Sad

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Sad. [These letters (Sad, etc.) are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. By the Qur'an full of reminding (explanations and honour for the one who believes in it).

1 Sad. By the Qur'an containing reminder...

1 Suad, I swear by the Quran, full of admonition.

2 Nay, those who disbelieve are in false pride and opposition.

2 But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

2 Nay! those who disbelieve are in self - exaltation and opposition.

3 How many a generation have We destroyed before them! And they cried out when there was no longer time for escape.

3 How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.

3 How many did We destroy before them of the generations, then they cried while the time of escaping had passed away.

4 And they (Arab pagans) wonder that a warner (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has come to them from among themselves. And the disbelievers say: "This (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is a sorcerer, a liar.

4 And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

4 And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say: This is an enchanter, a liar.

5 "Has he made the alihah (gods) (all) into One Ilah (God - Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing!"

5 Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."

5 What! makes he the gods a single Allah? A strange thing is this, to be sure!

6 And the leaders among them went about (saying): "Go on, and remain constant to your alihah (gods)! Verily, this is a thing designed (against you)!

6 And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.

6 And the chief persons of them break forth, saying: Go and steadily adhere to your gods; this is most surely a thing sought after.

7 "We have not heard (the like) of this in the religion of these later days (i.e. Christianity). This is nothing but an invention! [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi]

7 We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication.

7 We never heard of this in the former faith; this is nothing but a forgery:

8 "Has the Reminder been sent down to him (alone) from among us?" Nay, but they are in doubt about My Reminder (this Qur'an)! Nay, but they have not tasted (My) Torment!

8 Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

8 Has the reminder been revealed to him from among us? Nay! they are in doubt as to My reminder. Nay! they have not yet tasted My chastisement!

9 Or have they the treasures of the Mercy of your Lord, the All-Mighty, the Real Bestower?

9 Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?

9 Or is it that they have the treasures of the mercy of your Lord, the Mighty, the great Giver?

10 Or is it that the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them is theirs? If so, let them ascend up with means (to the heavens)!

10 Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access.

10 Or is it that theirs is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend by any

11 (As they denied Allah's Message) they will be a defeated host like the Confederates of the old times (who were defeated).

11 [They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].

11 A host of deserters of the allies shall be here put to flight.

12 Before them (were many who) belied (Messengers) - the people of Nuh (Noah); and 'Ad; and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) the man of stakes (with which he used to punish the people),

12 The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

12 The people of Nuh and Ad, and Firon, the lord of spikes, rejected (apostles) before them.

13 And Thamud, and the people of Lut (Lot), and the Dwellers of the Wood: such were the Confederates.

13 And [the tribe of] Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies.

13 And Samood and the people of Lut and the dwellers of the thicket; these were the parties.

14 Not one of them but belied the Messengers; therefore My Torment was justified,

14 Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.

14 There was none of them but called the apostles liars, so just was My retribution.

15 And these only wait for a single Saihah [shout (i.e. the blowing of the Trumpet by the angel Israfil -)] there will be no pause or ending thereto [till everything will perish except Allah (the only God full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour)].

15 And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.

15 Nor do these await aught but a single cry, there being no delay in it.

16 They say: "Our Lord! Hasten to us Qittana (i.e. our Record of good and bad deeds so that we may see it) before the Day of Reckoning!"

16 And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account"

16 And they say: O our Lord! hasten on to us our portion before the day of reckoning.

17 Be patient (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of what they say, and remember Our slave Dawud (David), endued with power. Verily, he was ever oft-returning in all matters and in repentance (toward Allah).

17 Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah].

17 Bear patiently what they say, and remember Our servant Dawood, the possessor of power; surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).

18 Verily, We made the mountains to glorify Our Praises with him [Dawud (David)] in the 'Ashi (i.e. after the mid-day till sunset) and Ishraq (i.e. after the sunrise till mid-day).

18 Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise.

18 Surely We made the mountains to sing the glory (of Allah) in unison with him at the evening and the sunrise,

19 And (so did) the birds assembled: all obedient to him [Dawud (David)] [i.e. they came and glorified Allah's Praises along with him]. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi ).

19 And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises].

19 And the birds gathered together; all joined in singing with him.

20 We made his kingdom strong and gave him Al-Hikmah (Prophethood) and sound judgement in speech and decision.

20 And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech.

20 And We strengthened his kingdom and We gave him wisdom and a clear judgment.

21 And has the news of the litigants reached you? When they climbed over the wall into (his) Mihrab (a praying place or a private room);

21 And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber -

21 And has there come to you the story of the litigants, when they made an entry into the private chamber by ascending over the walls?

22 When they entered in upon Dawud (David), he was terrified of them. They said: "Fear not! (We are) two litigants, one of whom has wronged the other, therefore judge between us with truth, and treat us not with injustice, and guide us to the Right Way.

22 When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path.

22 When they entered in upon Dawood and he was frightened at them, they said: Fear not; two litigants, of whom one has acted wrongfully towards the other, therefore decide between us with justice, and do not act unjustly, and guide us to the right way.

23 Verily, this my brother (in religion) has ninety-nine ewes, while I have (only) one ewe, and he says: "Hand it over to me, and he overpowered me in speech."

23 Indeed this, my brother, has ninety - nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech."

23 Surely this is my brother; he has ninety - nine ewes and I have a single ewe; but he said: Make it over to me, and he has prevailed against me in discourse.

24 [Dawud (David)] said (immediately without listening to the opponent): "He has wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And, verily, many partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are few." And Dawud (David) guessed that We have tried him and he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allah) in repentance.

24 [David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah].

24 He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act wrongfully towards one another, save those who believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawood was sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protection of his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned time after time (to Him).

25 So We forgave him that, and verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good place of (final) return (Paradise).

25 So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

25 Therefore We rectified for him this, and most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.

26 O Dawud (David)! Verily! We have placed you as a successor on the earth; so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire - for it will mislead you from the Path of Allah. Verily, those who wander astray from the Path of Allah (shall) have a severe torment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.

26 [We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

26 o Dawood! surely We have made you a ruler in the land; so judge between men with justice and do not follow desire, lest it should lead you astray from the path of Allah; (as for) those who go astray from the path of Allah, they shall surely have a severe punishment because they forgot the day of reckoning.

27 And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Islamic Monotheism) from the Fire!

27 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

27 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them in vain; that is the opinion of those who disbelieve then woe to those who disbelieve on account of the fire.

28 Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds as Mufsidun (those who associate partners in worship with Allah and commit crimes) on earth? Or shall We treat the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) as the Fujjar (criminals, disbelievers, the wicked)?

28 Or should we treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked?

28 Shall We treat those who believe and do good like the mischief - makers in the earth? Or shall We make those who guard (against evil) like the wicked?

29 (This is) a Book (the Qur'an) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.

29 [This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

29 (It is) a Book We have revealed to you abounding in good that they may ponder over its verses, and that those endowed with understanding may be mindful.

30 And to Dawud (David) We gave Sulaiman (Solomon). How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)!

30 And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah].

30 And We gave to Dawood Sulaiman, most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).

31 When there were displayed before him, in the afternoon, well trained horses of the highest breed [for Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause)].

31 [Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses.

31 When there were brought to him in the evening (horses) still when standing, swift when running - -

32 He said: "I did love the good (these horses) instead of remembering my Lord (in my 'Asr prayer)" till the time was over, and (the sun) had hidden in the veil (of night).

32 And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until the sun disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."

32 Then he said: Surely I preferred the good things to the remembrance of my Lord - - until the sun set and time for Asr prayer was over, (he said):

33 Then he said "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).

33 [He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking [their] legs and necks.

33 Bring them back to me; so he began to slash (their) legs and necks.

34 And indeed, We did try Sulaiman (Solomon) and We placed on his throne Jasad (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) and he did return (to Allah with obedience and in repentance, and to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah).

34 And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned.

34 And certainly We tried Sulaiman, and We put on his throne a (mere) body, so he turned (to Allah).

35 He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me: Verily, You are the Bestower."

35 He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower."

35 He said: My Lord! do Thou forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not fit for (being inherited by) anyone after me;

36 So, We subjected to him the wind; it blew gently by his order whithersoever he willed,

36 So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed,

36 Then We made the wind subservient to him; it made his command to run gently wherever he desired,

37 And also the Shayatin (devils) from the jinn (including) every kind of builder and diver,

37 And [also] the devils [of jinn] - every builder and diver

37 And the shaitans, every builder and diver,

38 And also others bound in fetters.

38 And others bound together in shackles.

38 And others fettered in chains.

39 [Allah said to Sulaiman (Solomon)]: "This is Our gift: so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked (of you)."

39 [We said], "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."

39 This is Our free gift, therefore give freely or withhold, without reckoning.

40 And verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good (final) return (Paradise).

40 And indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

40 And most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.

41 And remember Our slave Ayyub (Job), when he invoked his Lord (saying): "Verily Shaitan (Satan) has touched me with distress (by ruining my health) and torment (by ruining my wealth)!

41 And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."

41 And remember Our servant Ayyub, when he called upon his Lord: The Shaitan has afflicted me with toil and torment.

42 (Allah said to him): "Strike the ground with your foot: This is (a spring of) water to wash in, cool and a (refreshing) drink."

42 [So he was told], "Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for] a cool bath and drink."

42 Urge with your foot; here is a cool washing - place and a drink.

43 And We gave him (back) his family, and along with them the like thereof, as a Mercy from Us, and a Reminder for those who understand.

43 And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding.

43 And We gave him his family and the like of them with them, as a mercy from Us, and as a reminder to those possessed of understanding.

44 "And take in your hand a bundle of thin grass and strike therewith (your wife), and break not your oath. Truly! We found him patient. How excellent a slave! Verily he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)!

44 [We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah].

44 And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with It and do not break your oath; surely We found him patient; most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).

45 And remember Our slaves, Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishaq (Isaac), and Ya'qub (Jacob), (all) owners of strength (in worshipping Us) and (also) of religious understanding.

45 And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision.

45 And remember Our servants Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqoub, men of power and insight.

46 Verily, We did choose them by granting them (a good thing, - i.e.) the remembrance of the Home [in the Hereafter and they used to make the people remember it, and also they used to invite the people to obey Allah and to do good deeds for the Hereafter].

46 Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter].

46 Surely We purified them by a pure quality, the keeping in mind of the (final) abode.

47 And they are with Us, verily, of the chosen and the best!

47 And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.

47 And most surely they were with Us, of the elect, the best.

48 And remember Isma'il (Ishmael), Alyasa' (Elisha), and Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah), all are among the best.

48 And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul - Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.

48 And remember Ismail and Al - Yasha and Zulkifl; and they were all of the best.

49 This is a Reminder. And verily, for the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) is a good final return (Paradise),

49 This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return

49 This is a reminder; and most surely there is an excellent resort for those who guard (against evil),

50 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), whose doors will be opened for them.

50 Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.

50 The gardens of perpetuity, the doors are opened for them.

51 Therein they will recline; therein they will call for fruits in abundance and drinks;

51 Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink.

51 Reclining therein, calling therein for many fruits and drink.

52 And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf [chaste females (wives) restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands)], (and) of equal ages.

52 And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age.

52 And with them shall be those restraining their eyes, equals in age.

53 This it is what you (Al-Muttaqun - the pious - see V.2:2) are promised for the Day of Reckoning!

53 This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.

53 This is what you are promised for the day of reckoning.

54 (It will be said to them)! Verily, this is Our Provision which will never finish.

54 Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.

54 Most surely this is Our sustenance; it shall never come to an end;

55 This is so! And for the Taghun (transgressors, the disobedient to Allah and His Messenger - disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, criminals) will be an evil final return (Fire).

55 This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -

55 This (shall be so); and most surely there is an evil resort for the inordinate ones;

56 Hell! Where they will burn, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!

56 Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place.

56 Hell; they shall enter it, so evil is the resting - place.

57 This is so! Then let them taste it - a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges.

57 This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.

57 This (shall be so); so let them taste it, boiling and intensely cold (drink).

58 And other (torments) of similar kind - all together!

58 And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.

58 And other (punishment) of the same kind - - of various sorts.

59 This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall burn in the Fire!

59 [Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."

59 This is an army plunging in without consideration along with you; no welcome for them, surely they shall enter fire.

60 (The followers of the misleaders will say): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you (misleaders) who brought this upon us (because you misled us in the world), so evil is this place to stay in!"

60 They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."

60 They shall say: Nay! you - - no welcome to you: you did proffer it to us, so evil is the resting - place.

61 They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!"

61 They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."

61 They shall say: Our Lord! whoever prepared it first for us, add Thou to him a double chastisement in the fire.

62 And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones?"

62 And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?

62 And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the vicious?

63 Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?"

63 Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"

63 Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them?

64 Verily, that is the very truth - the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!

64 Indeed, that is truth - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.

64 That most surely is the truth: the contending one with another of the inmates of the fire.

65 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I am only a warner and there is no Ilah (God) except Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) the One, the Irresistible,

65 Say, [O Muhammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allah, the One, the Prevailing.

65 Say: I am only a warner, and there is no god but Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all):

66 "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving."

66 Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."

66 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Mighty, the most Forgiving.

67 Say: "That (this Qur'an) is a great news,

67 Say, "It is great news

67 Say: It is a message of importance,

68 "From which you turn away!

68 From which you turn away.

68 (And) you are turning aside from it:

69 "I had no knowledge of the chiefs (angels) on high when they were disputing and discussing (about the creation of Adam).

69 I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].

69 I had no knowledge of the exalted chiefs when they contended:

70 "Only this has been revealed to me, that I am a plain warner."

70 It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."

70 Naught is revealed to me save that I am a plain warner.

71 (Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Truly I am going to create man from clay".

71 [So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.

71 When your Lord said to the angels; Surely I am going to create a mortal from dust:

72 So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him."

72 So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

72 So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down making obeisance to him.

73 So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them:

73 So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.

73 And the angels did obeisance, all of them,

74 Except Iblis (Satan): he was proud and was one of the disbelievers.

74 Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

74 But not Iblis: he was proud and he was one of the unbelievers.

75 (Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands . Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"

75 [Allah] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

75 He said: O Iblis! what prevented you that you should do obeisance to him whom I created with My two hands? Are you proud or are you of the exalted ones?

76 [Iblis (Satan)] said: "I am better than he. You created me from fire, and You created him from clay."

76 He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

76 He said: I am better than he; Thou hast created me of fire, and him Thou didst create of dust.

77 (Allah) said: "Then get out from here; for verily you are outcast.

77 [Allah] said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled.

77 He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away:

78 "And verily My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense."

78 And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."

78 And surely My curse is on you to the day of judgment.

79 [Iblis (Satan)] said: "My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected."

79 He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

79 He said: My Lord! then respite me to the day that they are raised.

80 (Allah) said: "Verily! You are of those allowed respite."

80 [Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

80 He said: Surely you are of the respited ones,

81 "Till the Day of the time appointed."

81 Until the Day of the time well - known."

81 Till the period of the time made known.

82 [Iblis (Satan)] said: "By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all,

82 [Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all

82 He said: Then by Thy Might I will surely make them live an evil life, all,

83 "Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (i.e. faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism)."

83 Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

83 Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.

84 (Allah) said: "The Truth is - and the Truth I say -

84 [Allah] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say -

84 He said: The truth then is and the truth do I speak:

85 That I will fill Hell with you [Iblis (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together."

85 [That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."

85 That I will most certainly fill hell with you and with those among them who follow you, all.

86 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur'an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifun (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist).

86 Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious

86 Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it; nor am I of those who affect:

87 "It (this Qur'an) is only a Reminder for all the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).

87 It is but a reminder to the worlds.

87 It is nothing but a reminder to the nations;

88 "And you shall certainly know the truth of it after a while".

88 And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."

88 And most certainly you will come to know about it after a time.
