Muhammad Sarwar rendition of Surah The Letter Sad(Sad)
---
38:1 Sad. I swear by the Quran, which is full of reminders of God, (that you are a Messenger)
38:2 In fact, the unbelievers are the ones who are boastful and quarrelsome
38:3 How many ancient generations did We destroy? (On facing Our torment) they cried out for help, but it was too late for them to escape
38:4 It seems strange to the pagans that a man from their own people should come to them as a Prophet. The unbelievers have said, "He is only a lying magician"
38:5 They say, "Has he condemned all other gods but One? This is certainly strange"
38:6 A group of the pagans walked out of a meeting with the Prophet and told the others, "Let us walk away. Be steadfast in the worship of your gods. This man wants to dominate you
38:7 We have heard nothing like this in the latest religion. This is only his own false invention
38:8 Can it be that he alone has received the Quran?" In fact, they have doubts about My Quran and this is because they have not yet faced (My) torment
38:9 Do they possess the treasures of the mercy of your, (Muhammad's), Lord, the Majestic and Munificent God
38:10 Do they own the heavens and the earth and all that is between them? Let them try on their own to block (the ways of heavens so that Our revelations cannot come to you)
38:11 They are only a small band among the defeated confederate tribes
38:12 The people of Noah, Ad and the dominating Pharaoh had rejected Our revelations
38:13 So also did the people of Thamud, Lot, and the dwellers of the Forest
38:14 Each of them who rejected the Messenger become subject to Our punishment
38:15 They had only to wait for the single inevitable blast
38:16 They scornfully said, "Lord, show us the record of our deeds before the day when everyone must present the account of their deeds."
38:17 (Muhammad), bear patiently what they say and recall Our servant, David, who had strong hands and who was most repentant
38:18 We made the mountains join him in glorifying Us in the evening and in the morning
38:19 We made the birds assemble around him in flocks
38:20 We strengthened his kingdom, giving him wisdom and the power of sound Judgment
38:21 Have you heard the news of the disputing parties who climbed the walls of the prayer roo
38:22 and entered where David was (praying). He was frightened, so they said, "Do not be afraid. We are only two disputing parties of which one of us has transgressed against the other. Judge between us with truth and justice and guide us to the right path"
38:23 One of them said, "This is my brother who has ninety-nine ewes when I have only one. He has demanded me to place that one in his custody; he had the stronger argument"
38:24 David said, "He has certainly been unjust in demanding your ewe from you. Most partners transgress against each other except for the righteously striving believers who are very few." David realized that it was a test from Us so he asked forgiveness from his Lord and knelt down before him in repentance
38:25 We forgave him for this. In Our eyes he certainly has a good position and the best share (of the world to come)
38:26 We told him. "David, We have appointed you as Our deputy on earth so judge among the people with truth. Do not follow (worldly) desires lest you go astray from the way of God. Those who go astray from the way of God will suffer severe torment for forgetting the Day of Reckoning
38:27 We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without purpose, even though this is the belief of the disbelievers. Woe to the disbelievers; they will suffer the torment of fir
38:28 Do We consider the righteously striving believers equal to the evil-doers in the land? Are the pious ones equal to those who openly commit sin
38:29 It is a blessed Book which We have revealed for you so that you will reflect upon its verses and so the people of understanding will take heed
38:30 We granted Solomon to David, a blessed servant of Ours and certainly the most repentant person
38:31 When the noble galloping horses were displayed to him one evening
38:32 he said, "My love of horses for the cause of God has made me continue watching them until sunset, thus making me miss my prayer"
38:33 He said, "Bring them back to me." Then he started to rub their legs and necks
38:34 We tested Solomon by (causing death to his son) and leaving his body on Solomon's chair. Then he turned to Us in repentance
38:35 saying, "Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom that no one after me can have the like. You are All-munificent"
38:36 We made the wind subservient to him, to blow gently wherever he desired at his comman
38:37 and all the devils who built and dived for him
38:38 The rest of the devils were bound in chains
38:39 We told him, "This is Our gift to you so give them away free or keep them as you like"
38:40 In Our eyes he certainly has a high position and the best place to return
38:41 (Muhammad), recall Our servant Job. When he prayed to his Lord saying, "Satan has afflicted me with hardship and torment,"
38:42 (We answered his prayer, healed his sickness, and told him), "Run on your feet. This is cool water (for you) to wash and drink"
38:43 We gave him back his family and doubled their number as a blessing from Us and as a reminder to the people of understanding
38:44 We told him, "Take a handful of straw. Strike your wife with it to fulfill your oath." We found him to be patient. What an excellent servant he was. He was certainly most repenting
38:45 (Muhammad), recall Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, all of whom possessed virtuous hands and clear visions
38:46 We gave them this pure distinction because of their continual remembrance of the Day of Judgment
38:47 In Our eyes they were of the chosen, virtuous people
38:48 Recall Ismael, Elisha, and Dhulkifl (Ezekiel) who were all virtuous people
38:49 Such is their noble story. The pious ones will certainly have the best place to return
38:50 They will enter gardens of Eden with their gates open for them
38:51 They will be resting therein and will be able to ask for many kinds of fruit and drink
38:52 They will have bashful wives of equal age with them
38:53 This is what they had been promised for the Day of Judgment
38:54 Our provision (for you) will never be exhausted
38:55 However, the rebellious ones will have the worst place to return
38:56 They will suffer in hell. What a terrible dwelling
38:57 (They will be told), "This is your recompense
38:58 Taste the scalding water, pus, and other putrid things"
38:59 Their leaders will be told, "This band will also be thrown headlong with you into hell." Their leaders will exclaim, "May condemnation fall upon them! Let them suffer the torment of fire"
38:60 Their followers will say, "In fact, it is you who deserve condemnation. It was you who led us to hell, a terrible dwelling"
38:61 They will continue saying, "Lord, double the torment of fire for those who led us into this
38:62 But why is it that we cannot see men whom we had considered as wicke
38:63 and whom we mocked? Have they been rescued or can our eyes not find them?"
38:64 Such disputes will certainly take place among the dwellers of hell fire
38:65 (Muhammad) say, "I am only a warner. The only Lord is God, the Almighty
38:66 He is the Lord of the heavens, the earth, and all that is between them, the Majestic and All-forgiving"
38:67 Say, "It (facts about the supremacy of God) is the greatest message
38:68 but you have turned away from it
38:69 I have no knowledge of the dispute among the angels (concerning their attitude towards Adam)
38:70 I have only received revelation to give you plain warning
38:71 When your Lord told the angels, "I will create a mortal out of clay
38:72 and when I give it proper shape and blow My spirit into it, bow down in prostration to him,"
38:73 all the angel then prostrated themselve
38:74 except Iblis who puffed himself up with pride and became a disbeliever
38:75 The Lord said, "Iblis, what prevented you from prostrating before what I have created with My own hands? Was it because of your pride or are you truly exalted?"
38:76 He said, "I am better than him. You have created me from fire and him out of clay"
38:77 The Lord said, "Get out of here. You deserve to be stoned
38:78 My condemnation will be with you until the Day of Judgment!"
38:79 He said, "Lord, grant me respite until the Day of Resurrection"
38:80 The Lord said, "You will only be given a respit
38:81 for an appointed time"
38:82 He said, "By Your Glory, I shall seduce all of them (children of Adam)
38:83 except Your sincere servants among them"
38:84 The Lord said, "I swear by the Truth - and I speak the Truth
38:85 that I shall certainly fill hell with you and your followers all together"
38:86 (Muhammad), say, "I do not ask any reward for my preaching to you for I am not a pretender
38:87 It, (the Quran), is nothing but a reminder to you from the Lord of the Universe
38:88 You will certainly know its truthfulness after a certain time
