The summary of the Surah Saba:

 There were many objections raised by the disbelievers against the Prophet's message of Tawhid, the Hereafter, and his Prophethood in this Surah, mostly in the form of allegations, taunts, and mockery.

Lesson learned from Surah Saba:

  1. Allah's has knowledge of everything.  
  2. D'wÅ«d عليه السلام was blessed with the skill of being able to mould iron. It would miraculously soften for him.  
  3. Very few people are truly grateful to Allah's.  
  4. The people of Saba were blessed greatly by Allah's, but this changed dramatically when they were ungrateful.  
  5. Allah's is the only one who sustains us.  
  6. The Prophet ï·º sought no recompense from the people for fulfilling his duty of prophethood.

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

 

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمۖ بَلۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ ٱلۡجِنَّۖ أَكۡثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤۡمِنُونَ

Transliteration:( Qaaloo Subhaanaka Anta waliyyunaa min doonihim bal kaanoo ya'budoonal jinna aksaruhum bihim mu'minoon )
41.They shall submit: "Glorified be You. You are our Protector, not they". In fact, they used to worship [121]the (devil) jinn, as most (122) of them were believers (123) in them.

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ لَا يَمۡلِكُ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٖ نَّفۡعٗا وَلَا ضَرّٗا وَنَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

Transliteration:( Fal Yawma laa yamliku ba'dukum liba'din naf'anw wa laa darraa; wa naqoolu lil lazeena zalamoo zooqoo 'azaaban Naaril latee kuntum bihaa tukazziboon )
42.So, today [124] none of you shall have power [125] to do good or bad for one another. And We shall say to the oppressors (126): "Taste the punishment of this fire that you had denied".

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ قَالُواْ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا رَجُلٞ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمۡ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡ وَقَالُواْ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفۡكٞ مُّفۡتَرٗىۚ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ

Transliteration:( Wa izaa tutlaa 'alaihim Aayaatunaa baiyinaatin qaaloo maa haazaa illaa rajuluny yureedu ai-yasuddakum 'ammaa kaana ya'budu aabaaa'ukum wa qaaloo maa haazaaa illaaa ifkum muftaraa; wa qaalal lazeena kafaroo lilhaqqi lammaa jaaa'ahum in haazaaa illaa sihrum mubeen )
43.And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them they say: "This is not but a man [127] who desires to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped [128]". And they say: "This is nothing but a lie, which is fabricated (129)". And the infidels say about the truth when it comes to them: "This is nothing but open (130) magic".

وَمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّن كُتُبٖ يَدۡرُسُونَهَاۖ وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَبۡلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرٖ

Transliteration:( Wa maaa aatainaahum min Kutubiny yadrusoonahaa wa maaa arsalnaaa ilaihim qablaka min nazeer )
44. And We neither gave them books, which they studied [131], nor did any warner [132] come to them before you (O Muhammad).

وَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَمَا بَلَغُواْ مِعۡشَارَ مَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَذَّبُواْ رُسُلِيۖ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

Transliteration:( Wa kazzabal lazeena min qablihim wa maa balaghoo mi'shaara maaa aatainaahum fakazzaboo Rusulee; fakaifa kaana nakeer (section 5) )
45. And those before them rejected (the truth) and these had not yet attained one tenth of what We had given(133) them. But they belied My Messengers. Then, how was My disapproval?

۞قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَعِظُكُم بِوَٰحِدَةٍۖ أَن تَقُومُواْ لِلَّهِ مَثۡنَىٰ وَفُرَٰدَىٰ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُواْۚ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُم مِّن جِنَّةٍۚ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ لَّكُم بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٖ

Transliteration:( Qul innamaaa a'izukum biwaahidatin an taqoomoo lillaahi masnaa wa furaadaa summa tatafakkaroo; maa bisaahibikum min jinnah; in huwa illaa nazeerul lakum baina yadai 'azaabin shadeed )
46. Please declare: "I give you warning [134] about one thing that you rise [135] up for Allah's work in twon and city, then reflect (136). There is no insanity in your companion (137) (Muhammad), who is only a warner to you before(138) a severe punishment".

قُلۡ مَا سَأَلۡتُكُم مِّنۡ أَجۡرٖ فَهُوَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٞ

Transliteration:( Qul maa sa-altukum min ajrin fahuwa lakum in ajriya illaa 'alal laahi wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in Shaheed )
47.Please declare: "Let the reward I ask you for it be yours [139]. My reward is only upon Allah [140], and He is witness (141) over everything."

قُلۡ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلۡغُيُوبِ

Transliteration:( Qul inna Rabbee yaqzifu bilhaqq 'Allaamul Ghuyoob )
48.Please declare: "Surely my Lord utters [142] only the truth [143], the Great Knower of the unseen things".

قُلۡ جَآءَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَمَا يُبۡدِئُ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ

Transliteration:( Qul in dalaltu fainnamaaa adillu 'alaa nafsee wa inih-tadaitu fabimaa yoohee ilaiya Rabbee; innahoo Samee'un Qareeb )
50. Please declare: "If I err [145], I err only for myself to my own loss, and if I have been guided, it is on account of what my Lord has revealed [146] to me. Indeed, He is All-Hearing.
