Surah Saba
Ayah-54, Makkah
34:15
لَقَدۡ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِى مَسۡكَنِهِمۡ ءَايَةٌۖ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍۖ كُلُواۡ مِن رِّزۡقِ رَبِّكُمۡ وَٱشۡكُرُواۡ لَهُۚۥ بَلۡدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ١٥

There was for [the tribe of] Saba' in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], "Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord."
34:16
فَأَعۡرَضُواۡ فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَيۡلَ ٱلۡعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلۡنَٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيۡهِمۡ جَنَّتَيۡنِ ذَوَاتَىۡ أُكُلٍ خَمۡطٍ وَأَثۡلٍ وَشَىۡءٍ مِّن سِدۡرٍ قَلِيلٍ١٦

But they turned away [refusing], so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and We replaced their two [fields of] gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees.
34:17
ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيۡنَٰهُم بِمَا كَفَرُواۡۖ وَهَلۡ نُجَٰزِىٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡكَفُورَ١٧

[By] that We repaid them because they disbelieved. And do We [thus] repay except the ungrateful?
34:18
وَجَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡقُرَى ٱلَّتِى بَٰرَكۡنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَٰهِرَةً وَقَدَّرۡنَا فِيهَا ٱلسَّيۡرَۖ سِيرُواۡ فِيهَا لَيَالِىَ وَأَيَّامًا ءَامِنِينَ١٨

And We placed between them and the cities which We had blessed [many] visible cities. And We determined between them the [distances of] journey, [saying], "Travel between them by night or day in safety."
34:19
فَقَالُواۡ رَبَّنَا بَٰعِدۡ بَيۡنَ أَسۡفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوٓاۡ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقۡنَٰهُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَأَيَٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ١٩
Saheeh International
But [insolently] they said, "Our Lord, lengthen the distance between our journeys," and wronged themselves, so We made them narrations and dispersed them in total dispersion. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.
34:20
وَلَقَدۡ صَدَّقَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ إِبۡلِيسُ ظَنَّهُۥ فَٱتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ٢٠

And Iblees had already confirmed through them his assumption, so they followed him, except for a party of believers.
34:21
وَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنٍ إِلَّا لِنَعۡلَمَ مَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ مِمَّنۡ هُوَ مِنۡهَا فِى شَكٍّۗ وَرَبُّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ حَفِيظٌ٢١
Saheeh International
And he had over them no authority except [it was decreed] that We might make evident who believes in the Hereafter from who is thereof in doubt. And your Lord, over all things, is Guardian.
34:22
قُلِ ٱدۡعُواۡ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا لَهُمۡ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرۡكٍ وَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡهُم مِّن ظَهِيرٍ٢٢

Say, [O Muhammad], "Invoke those you claim [as deities] besides Allah ." They do not possess an atom's weight [of ability] in the heavens or on the earth, and they do not have therein any partnership [with Him], nor is there for Him from among them any assistant.
