The Majestic Quran

30 We granted David a son , Solomon. What an excellent servant! Truly devout. 31 One evening, when the pure-bred horses were paraded before Solomon , 32 he said, “my love of fine things increased my Lord’s remembrance. He watched them till they disappeared out of sight. 33 Bring the horses back to me.” He patted their legs and necks. 34 We tested Solomon with an illness, so he became thin as a skeleton sat on his throne, then turned devoutly to Us . 24 35 He said, “My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingdom the like of which no one after me will ever see. Only You are the Giver.” 36 So We made the winds compliant to him, blowing gently at his command wherever he wanted them to go ; 37 and demons from the jinn , their builders, divers; 38 and others bound in chains. 39 God said : “This is Our gift for you to give it to others or withhold it as you like.” 40 Solomon will enjoy closeness to Us in the most beautiful of homecomings. J ’ 41 Mention Our servant, Job, he cried out to his Lord: “Satan has wreaked sorrow and torment on me.” 42 God said : “Stamp your foot on the ground . This is a cool place to wash and drink.” 43 We treated him kindly and cured him, so We gave him his family back and an equal number of others with them, as a reminder for those gifted with understanding. 44 God told him : “Take a handful of grass and strike your wife with it so you don’t break your oath. ” 25 We found him to be patient. What a wonderful servant! So devout. G 45 And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; they were strong men with insight. 46 We chose them for the special task of reminding others of the Abode of the Hereafter . 47 In Our Sight, they are the best of the chosen ones. 48 And mention Ishmael, Elisha and Ezekiel; they were the chosen ones. 49 This is a brief reminder; and for those mindful of God , there will be a beautiful homecoming, 50 the Gardens of Eden with open gates waiting for them; 51 and reclining there on sofas , asking for fruits of all kind and for drinks, 52 and beside them spouses modest in their glances and of equal age. 53 This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning. 54 This provision of Ours will not end.
