35-I will send them a gift, then I will see with what the officers return.

36-So,when they came to Solomon, he said: Do you come to me with what you attribute toyourselves? Then he said: What Allah has given me is better than what you present. On the contrary,you boast about your gifts.

37-Look at them! They did not understand the power We gave them there. They were indeed inhumiliation, and they returned to where they came from.

38-He said: O chiefs! Which of you will bring his throne to me before they surrender to Me?

39-One of the unknown, who thought himself strong, said: I will bring it to you before you rise fromyour place, and I am strong over it.

40-A person who had knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you before your eyelids open andclose. So, when he saw it standing before him, he said: These are the secrets of my Lord’s subtleties ofcreation. This is so that I may understand the realities. Either I will be of those who are grateful or Iwill be of those who ignore and disregard the realities. And whoever knows the Owner of the blessingshe has been given, then surely that submission is for him, and whoever ignores and disregards therealities, then let him know that my Lord is the Supreme Owner of all that exists.

41-He said: Let us see how he who does not know the Owner of the whole earth will find the way, orwill he be of those who cannot find the way.

42-So when he came, it was said: Are you the one who is exalted? He said: That was before wisdomwas given to us. Now we are among those who submit.

43-So, he turned away from what he worshipped besides Allah. Surely, he was a blind man of thetruths.

44-It was said to him: Enter the sublime palace. So, when he saw it, he saw the nobility that lasted foreternity. He said: Surely, that palace is a pure light. He said: I did not know who created me, I haveruined myself. So, I surrendered to Allah, who created all creation, along with Solomon.

45-Indeed, Salih, their brother, also came out to the Thamud people to explain our truths. He told themthat they were servants of Allah. At that time, they were in division and in quarrel.

46-Salih said: O my people! Why do you hurry to be in bad conditions when you can be in goodconditions? Can you not ask forgiveness from Allah? Perhaps you would be shown mercy.

47-They said: You bring ill fortune upon us and upon whoever is with you. Salih said: On thecontrary, you are not a people who understand Allah, the Owner of all existence, and you bring illfortune into being.

48-And there were nine groups in the city. They were corrupters in the land and did not follow thetruth.

49-They said, swearing by Allah: Let us take him and his family where they are. Then, we will say tohis friends: We did not see his family destroyed, and we are indeed telling the truth.

50-And they remained in the darkness of their ignorance, and because they remained in the darkness oftheir ignorance, they could not perceive Us. They could not understand themselves and theirsurroundings.

51-And see what will be the end of those who remain in the darkness of ignorance. How they and allthose like them become blind in their failure to understand Us.

52-They will remain in a void because of their injustice in their place. Surely, there are signs in themfor those who seek to know.

53-And those who believe and keep away from evil and do not associate others with Us will findsafety in Us.

54-And Lot said to his people: Do you come knowingly for the sake of transgression and evil andselfishness?

55-And you come for the sake of men and women for your own desires. In fact, you are a people whoare ignorant.

56-So, his people had no answer. But they said: Drive Lot and his family out of your town, they arepure people.

57-He and his family understood Us and were safe, except those who did not understand Our measurein existence and the functionings therein, and remained in their former state of ignorance.

58-They considered Our mercy upon them as their mercy. Thus, those who were called to the truth andwarned, used the mercy in evil.

59-Say: Allah is the Owner of all attributes. Those who are in servitude to Allah are safe, they choosethe truth over the falsehood, and they are on the right path in the way of Allah. But some of themattribute to themselves existence, besides the glory of Allah.

60-Who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky for you, then causedgardens to grow with it, beautiful? You did not understand where this creation came from. You did notunderstand that Allah is in you, so you took deities and became idolaters.

61-Who made the earth a place, and placed in it the rivers that flow and the mountains that stand firm,and placed a barrier between the two seas? You did not understand that Allah is in you, so you tookdeities. On the contrary, most of them do not know the truth.

62-Who is it that responds to you when you turn to Him when there is a difficulty, and removes yourdistress from you, and arranges you in the earth for generations? You do not understand that Allah isin you, so you take deities? You do not reflect deeply to understand the realities of existence, even alittle.

63-Who brings you out of darkness into light, who guides you on land and sea? Who brings the windto light as a glad tiding, who envelops all places with His mercy? You do not understand that Allah isin you, but you take deities, and you attribute to yourselves existence besides the glory of Allah.

64-From whom is the beginning of existence, who creates every moment? Who attributes to you whatis in the heavens and what is on the earth? You take deities instead of Allah. Say: Bring your proofs, ifyou claim to be truthful.

65-Speak: There is no one who creates with His wisdom whatever is in the heavens and whatever is onthe earth, and the unknown and the unseen, except Allah. When will they abandon theirunconsciousness and understand existence?

66-On the contrary, they did not understand the wisdom, nor did they understand its end, but theyremained in doubt, and on the contrary, they could not see the truth.

67- Those who disregard and disguise the truths say: When we and our ancestors are dust, will we beresurrected?

68- Indeed, this was promised to us and our ancestors. This is nothing but legends of the past.

69- Say: Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who remained in evil.

70- Do not be sad about what they did, and do not be troubled by their evil deeds.

71- They say: When will this promise come, if you are truthful?

72- Say: Perhaps what some of you wish to hasten is following you.

73-Surely, He who created you is the Owner of all values. But most of them do not acknowledge theOwner of the blessings given to them.

74-Surely, He who created you is The Owner of Wisdom. But most of them do not have the ability tounderstand the seen or the unseen.

75-Everything you cannot find an answer to in the heavens and the earth is in the clear book of theuniverse.

76-Surely, the book of the universe explains the issues about which those who turn to Allah differ.

77-Surely, He is the guide and a mercy for the believers.

78-Surely, He is the one who created you and He is the one who decides and knows everything.

79-Know that Allah is the Owner of all existence, and submit. You are indeed upon the clear truths.

80-Surely, you cannot make those who are in a state of ignorance hear, nor can you make those whoare deaf to the truth hear, even if you invite them who have turned away in their own ignorance.

81-You cannot guide those who have abandoned the truth and have strayed into their ownunderstanding, nor can you guide those who do not see the truth. You can only make those whobelieve in Our signs hear. They are the ones in peace.

82-We have brought them forth on earth as a moving being, speaking, and Our manifestations are inthem at every moment. Indeed, people have not perceived Our signs in them.

83-All groups, which appear to be groups, are in Our unity at every moment. Those who lie againstOur signs are scattered in ignorance.

84-Thus, it will be conveyed to those who lie against Our signs: You have not understood the truthbecause of what you have done.

85-What is said to them will come true, and they will not be able to speak the truth because of theirwrongdoing.

86-Do they not see that We have made the night to be quiet and the day to be bright? Indeed, in theseare signs for those who believe.

87-It is He who breathes in bodies at every moment. But whoever seeks to understand Allah willexamine what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, so that he will be free from its difficulties andwill understand that all things are in submission to Him.

88-You see the mountains and you think they are motionless, but they are in motion, like themovement of the clouds. All things show the artistry of Allah in a pattern. Indeed, He informs you ofwhat you do at every moment.

89-Whoever is engaged in good deeds, then good things come to him from his deeds, and those whoare in that state are saved from troubles, and they are secure at all times.

90-Whoever is on the path of evil, then they will meet a fire. But such is their reward for what theyhave done.

91-Say: I was only commanded to worship Him who created me. His Sanctuary is all places and allthings belong to Him. I was commanded to be in peace and tranquility.

92-I was commanded to study the book of the universe. Whoever finds the way to the truth after this,then he has found the way for himself. Whoever abandons the truths and strays from his ownunderstanding, then say: I am only a warner, inviting to the truths.

93-Explain: Allah is the Owner of all attributes. You study His verses, so you will become wise ofHim. But those who are heedless about what they do will not understand the One who created them.
