سُورَةُ صٓ

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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].

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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.

English — Saheeh International

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."

English — Saheeh International

[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].

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

[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.

English — Saheeh International

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.

English — Saheeh International

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?

English — Saheeh International

[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.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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]."

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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."

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And others bound together in shackles.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

[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].

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Say, "It is great news

English — Saheeh International

From which you turn away.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

[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?"

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Until the Day of the time well-known."

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

It is but a reminder to the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

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