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. Allāh has knowledge of everything.  
  2. Dāwūd 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 Allāh.  
  4. The people of Saba were blessed greatly by Allāh, but this changed dramatically when they were ungrateful.  
  5. Allāh is the only one who sustains us.  
  6. The Prophet ﷺ sought no recompense from the people for fulfilling his duty of prophethood.

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

 

قُلِ ٱدۡعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا لَهُمۡ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرۡكٖ وَمَا لَهُۥ مِنۡهُم مِّن ظَهِيرٖ

Transliteration:( Wa maa kaana lahoo 'alaihim min sultaanin illaa lina'lama mai yu minu bil Aakhirati mimman huwa minhaa fee shakk; wa Rabbuka 'alaa kulli shai'in Hafeez (section 2) )

21.And he (Shaitaan) had no authority over them, but it was so that We may show (70) him who believes in the Hereafter and who of them is in doubt (71). And your Lord is Watchful (72) over all things.

وَلَا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِمَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُۥۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمۡ قَالُواْ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمۡۖ قَالُواْ ٱلۡحَقَّۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ

22. Please declare (O Prophet): "Call (73) upon those whom you assert, besides Allah". Neither are they owners (74 )of even an atom's weight in the heavens or in the earth, nor have they any share (75) in either of them and nor is anyone of them a helper (76) to Him.

۞قُلۡ مَن يَرۡزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ وَإِنَّآ أَوۡ إِيَّاكُمۡ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى أَوۡ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ

Transliteration:( Wa laa tanfa'ush shafaa'atu 'indahooo illaa liman azina lah; hattaaa izaa fuzzi'a 'an quloobihim qaaloo maazaa qaala Rabbukum; qaalul haqq, wa Huwal 'Aliyul Kabeer )

23. And no intercession awaits with Him except for him whom He permits, until after giving permission(77) the bewilderment of their hearts is removed, they will ask (78): "What is it that your Lord has said?" They will say: "Only the truth (79)". And He is the Exalted, the Great.

قُل لَّا تُسۡـَٔلُونَ عَمَّآ أَجۡرَمۡنَا وَلَا نُسۡـَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

Transliteration:( Qul mai yarzuqukum minas samaawaati wal ardi qulil laahu wa innaaa aw iyyaakum la'alaa hudan aw fee dalaalim mubeen )

24. Please declare: "Who provides "(81)for you from the heavens and the earth?" Please declare: "Allah!( 82) And surely either we or you are on the right guidance or in clear(83) & error".

قُلۡ يَجۡمَعُ بَيۡنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفۡتَحُ بَيۡنَنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُوَ ٱلۡفَتَّاحُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

25. Please declare: "You will not be asked about our crimes (84) nor shall we be questioned (85) about your deeds".

قُلۡ أَرُونِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَلۡحَقۡتُم بِهِۦ شُرَكَآءَۖ كَلَّاۚ بَلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

26.Please declare: "Our Lord shall bring us together. Then He will decide (86) between us with truth". And He is the Greatest Judge, All-Knowing (87).

قُلۡ أَرُونِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَلۡحَقۡتُم بِهِۦ شُرَكَآءَۖ كَلَّاۚ بَلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

Transliteration:( Qul arooniyal lazeena alhaqtum bihee shurakaaa'a kallaa; bal Huwal Laahul 'Azeezul Hakeem )

27. Please declare: "Show (88) me those associates that you have joined (89) with Him". By no means can you do it. Nay. He is Allah, the Most Honourable, the Most Wise.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا كَآفَّةٗ لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرٗا وَنَذِيرٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

28. And (O Beloved Prophet) We have not sent (90) you but for the entire (91) mankind, as a bearer of good news and a warner, but most of the people do not know (92).

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Transliteration:( Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa'du in kuntum saadiqeen )

29. Instead they say: "When will this promise be fulfilled, if you truthful? (93).

قُل لَّكُم مِّيعَادُ يَوۡمٖ لَّا تَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ عَنۡهُ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا تَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ

Transliteration:( Qul lakum mee'aadu Yawmil laa tasta'khiroona 'anhu saa'atanw wa laa tastaqdimoon (section 3) )
