Sad

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

1 Sad waalqurani thee alththikri

2 But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

2 Bali allatheena kafaroo fee AAizzatin washiqaqin

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

3 Kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarnin fanadaw walata heena manasin

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 WaAAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum waqala alkafiroona hatha sahirun kaththabun

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

5 AjaAAala alalihata ilahan wahidan inna hatha lashayon AAujabun

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 Waintalaqa almalao minhum ani imshoo waisbiroo AAala alihatikum inna hatha lashayon yuradu

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

7 Ma samiAAna bihatha fee almillati alakhirati in hatha illa ikhtilaqun

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 Aonzila AAalayhi alththikru min baynina bal hum fee shakkin min thikree bal lamma yathooqoo AAathabi

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

9 Am AAindahum khazainu rahmati rabbika alAAazeezi alwahhabi

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 Am lahum mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma falyartaqoo fee alasbabi

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

11 Jundun ma hunalika mahzoomun mina alahzabi

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

12 Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waAAadun wafirAAawnu thoo alawtadi

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

13 Wathamoodu waqawmu lootin waashabu alaykati olaika alahzabu

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

14 In kullun illa kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa AAiqabi

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

15 Wama yanthuru haolai illa sayhatan wahidatan ma laha min fawaqin

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

16 Waqaloo rabbana AAajjil lana qittana qabla yawmi alhisabi

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 Isbir AAala ma yaqooloona waothkur AAabdana dawooda tha alaydi innahu awwabun

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

18 Inna sakhkharna aljibala maAAahu yusabbihna bialAAashiyyi waalishraqi

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

19 Waalttayra mahshooratan kullun lahu awwabun

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

20 Washadadna mulkahu waataynahu alhikmata wafasla alkhitabi

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

21 Wahal ataka nabao alkhasmi ith tasawwaroo almihraba

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 Ith dakhaloo AAala dawooda fafaziAAa minhum qaloo la takhaf khasmani bagha baAAduna AAala baAAdin faohkum baynana bialhaqqi wala tushtit waihdina ila sawai alssirati

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 Inna hatha akhee lahu tisAAun watisAAoona naAAjatan waliya naAAjatun wahidatun faqala akfilneeha waAAazzanee fee alkhitabi

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 Qala laqad thalamaka bisuali naAAjatika ila niAAajihi wainna katheeran mina alkhulatai layabghee baAAduhum AAala baAAdin illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati waqaleelun ma hum wathanna dawoodu annama fatannahu faistaghfara rabbahu wakharra rakiAAan waanaba

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

25 Faghafarna lahu thalika wainna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maabin

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 Ya dawoodu inna jaAAalnaka khaleefatan fee alardi faohkum bayna alnnasi bialhaqqi wala tattabiAAi alhawa fayudillaka AAan sabeeli Allahi inna allatheena yadilloona AAan sabeeli Allahi lahum AAathabun shadeedun bima nasoo yawma alhisabi

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 Wama khalaqna alssamaa waalarda wama baynahuma batilan thalika thannu allatheena kafaroo fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo mina alnnari

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 Am najAAalu allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati kaalmufsideena fee alardi am najAAalu almuttaqeena kaalfujjari

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 Kitabun anzalnahu ilayka mubarakun liyaddabbaroo ayatihi waliyatathakkara oloo alalbabi

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

30 Wawahabna lidawooda sulaymana niAAma alAAabdu innahu awwabun

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

31 Ith AAurida AAalayhi bialAAashiyyi alssafinatu aljiyadu

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 Faqala innee ahbabtu hubba alkhayri AAan thikri rabbee hatta tawarat bialhijabi

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

33 Ruddooha AAalayya fatafiqa mashan bialssooqi waalaAAnaqi

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

34 Walaqad fatanna sulaymana waalqayna AAala kursiyyihi jasadan thumma anaba

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 Qala rabbi ighfir lee wahab lee mulkan la yanbaghee liahadin min baAAdee innaka anta alwahhabu

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

36 Fasakhkharna lahu alrreeha tajree biamrihi rukhaan haythu asaba

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

37 Waalshshayateena kulla bannain waghawwasin

38 And others bound together in shackles.

38 Waakhareena muqarraneena fee alasfadi

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

39 Hatha AAataona faomnun aw amsik bighayri hisabin

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

40 Wainna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maabin

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

41 Waothkur AAabdana ayyooba ith nada rabbahu annee massaniya alshshaytanu binusbin waAAathabin

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

42 Orkud birijlika hatha mughtasalun baridun washarabun

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 Wawahabna lahu ahlahu wamithlahum maAAahum rahmatan minna wathikra liolee alalbabi

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 Wakhuth biyadika dighthan faidrib bihi wala tahnath inna wajadnahu sabiran niAAma alAAabdu innahu awwabun

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

45 Waothkur AAibadana ibraheema waishaqa wayaAAqooba olee alaydee waalabsari

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

46 Inna akhlasnahum bikhalisatin thikra alddari

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

47 Wainnahum AAindana lamina almustafayna alakhyari

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

48 Waothkur ismaAAeela wailyasaAAa watha alkifli wakullun mina alakhyari

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

49 Hatha thikrun wainna lilmuttaqeena lahusna maabin

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

50 Jannati AAadnin mufattahatan lahumu alabwabu

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

51 Muttakieena feeha yadAAoona feeha bifakihatin katheeratin washarabin

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

52 WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi atrabun

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

53 Hatha ma tooAAadoona liyawmi alhisabi

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

54 Inna hatha larizquna ma lahu min nafadin

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

55 Hatha wainna lilttagheena lasharra maabin

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

56 Jahannama yaslawnaha fabisa almihadu

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

57 Hatha falyathooqoohu hameemun waghassaqun

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

58 Waakharu min shaklihi azwajun

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 Hatha fawjun muqtahimun maAAakum la marhaban bihim innahum saloo alnnari

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

60 Qaloo bal antum la marhaban bikum antum qaddamtumoohu lana fabisa alqararu

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

61 Qaloo rabbana man qaddama lana hatha fazidhu AAathaban diAAfan fee alnnari

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

62 Waqaloo ma lana la nara rijalan kunna naAAudduhum mina alashrari

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

63 Attakhathnahum sikhriyyan am zaghat AAanhumu alabsaru

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

64 Inna thalika lahaqqun takhasumu ahli alnnari

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

65 Qul innama ana munthirun wama min ilahin illa Allahu alwahidu alqahharu

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

66 Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alAAazeezu alghaffaru

67 Say, "It is great news

67 Qul huwa nabaon AAatheemun

68 From which you turn away.

68 Antum AAanhu muAAridoona

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

69 Ma kana liya min AAilmin bialmalai alaAAla ith yakhtasimoona

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

70 In yooha ilayya illa annama ana natheerun mubeenun

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

71 Ith qala rabbuka lilmalaikati innee khaliqun basharan min teenin

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

72 Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena

73 So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.

73 Fasajada almalaikatu kulluhum ajmaAAoona

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

74 Illa ibleesa istakbara wakana mina alkafireena

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 Qala ya ibleesu ma manaAAaka an tasjuda lima khalaqtu biyadayya astakbarta am kunta mina alAAaleena

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

76 Qala ana khayrun minhu khalaqtanee min narin wakhalaqtahu min teenin

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

77 Qala faokhruj minha fainnaka rajeemun

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

78 Wainna AAalayka laAAnatee ila yawmi alddeeni

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

79 Qala rabbi faanthirnee ila yawmi yubAAathoona

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

80 Qala fainnaka mina almunthareena

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

81 Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloomi

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

82 Qala fabiAAizzatika laoghwiyannahum ajmaAAeena

83 Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

83 Illa AAibadaka minhumu almukhlaseena

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

84 Qala faalhaqqu waalhaqqa aqoolu

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

85 Laamlaanna jahannama minka wamimman tabiAAaka minhum ajmaAAeena

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

86 Qul ma asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin wama ana mina almutakallifeena

87 It is but a reminder to the worlds.

87 In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

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

88 WalataAAlamunna nabaahu baAAda heenin
