Dua Qunut 30th Night Ramadan '06 - Sheikh Salah Al Budair-

Chapter 95: Surah At Tin & Chapter 107: Surah Al Maun -Sheikh Salah Budair

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
95:1 I swear by the fig and the olive,
95:2 And mount Sinai,
95:3 And this city made secure,
95:4 Certainly We created man in the best make.
95:5 Then We render him the lowest of the low.
95:6 Except those who believe and do good, so they shall have a reward never to be cut off.
95:7 Then who can give you the lie after (this) about the judgment?
95:8 Is not Allah the best of the Judges?

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
107:1 Have you considered him who calls the judgment a lie?
107:2 That is the one who treats the orphan with harshness,
107:3 And does not urge (others) to feed the poor.
107:4 So woe to the praying ones,
107:5 Who are unmindful of their prayers,
107:6 Who do (good) to be seen,
107:7 And withhold the necessaries of life.

Chapter 27: Surah An Naml (The Ants) - Sheikh Salah Al Budair

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
27:1 Ta Sin! These are the verses of the Quran and the Book that makes (things) clear
27:2 A guidance and good news for the believers,
27:3 Who keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and of the hereafter, they are sure.
27:4 As to those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have surely made their deeds fair-seeming to them, but they blindly wander on.
27:5 These are they who shall have an evil punishment, and in the hereafter they shall be the greatest losers.
27:6 And most surely you are made to receive the Quran from the Wise, the Knowing God.
27:7 When Musa said to his family: Surely I see fire; I will bring to you from it some news, or I will bring to you therefrom a burning firebrand so that you may warm yourselves.
27:8 So when he came to it a voice was uttered saying: Blessed is Whoever is in the fire and whatever is about it; and glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds;
27:9 O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Mighty, the Wise;
27:10 And cast down your staff. So when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating and did not return: O Musa! fear not; surely the apostles shall not fear in My presence;
27:11 Neither he who has been unjust, then he does good instead after evil, for surely I am the Forgiving, the Merciful:
27:12 And enter your hand into the opening of your bosom, it shall come forth white without evil; among nine signs to Firon and his people, surely they are a transgressing people.
27:13 So when Our clear signs came to them, they said: This is clear enchantment.
27:14 And they denied them unjustly and proudly while their soul had been convinced of them; consider, then how was the end of the mischief-makers.
27:15 And certainly We gave knowledge to Dawood and Sulaiman, and they both said: Praise be to Allah, Who has made us to excel many of His believing servants.
27:16 And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir, and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
27:17 And his hosts of the jinn and the men and the birds were gathered to him, and they were formed into groups.
27:18 Until when they came to the valley of the Naml, a Namlite said: O Naml! enter your houses, (that) Sulaiman and his hosts may not crush you while they do not know.
27:19 So he smiled, wondering at her word, and said: My Lord! grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I should do good such as Thou art pleased with, and make me enter, by Thy mercy, into Thy servants, the good ones.
27:20 And he reviewed the birds, then said: How is it I see not the hoopoe or is it that he is of the absentees?
27:21 I will most certainly punish him with a severe punishment, or kill him, or he shall bring to me a clear plea.
27:22 And he tarried not long, then said: I comprehend that which you do not comprehend and I have brought to you a sure information from Sheba.
27:23 Surely I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given abundance and she has a mighty throne:
27:24 I found her and her people adoring the sun instead of Allah, and the Shaitan has made their deeds fair-seeming to them and thus turned them from the way, so they do not go aright
27:25 That they do not make obeisance to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows what you hide and what you make manifest:
27:26 Allah, there is no god but He: He is the Lord of mighty power.
27:27 He said: We will see whether you have told the truth or whether you are of the liars:
27:28 Take this my letter and hand it over to them, then turn away from them and see what (answer) they return.
27:29 She said: O chief! surely an honorable letter has been delivered to me
27:30 Surely it is from Sulaiman, and surely it is in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;
27:31 Saying: exalt not yourselves against me and come to me in submission.
27:32 She said: O chiefs! give me advice respecting my affair: I never decide an affair until you are in my presence.
27:33 They said: We are possessors of strength and possessors of mighty prowess, and the command is yours, therefore see what you will command.
27:34 She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruin it and make the noblest of its people to be low, and thus they (always) do;
27:35 And surely I am going to send a present to them, and shall wait to see what (answer) do the messengers bring back.
27:36 So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will you help me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because of your present;
27:37 Go back to them, so we will most certainly come to them with hosts which they shall have no power to oppose, and we will most certainly expel them therefrom in abasement, and they shall be in a state of ignominy.
27:38 He said: O chiefs! which of you can bring to me her throne before they come to me in submission?
27:39 One audacious among the jinn said: I will bring it to you before you rise up from your place; and most surely I am strong (and) trusty for it.
27:40 One who had the knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye. Then when he saw it settled beside him, he said: This is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful; and whoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is Self-sufficient, Honored.
27:41 He said: Alter her throne for her, we will see whether she follows the right way or is of those who do not go aright.
27:42 So when she came, it was said: Is your throne like this? She said: It is as it were the same, and we were given the knowledge before it, and we were submissive.
27:43 And what she worshipped besides Allah prevented her, surely she was of an unbelieving people.
27:44 It was said to her: Enter the palace; but when she saw it she deemed it to be a great expanse of water, and bared her legs. He said: Surely it is a palace made smooth with glass. She said: My Lord! surely I have been unjust to myself, and I submit with Sulaiman to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
27:45 And certainly We sent to Samood their brother Salih, saying: Serve Allah; and lo! they became two sects quarrelling with each other.
27:46 He said: O my people! why do you seek to hasten on the evil before the good? Why do you not ask forgiveness of Allah so that you may be dealt with mercifully?
27:47 They said: We have met with ill luck on account of you and on account of those with you. He said: The cause of your evil fortune is with Allah; nay, you are a people who are tried.
27:48 And there were in the city nine persons who made mischief in the land and did not act aright.
27:49 They said: Swear to each other by Allah that we will certainly make a sudden attack on him and his family by night, then we will say to his heir: We did not witness the destruction of his family, and we are most surely truthful.
27:50 And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan while they perceived not.
27:51 See, then, how was the end of their plan that We destroyed them and their people, all (of them).
27:52 So those are their houses fallen down because they were unjust, most surely there is a sign in this for a people who know.
27:53 .And We delivered those who believed and who guarded (against evil).
27:54 And (We sent) Lut, when he said to his people: What! do you commit indecency while you see?
27:55 What! do you indeed approach men lustfully rather than women? Nay, you are a people who act ignorantly.
27:56 But the answer of his people was no other except that they ~s said: Turn out Lut's followers from your town; surely they are a people who would keep pure!
27:57 But We delivered him and his followers except his wife; We ordained her to be of those who remained behind.
27:58 And We rained on them a rain, and evil was the rain of those who had been warned.
27:59 Say: Praise be to Allah and peace on His servants whom He has chosen: is Allah better, or what they associate (with Him)?
27:60 Nay, He Who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down for you water from the cloud; then We cause to grow thereby beautiful gardens; it is not possible for you that you should make the trees thereof to grow. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! they are people who deviate.
27:61 Or, Who made the earth a restingplace, and made in it rivers, and raised on it mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! most of them do not know!
27:62 Or, Who answers the distressed one when he calls upon Him and removes the evil, and He will make you successors in the earth. Is there a god with Allah? Little is it that you mind!
27:63 Or, Who guides you in utter darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy. Is there a god with Allah? Exalted by Allah above what they associate (with Him).
27:64 Or, Who originates the creation, then reproduces it and Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth. Is there a god With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.
27:65 Say: No one in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen but Allah; and they do not know when they shall be raised.
27:66 Nay, their knowledge respecting the hereafter is slight and hasty; nay, they are in doubt about it; nay, they are quite blind to
27:67 And those who disbelieve say: What! when we have become dust and our fathers (too), shall we certainly be brought forth?
27:68 We have certainly been promised this, we and our fathers before; these are naught but stories of the ancients
27:69 Say: Travel in the earth, then see how was the end of the guilty.
27:70 And grieve not for them and be not distressed because of what they plan.
27:71 And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if you are truthful?
27:72 Say: Maybe there may have drawn near to you somewhat of that which you seek to hasten on.
27:73 And surely your Lord is the Lord of grace to men, but most of them are not grateful.
27:74 And most surely your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they manifest.
27:75 And there is nothing concealed in the heaven and the earth but it is in a clear book.
27:76 Surely this Quran declares to the children of Israel most of what they differ in.
27:77 And most surely it is a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
27:78 Surely your Lord will judge between them by his judgment, and He is the Mighty, the knowing.
27:79 Therefore rely on Allah; surely you are on the clear truth.
27:80 Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating.
27:81 Nor can you be a guide to the blind out of their error; you cannot make to bear (any one) except those who believe in Our communications, so they submit.
27:82 And when the word shall come to pass against them, We shall bring forth for them a creature from the earth that shall i wound them, because people did not believe in Our communications.
27:83 And on the day when We will gather from every nation a party from among those who rejected Our communications, then they shall be formed into groups.
27:84 Until when they come, He will say: Did you reject My communications while you had no comprehensive knowledge of them? Or what was it that you did?
27:85 And the word shall come to pass against them because they were unjust, so they shall not speak.
27:86 Do they not consider that We have made the night that. they may rest therein, and the day to give light? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.
27:87 And on the day when the trumpet shall be blown, then those who are in the heavens and those who are in the earth shall be terrified except such as Allah please, and all shall come to him abased.
27:88 And you see the mountains, you think them to be solid, and they shall pass away as the passing away of the cloud-- the handiwork of Allah Who has made every thing thoroughly; surely He is Aware of what you do.
27:89 Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it; and they shall be secure from terror on the day.
27:90 And whoever brings evil, these shall be thrown down on their faces into the fire; shall you be rewarded (for) aught except what you did?
27:91 I am commanded only that I should serve the Lord of this city, Who has made it sacred, and His are all things; and I am commanded that I should be of these who submit;
27:92 And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ' astray, then say: I am only one of the warners.
27:93 And say: Praise be to Allah, He will show you His signs so that you shall recognize them; nor is your Lord heedless of what you do.

Chapter 40: Surah Al Mukmin / Ghafir - Sheikh Salah Al Budair

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
40:1 Ha Mim
40:2 The revelation of this Book is from God, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge,-
40:3 Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal.
40:4 None can dispute about the Signs of God but the Unbelievers. Let not, then, their strutting about through the land deceive thee!
40:5 But (there were people) before them, who denied (the Signs),- the People of Noah, and the Confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet, to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth; but it was I that seized them! and how (terrible) was My Requital!
40:6 Thus was the Decree of thy Lord proved true against the Unbelievers; that truly they are Companions of the Fire!
40:7 Those who sustain the Throne (of God) and those around it Sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy Reach is over all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn in Repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire!
40:8 "And grant, our Lord! that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.
40:9 "And preserve them from (all) ills; and any whom Thou dost preserve from ills that Day,- on them wilt Thou have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly (for them) the highest Achievement".
40:10 The Unbelievers will be addressed: "Greater was the aversion of God to you than (is) your aversion to yourselves, seeing that ye were called to the Faith and ye used to refuse."
40:11 They will say: "Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! Now have we recognised our sins: Is there any way out (of this)?"
40:12 (The answer will be:) "This is because, when God was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with God, Most High, Most Great!"
40:13 He it is Who showeth you his Signs, and sendeth down sustenance for you from the sky: but only those receive admonition who turn (to God).
40:14 Call ye, then, upon God with sincere devotion to Him, even though the Unbelievers may detest it.
40:15 Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the Spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,-
40:16 The Day whereon they will (all) come forth: not a single thing concerning them is hidden from God. Whose will be the dominion that Day?" That of God, the One the Irresistible!
40:17 That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for God is Swift in taking account.
40:18 Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near, when the hearts will (come) right up to the throats to choke (them); No intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrong-doers have, who could be listened to.
40:19 (God) knows of (the tricks) that deceive with the eyes, and all that the hearts (of men) conceal.
40:20 And God will judge with (justice and) Truth: but those whom (men) invoke besides Him, will not (be in a position) to judge at all. Verily it is God (alone) Who hears and sees (all things).
40:21 Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were even superior to them in strength, and in the traces (they have left) in the land: but God did call them to account for their sins, and none had they to defend them against God.
40:22 That was because there came to them their apostles with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So God called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment.
40:23 Of old We sent Moses, with Our Signs and an authority manifest,
40:24 To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun; but they called (him)" a sorcerer telling lies!"...
40:25 Now, when he came to them in Truth, from Us, they said, "Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and keep alive their females," but the plots of Unbelievers (end) in nothing but errors (and delusions)!...
40:26 Said Pharaoh: "Leave me to slay Moses; and let him call on his Lord! What I fear is lest he should change your religion, or lest he should cause mischief to appear in the land!"
40:27 Moses said: "I have indeed called upon my Lord and your Lord (for protection) from every arrogant one who believes not in the Day of Account!"
40:28 A believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh, who had concealed his faith, said: "Will ye slay a man because he says, 'My Lord is God'?- when he has indeed come to you with Clear (Signs) from your Lord? and if he be a liar, on him is (the sin of) his lie: but, if he is telling the Truth, then will fall on you something of the (calamity) of which he warns you: Truly God guides not one who transgresses and lies!
40:29 "O my People! Yours is the dominion this day: Ye have the upper hand in the land: but who will help us from the Punishment of God, should it befall us?" Pharaoh said: "I but point out to you that which I see (myself); Nor do I guide you but to the Path of Right!"
40:30 Then said the man who believed: "O my people! Truly I do fear for you something like the Day (of disaster) of the Confederates (in sin)!-
40:31 "Something like the fate of the People of Noah, the 'Ad, and the Thamud, and those who came after them: but God never wishes injustice to his Servants.
40:32 "And O my people! I fear for you a Day when there will be Mutual calling (and wailing),-
40:33 "A Day when ye shall turn your backs and flee: No defender shall ye have from God: Any whom God leaves to stray, there is none to guide...
40:34 "And to you there came Joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for which he had come: At length, when he died, ye said: 'No apostle will God send after him.' thus doth God leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt,-
40:35 "(Such) as dispute about the Signs of God, without any authority that hath reached them, grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of God and of the Believers. Thus doth God, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate Transgressors."
40:36 Pharaoh said: "O Haman! Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain the ways and means-
40:37 "The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the God of Moses: But as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh's eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).
40:38 The man who believed said further: "O my people! Follow me: I will lead you to the Path of Right.
40:39 "O my people! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last.
40:40 "He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof: and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss): Therein will they have abundance without measure.
40:41 "And O my people! How (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the Fire!
40:42 "Ye do call upon me to blaspheme against God, and to join with Him partners of whom I have no knowledge; and I call you to the Exalted in Power, Who forgives again and again!"
40:43 "Without doubt ye do call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this world, or in the Hereafter; our return will be to God; and the Transgressors will be Companions of the Fire!
40:44 "Soon will ye remember what I say to you (now), My (own) affair I commit to God: for God (ever) watches over His Servants."
40:45 Then God saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against him), but the burnt of the Penalty encompassed on all sides the People of Pharaoh.
40:46 In front of the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: And (the sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast ye the People of Pharaoh into the severest Penalty!"
40:47 Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant, "We but followed you: Can ye then take (on yourselves) from us some share of the Fire?
40:48 Those who had been arrogant will say: "We are all in this (Fire)! Truly, God has judged between (his) Servants!"
40:49 Those in the Fire will say to the Keepers of Hell: "Pray to your Lord to lighten us the Penalty for a day (at least)!"
40:50 They will say: "Did there not come to you your apostles with Clear Signs?" They will say, "Yes". They will reply, "Then pray (as ye like)! But the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile wandering) in (mazes of) error!"
40:51 We will, without doubt, help our apostles and those who believe, (both) in this world's life and on the Day when the Witnesses will stand forth,-
40:52 The Day when no profit will it be to Wrong-doers to present their excuses, but they will (only) have the Curse and the Home of Misery.
40:53 We did aforetime give Moses the (Book of) Guidance, and We gave the book in inheritance to the Children of Israel,-
40:54 A Guide and a Message to men of Understanding.
40:55 Patiently, then, persevere: for the Promise of God is true: and ask forgiveness for thy fault, and celebrate the Praises of thy Lord in the evening and in the morning.
40:56 Those who dispute about the signs of God without any authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in God: It is He Who hears and sees (all things).
40:57 Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.
40:58 Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: Nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition!
40:59 The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.
40:60 And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell - in humiliation!"
40:61 It is God Who has made the Night for you, that ye may rest therein, and the days as that which helps (you) to see. Verily God is full of Grace and Bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.
40:62 Such is God, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded away from the Truth!
40:63 Thus are deluded those who are wont to reject the Signs of God.
40:64 It is God Who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape- and made your shapes beautiful,- and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good;- such is God your Lord. So Glory to God, the Lord of the Worlds!
40:65 He is the Living (One): There is no god but He: Call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds!
40:66 Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides God,- seeing that the Clear Sings have come to me from my Lord; and I have been commanded to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of the Worlds."
40:67 It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom.
40:68 It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is.
40:69 Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Sings of God? How are they turned away (from Reality)?-
40:70 Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our apostles: but soon shall they know,-
40:71 When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along-
40:72 In the boiling fetid fluid: then in the Fire shall they be burned;
40:73 Then shall it be said to them: "Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part- worship-
40:74 "In derogation of God?" They will reply: "They have left us in the lurch: Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence)." Thus does God leave the Unbelievers to stray.
40:75 "That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.
40:76 "Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein: and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!"
40:77 So persevere in patience; for the Promise of God is true: and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.
40:78 We did aforetime send apostles before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any apostle to bring a sign except by the leave of God: but when the Command of God issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.
40:79 It is God Who made cattle for you, that ye may use some for riding and some for food;
40:80 And there are (other) advantages in them for you (besides); that ye may through them attain to any need (there may be) in your hearts; and on them and on ships ye are carried.
40:81 And He shows you (always) His Signs: then which of the Signs of God will ye deny?
40:82 Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.
40:83 For when their apostles came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in.
40:84 But when they saw Our Punishment, they said: "We believe in God,- the one God - and we reject the partners we used to join with Him."
40:85 But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) God's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of God perish (utterly)!
