SURAH
SAD
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. By this renowned Quran.
2. Rather the infidels are in pride and schism.
3. How many a generation We destroyed before them, then
now they cried when there was no time for deliverance.
4. And they were surprised that a warner from among themselves
came to them, and the infidels said, 'this is a magician, a
great liar'.
5. Has he made one God of many gods? Undoubtedly, this is
a strange thing.
6. And the chiefs of them departed saying, 'go away from
him and be steadfast to your gods; undoubtedly, he has some
object in this.
7. We have not heard about this even in the latest religion
of Christianity. This is indeed wholly a new invention.
8. Has the Quran been sent upon him from amongst us all?
Nay, rather they are in doubt concerning My Book. Nay, they
have not yet tasted My chastisement.
9. Are they treasurers of the mercy of your Lord, the Dignified,
and the Bestower?
10. Is the kingdom of the heavens and earth and what is
between them for them? If so let them ascend by hanging ropes.
11. This is a disgraced host from amongst the confederates,
which shall be made to flee to the same place.
12. Before them, the people of Nuh and Aad and pharaoh (Firawn)
the contriver of stakes have already belied (the Messengers).
13. And Samud and the people of Lut and dwellers of the
wood. These are those parties.
14. There is none among them but belied the Messengers,
so My torment became inevitable.
15. They wait not but of a single roaring cry which no one
can turn away.
16. And they said, 'O our Lord, hasten to us our shares
before the Day of Reckoning.
17. Bear you patiently at what they say, and remember Our
bondman Daud a man of blessings; undoubtedly, he is a great
penitent.
18. Undoubtedly, We have subjected mountains, that they
with him glorify Allah at evening and sunrise
19. And the birds assembled; all were obedient to him.
20. And We strengthened his kingdom and bestowed him wisdom
and decisive speech.
21. Has the tidings of the claimants reached to you when
they came into Daud's mosque jumping over the walls?
22. When they entered upon Daud, he became confused on account
of them. They said, 'fear not, we are two disputants, one has
shown high handedness against the other, therefore decide between
us with truth and be not unjust and guide us to the right path.
23. Undoubtedly, this is my brother, he has ninety-nine
ewes and I have one ewe, now he says entrust this one also to
me and presses me in speech.
24. Daud said, 'undoubtedly, he is doing injustice in demanding
your ewe to add to his ewes. And certainly, many of the partners
show high handedness against each other, but those who believe
and do good, and they are very few. Now Daud guessed that We
had tested him, therefore, he begged forgiveness of his Lord
and fell in prostration and turned (to Allah). [^] (SAJDA) 10.
25. Then We forgave him that. And verily he has necessarily
nearness to Us and an excellent resort.
26. 'O Daud', Undoubtedly, We have made you a vicegerent
in the earth, therefore order between mankind with truth, and
follow not desire, otherwise it would cause you to go astray
from the path of Allah. Verily, those who go astray from the
path of Allah, there is for them a severe torment for that they
have forgotten the Day of Reckoning.
27. And We have not made the heavens and the earth and what
is in between them in vain. This is the thought of the infidels.
There fore woe is to the infidels because of the Fire.
28. Shall We make those who have believed and have done
good deeds like those who spread mischief in the earth or make
the pious ones like wicked disobedients?
29. This is a Book that We have sent down towards you Blessed,
so that they may ponder on its signs and that the men of wisdom
may be admonished.
30. And We bestowed on Daud, Sulaiman. What a fine bondman!
Verily, he was most repenting.
31. When, in the after-noon were presented to him, horses
when at ease standing on three feet and touching the ground
with the tow of fourth foot, and when they run, they are very
swift.
32. Then he said, 'I have loved the love of these horses
for the remembrance of my Lord'. Then he ordered to drive them
until they were hidden from his sight behind the veil.
33. Then he ordered that bring them back to me. Then he
began to pass his hand over their shanks and necks.
34. And undoubtedly, We tested Sulaiman and placed on his
throne a lifeless body, then he turned repented.
35. He said, 'O my Lord' for give me, and bestow me a Kingdom
which may not suit to anyone else after me. Undoubtedly, You
are the Big Bestower.
36. Then We subjected the wind to him that it ran by his
commandment softly, wherever he desired.
37. And subjected to him the giants (Satan), every builder
and diver.
38. And others bound in fetters.
39. This is Our gift, now you do favour upon whom you like
or withhold there is no reckoning upon you.
40. And undoubtedly, he has necessarily nearness to Us and
an excellent resort.
41. And remember Our bondman Ayub. He called his Lord that
the devil (Satan) has touched me with affliction and oppression.
42. We said, 'strike your foot with the ground, here is
the cool, stream for bathing and for drinking.'
43. And We bestowed him his family and others like them
in addition to them as a mercy from Us and as admonition to
the people of understanding.
44. And We said, 'take in your hand a broom of dry grass
and strike there with and break not your oath. Undoubtedly,
We found him steadfast, What an excellent bondman was he? Verily
he is of returning.
45. And remember Our bondmen Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Yaqoob
the men of authority and knowledge.
46. Verily, We distinguished them with a distinct speech
that is the remembrance of that abode (Hereafter)
47. And undoubtedly, they are in Our sight chosen and favorites.
48. And remember Ismail, Al-Yasa, and Zulkifl. They are
all excellent ones.
49. This is an admonition. And undoubtedly, the resort of
pious ones is good.'
50. Gardens of perpetual abode, the doors of which are open
for them.
51. Reclining therein on cushions, therein they ask for
plenty of fruits and drink.
52. And they have such wives with them that they look not
towards others save their husbands, Companions of equal age.
53. This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning.
54. Undoubtedly, this is Our provision which will never
be exhausted.
55. This is for them (believers). But undoubtedly, for the
contumacious is the evil resort.
56. Hell, that they shall enter it what is an evil couch.
57. This is for them, therefore let them taste it, boiling
water and pus.
58. And other couples of torments of the same nature.
59. They will be told, 'this is a troop of yours rushing
in along with you'. They will say, let them not get any open
place'. They are indeed to enter the Fire, let them remain there
too in a strained place.'
60. The followers said, 'nay! Rather you should not get
an open place'. You brought this distress to us'. Therefore
what an evil destination it is
61. They said, 'O our Lord, whoso brought this distress
to us, increase him in torment two fold in the Fire.
62. They said, 'what has happened to us that we see not
the men whom we used to count among evil ones'.
63. Did we treat them in ridicule or our eyes are turned
away from them?
64. Undoubtedly, it is necessarily a truth, the disputing
together of the people of the Fire.
65. Say you, 'I am only a warner, and there is no god but
Allah, the One All Dominant'.
66. 'The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever
is in between, the Dignified, the Great Forgiver'.
67. Say you, 'that is a supreme news'.
68. You are negligent of it.
69. What knowledge I had about heavenly world, when they
disputed.
70. I am only revealed that I am not but a manifest warner.
71. When your Lord said to the angels, I shall make man
from the clay.
72. And so when I have fashioned him perfectly, and have
breathed into him of My spirit, then fall you down prostrating
for him.
73. There fore angles fell down prostrate, all of them together.
74. But Iblis He waxed proud, he was among the infidels.
75. Allah said, O lblis', 'what hindered you from falling
prostrate before that which I made with My own hands? Have you
been proud or you were indeed among haughty ones?
76. He said, 'I am better than him, You have made me of
fire and created him of clay'.
77. Allah said, 'get you out from the heaven, for you are
rejected'.
78. And undoubtedly, My curse is on you till the Day of
Judgement.
79. He said, 'O my Lord, if it is so then grant me respite
till the day when they are raised'.
80. Allah said, 'certainly, you are of those that are granted
respite'.
81. 'Till the day of the known time'.
82. He said, 'By Your Dignity I shall necessarily, beguile
them all'.
83. 'But those among them who are Your chosen bondmen'.
84. Allah said, 'then the truth is this, and I speak the
truth.
85. Undoubtedly, I shall necessarily fill Hell with you
of those who will follow you all together.
86. Say you, 'I ask of you no wage for this Quran nor I
am of those who affect.
87. That is not but an admonition to the entire world.
88. And you shall surely know its news after a time.
