English - Chapter 38 - Sad

S', and the Qur'an that contains the remembrance

Indeed, those who have disbelieved are in false pride and defiance

How many a generation have We destroyed before them. And they called out when it was far too late

And they were surprised that a warner has come to them from among themselves. And the rejecters said: "This is a magician, a liar

Has he made the gods into One god? This is indeed a strange thing

And the leaders among them went out: "Walk away, and remain patient to your gods. This thing can be turned back

We never heard of this from the people before us. This is but an innovation

Has the remembrance been sent down to him, from between all of us!" Indeed, they are doubtful of My reminder. Indeed, they have not yet tasted My retribution

Or do they have the treasures of mercy of your Lord, the Noble, the Grantor

Or do they possess the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them? Then let them bring their own solutions

The Confederates that have gathered will be defeated

Disbelieving before them were the people of Noah, 'Aad, and Pharaoh with the planks

And Thamud, and the people of Lot, and the people of the Sycamore; these are the Confederates

Each of them disbelieved the messengers, therefore My retribution came to be

And what these people are waiting for is a single scream, from which they will not recover

And they said: "Our Lord, hasten for us our punishment, before the Day of Reckoning

Be patient to what they say, and recall Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient

We commissioned the mountains to glorify with him, at dusk and dawn

And the birds were gathered; all were obedient to him

And We strengthened his kingship, and We gave him the wisdom and the ability to make sound judgment

Did the news come to you of the disputing party who came over into the temple enclosure

When they entered upon David, he was startled by them. They said: "Have no fear. We are two who have disputed, and one has wronged the other, so judge between us with the truth, and do not wrong us, and guide us to the right path

This is my brother and he owns ninety-nine lambs, while I own one lamb; so he said to me: "'Let me take care of it' and he pressured me

He said: "He has wronged you by asking to combine your lamb with his lambs. And many who mix their properties take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good works, and these are very few." And David guessed that We had tested him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down kneeling, and repented

So We forgave him in this matter. And for him with Us is a near position, and a beautiful abode

O David, We have made you a successor on the earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people with the truth, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from the path of God. Indeed, those who stray off the path of God will have a severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning

And We did not create the heaven and the earth, and everything between them, in vain. Such is the thinking of those who rejected. Therefore, woe to those who have rejected from the Fire

Or shall We treat those who believe and do good works as We treat those who make corruption on the earth? Or shall We treat the righteous as the wicked

A Book that We have sent down to you, that is blessed, so that they may reflect upon its revelations, and so that those who possess intelligence will take heed

And to David We granted Solomon. What an excellent and obedient servant

When, before evening, well trained horses were displayed before him

He said: "I have enjoyed materialism more than I enjoyed the remembrance of my Lord; until it had set beyond the horizon

Send them back." He then rubbed their legs and necks

And We tested Solomon and placed a corpse upon his throne, but he then repented

He said: "My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingship that will never be attained by anyone after me. You are the Grantor

So, We commissioned the wind to run by his command, raining gently where he directed it

And the devils, building and diving

And others, held by restraints

This is Our gift, so you may spend or withhold, without any repercussions

And he has a near position with Us, and a wonderful abode

And recall Our servant Job, when he called upon his Lord: "The devil has afflicted me with an illness and pain

Rapidly move with your foot, here is a cold spring to wash with and to drink

And We restored his family to him along with a group like them, as a mercy from Us; and a reminder for those who possess intelligence

And take in your hand a bundle and go forth with it, and do not break your oath." We found him steadfast. What a good servant! He was obedient

And recall Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They were resourceful, and with vision

We had chosen them to enforce awareness of the Hereafter

And they are with Us of the elite, the best

And recall Ishmael, Elisha, and Isaiah; all are among the best

This is a reminder, and the righteous will have a wonderful abode

Gardens of delight, whose gates will be open for them

Reclining therein, they will be invited to many fruits and drinks

And with them are those with a modest gaze, mature in age

This is what you have been promised for the Day of Reckoning

Such is Our provisions, it does not run out

This is so, and for the transgressors is a miserable destiny

Hell is where they burn. What a miserable abode

This is so, and let them taste what is boiling and dark

And other multitudes that are similar to that

Here is another group to be thrown into Hell with you. "We have no welcome for them, for they shall burn in the Fire

They said: "No, you are the ones without welcome. It was you who presented this to us, what a miserable result

They said: "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us, then double their retribution in the Fire

And they said: "Why do we not see some men whom we used to count among the wicked

Did we mock them erroneously, or have our eyes failed to find them

Surely, this is in truth the feuding of the people of Hell

Say: "I am but a warner; and there is no god besides God, the One, the Supreme

The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; the Noble, the Forgiving

Say: "It is an awesome news

From which you turn away

I had no knowledge of the command up high, that they had quarreled

It is only inspired to me that I am a clear warner

For your Lord said to the angels: "I am creating a human being from clay

So when I have evolved him, and blow of My Spirit in him, then you shall yield to him

The angels yielded, all of them

Except Satan; he turned arrogant, and became one of the rejecters

He said: "O Satan, what prevented you from yielding to what I have created by My hands? Are you too arrogant? Or are you one of those exalted

He said: "I am better than he; You created me from fire, and created him from clay

He said: "Therefore exit from it, you are outcast

And My curse will be upon you until the Day of Recompense

He said: "My Lord, respite me until the Day they are resurrected

He said: "You are respited

Until the appointed Day

He said: "By Your majesty, I will mislead them all

Except for Your servants who are loyal

He said: "The truth, and the truth is what I say

That I will fill Hell with you and all those who follow you

Say: "I do not ask you for any wage, nor am I a fraud

It is but a reminder for the worlds

And you will come to know its news after awhile
