34:15 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Indeed, there was a sign for ˹the tribe of˺ Sheba in their homeland: two orchards—one to the right and the other to the left. ˹They were told:˺ “Eat from the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him. ˹Yours is˺ a good land and a forgiving Lord.”
34:16 2 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran But they turned away. So We sent against them a devastating flood, and replaced their orchards with two others producing bitter fruit, fruitless bushes,1 and a few ˹sparse˺ thorny trees.2
34:17 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran This is how We rewarded them for their ingratitude. Would We ever punish ˹anyone in such a way˺ except the ungrateful?
34:18 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran We had also placed between them and the cities1 We showered with blessings ˹many small˺ towns within sight of one another. And We set moderate travel distances in between, ˹saying,˺ “Travel between them by day and night safely.”
34:19 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran But they said, “Our Lord! Make ˹the distances of˺ our journeys longer,” wronging themselves.1 So We reduced them to ˹cautionary˺ tales, and scattered them utterly. Surely in this are lessons for whoever is steadfast, grateful.
34:20 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Indeed, Iblîs’ assumption about them has come true,1 so they ˹all˺ follow him, except a group of ˹true˺ believers.
34:21 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran He does not have any authority over them, but ˹Our Will is˺ only to distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those who are in doubt about it. And your Lord is a ˹vigilant˺ Keeper over all things.
34:22 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Call upon those you claim ˹to be divine˺ besides Allah. They do not possess ˹even˺ an atom’s weight either in the heavens or the earth, nor do they have any share in ˹governing˺ them. Nor is any of them a helper to Him.”
34:23 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran No intercession will be of any benefit with Him, except by those granted permission by Him. ˹At last,˺ when the dread ˹of Judgment Day˺ is relieved from their hearts ˹because they are permitted to intercede˺, they will ˹excitedly˺ ask ˹the angels˺, “What has your Lord ˹just˺ said?” The angels will reply, “The truth! And He is the Most High, All-Great.”
34:24 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Ask ˹them, O  Prophet˺, “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah! Now, certainly one of our two groups1 is ˹rightly˺ guided; the other is clearly astray.”
34:25 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Say, “You will not be accountable for our misdeeds, nor will we be accountable for your deeds.”
34:26 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Say, “Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge between us with the truth. For He is the All-Knowing Judge.”
34:27 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Say, “Show me those ˹idols˺ you have joined with Him as partners. No! In fact, He ˹alone˺ is Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.”
34:28 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a deliverer of good news and a warner to all of humanity, but most people do not know.
34:29 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran And they ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
34:30 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “A Day has ˹already˺ been appointed for you, which you can neither delay nor advance by a ˹single˺ moment.”
34:31 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran The disbelievers vow, “We will never believe in this Quran, nor in those ˹Scriptures˺ before it.” If only you could see when the wrongdoers will be detained before their Lord, throwing blame at each other! The lowly ˹followers˺ will say to the arrogant ˹leaders˺, “Had it not been for you, we would certainly have been believers.”
34:32 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran The arrogant will respond to the lowly, “Did we ever hinder you from guidance after it came to you? In fact, you were wicked ˹on your own˺.”
34:33 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran The lowly will say to the arrogant, “No! It was your plotting by day and night—when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and to set up equals with Him.” They will ˹all˺ hide ˹their˺ remorse when they see the torment. And We will put shackles around the necks of the disbelievers. Will they be rewarded except for what they used to do?
34:34 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Whenever We sent a warner to a society, its elite would say, “We truly reject what you have been sent with.”
