Saad

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ صٓ ۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِى ٱلذِّكْرِ ﴿1﴾

Saaad; wal-Qur-aani ziz zikr

38:1Suad. By the Quran bearing the Reminder,

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى عِزَّةٍۢ وَشِقَاقٍۢ ﴿2﴾

Balil lazeena kafaroo fee 'izzatilnw wa shiqaaq

38:2the faithless indeed dwell in conceit and defiance.

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍۢ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍۢ ﴿3﴾

Kam ahlaknaa min qablihim min qarnin fanaadaw wa laata heena manaas

38:3How many a generation We have destroyed before them! They cried out [for help], but gone was the time for escape.

وَعَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرٌۭ كَذَّابٌ ﴿4﴾

Wa 'ajibooo an jaaa'a hum munzirum minhum wa qaalal kaafiroona haazaa saahirun kazzaab

38:4They consider it odd that there should come to them a warner from among themselves, and the faithless say, ‘This is a magician, a mendacious liar.’

أَجَعَلَ ٱلْءَالِهَةَ إِلَٰهًۭا وَٰحِدًا ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَىْءٌ عُجَابٌۭ ﴿5﴾

Aja'alal aalihata Ilaahanw Waahidan inna haazaa lashai'un 'ujaab

38:5‘Has he reduced the gods to one god? This is indeed an odd thing!’

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُوا۟ وَٱصْبِرُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَىْءٌۭ يُرَادُ ﴿6﴾

Wantalaqal mala-u minhum anim shoo wasbiroo 'alaaa aalihatikum innna haazaa lashai 'uny yuraad

38:6Their elite go about [urging others]: ‘Go and stand by your gods! This is indeed the desirable thing [to do].

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِى ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَٰقٌ ﴿7﴾

Maa sami'naa bihaazaa fil millatil aakhirati in haazaaa illakh tilaaq

38:7We did not hear of this in the latter-day creed. This is nothing but a fabrication.

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ مِّن ذِكْرِى ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِ ﴿8﴾

'A-unzila 'alaihiz zikru mim baininaa; bal hum fee shakkim min Zikree bal lammaa yazooqoo 'azaab

38:8Has the Reminder been sent down to him out of [all of] us?’ Indeed, they are in doubt concerning My Reminder. Indeed, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْوَهَّابِ ﴿9﴾

Am'indahum khazaaa 'inu rahmati Rabbikal 'Azeezil Wahhab

38:9Do they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord, the All-mighty, the All-munificent?

أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَسْبَٰبِ ﴿10﴾

Am lahum mulkus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa falyartaqoo fil asbaab

38:10Do they own the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them? [If so,] let them ascend [to the higher spheres] by the means [of ascension].

جُندٌۭ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ ﴿11﴾

Jundum maa hunaalika mahzoomum minal Ahzaab

38:11[They are but] a host routed out there of the factions.

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ وَعَادٌۭ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ﴿12﴾

Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Lootinw-wa 'Aadunw wa Fir'awnu zul awtaad

38:12Before them Noah’s people impugned [their apostle] and [so did the people of] ‘Ad, and Pharaoh, the Impaler [of his victims],

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍۢ وَأَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ ﴿13﴾

Wa Samoodu wa qawmu Lootinw wa Ashaabul 'Aykah; ulaaa'ikal Ahzaab

38:13and Thamud, and the people of Lot, and the inhabitants of Aykah: those were the factions.

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ ﴿14﴾

In kullun illaa kazzabar Rusula fahaqqa 'iqaab

38:14There was not any one but such as impugned the apostles; so My retribution became due [against them].

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٍۢ ﴿15﴾

Wa maa yanzuru haaa ulaaa'i illaa saihatanw waahidatam maa lahaa min fawaaq

38:15These [too] do not await but a single Cry, which will not grant [them] any respite.

وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ ﴿16﴾

Wa qaaloo Rabbanaa 'ajjil lanaa qittanaa qabla Yawmil Hisaab

38:16They say, ‘Our Lord! Hasten on for us our share before the Day of Reckoning.’

ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ﴿17﴾

Isbir 'alaa maa yaqooloona wazkur 'abdanaa Daawooda zal aidi aidi innahooo awwaab

38:17Be patient over what they say, and remember Our servant, David, [the man] of strength. Indeed he was a penitent [soul].

إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ ﴿18﴾

Innaa sakhkharnal jibaala ma'ahoo yusabbihna bil'ashaiyi wal ishraaq

38:18We disposed the mountains to glorify [Allah] with him at evening and dawn,

وَٱلطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةًۭ ۖ كُلٌّۭ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌۭ ﴿19﴾

Wattayra mahshoorah; kullul lahooo awwaab

38:19and the birds [as well], mustered [in flocks]; all echoing him [in a chorus].

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ ٱلْخِطَابِ ﴿20﴾

Wa shadadnaa mulkahoo wa aatainaahul Hikmata wa faslal khitaab

38:20We consolidated his kingdom and gave him wisdom and conclusive speech.

۞ وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا۟ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ ﴿21﴾

Wa hal ataaka naba'ul khasm; iz tasawwarul mihraab

38:21Has there not come to you the account of the contenders, when they scaled the wall into the sanctuary?

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَٱهْدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ﴿22﴾

Iz dakhaloo 'alaa Daawooda fafazi'a minhum qaaloo la takhaf khasmaani baghaa ba'dunaa 'alaa ba'din fahkum bainanaaa bilhaqqi wa laa tushtit wahdinaaa ilaa Sawaaa'is Siraat

38:22When they entered into the presence of David, he was alarmed by them. They said, ‘Do not be afraid. [We are only] two contenders: one of us has bullied the other. So judge justly between us, and do not exceed [the bounds of justice], and show us the right path.’

إِنَّ هَٰذَآ أَخِى لَهُۥ تِسْعٌۭ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةًۭ وَلِىَ نَعْجَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِى فِى ٱلْخِطَابِ ﴿23﴾

Inna haazaaa akhee lahoo tis'unw wa tis'oona na'jatanw wa liya na'jatunw waahidah; faqaala akfilneeha wa 'azzanee filkhitaab

38:23‘This brother of mine has ninety-nine ewes, while I have only a single ewe, and [yet] he says, ‘Commit it to my care,’ and he browbeats me in speech.’

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلٌۭ مَّا هُمْ ۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًۭا وَأَنَابَ ۩ ﴿24﴾

Qaala laqad zalamaka bisu 'aali na'jatika ilaa ni'aajihee wa inna kaseeram minal khulataaa'i la-yabghee ba'duhum 'alaa ba'din illal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati wa qaleehum maa hum; wa zanna Daawoodu annamaa fatannaahu fastaghrara Rabbahoo wa kharra raaki'anw wa anaab

38:24He said, ‘He has certainly wronged you by asking your ewe in addition to his own ewes, and indeed many partners bully one another, except such as have faith and do righteous deeds, and few are they.’ Then David knew that We had tested him, whereat he pleaded with his Lord for forgiveness, and fell down in prostration and repented.

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍۢ ﴿25﴾

Faghafarnaa lahoo zaalik; wa inna lahoo 'indanaa lazulfaa wa husna ma aab

38:25So We forgave him that, and indeed he has [a station of] nearness with Us and a good destination.

يَٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰكَ خَلِيفَةًۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ شَدِيدٌۢ بِمَا نَسُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ ﴿26﴾

Yaa Daawoodu innaa ja'alnaaka khaleefatan fil ardi fahkum bainan naasi bilhaqqi wa laa tattabi'il hawaa fayudillaka 'an sabeelil laah; innal lazeena yadilloona 'an sabeelil laah; lahum 'azaabun shadeedum bimaa nasoo Yawmal Hisaab

38:26‘O David! Indeed, We have made you a vicegerent on the earth. So judge between people with justice, and do not follow your desires, or they will lead you astray from the way of Allah. Indeed there is a severe punishment for those who stray from the way of Allah, because of their forgetting the Day of Reckoning.’

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَٰطِلًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ﴿27﴾

Wa ma khalaqnas samaaa'a wal arda wa maa bainahumaa baatilaa; zaalika zannul lazeena kafaroo; fawi lul lillazeena kafaroo minan Naar

38:27We did not create the sky and the earth and whatever is between them in vain. That is a conjecture of the faithless. So woe to the faithless for the Fire!

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلْفُجَّارِ ﴿28﴾

Am naj'alul lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati kalmufisdeena fil ardi am naj'alul muttaqeena kalfujjaar

38:28Shall We treat those who have faith and do righteous deeds like those who cause corruption on the earth? Shall We treat the Godwary like the vicious?

كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَٰرَكٌۭ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ ﴿29﴾

Kitaabun anzalnaahu ilaika mubaarakul liyaddabbarooo Aayaatihee wa liyatazakkara ulul albaab

38:29[This is] a blessed Book that We have sent down to you, so that they may contemplate its signs, and that those who possess intellect may take admonition.

وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيْمَٰنَ ۚ نِعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ﴿30﴾

Wa wahabnaa li Daawooda Sulaimaan; ni'mal 'abd; innahoo awwaab

38:30And to David We gave Solomon—what an excellent servant he was! Indeed, he was a penitent [soul].

إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ ٱلصَّٰفِنَٰتُ ٱلْجِيَادُ ﴿31﴾

Iz 'urida 'alaihi bil'ashiy yis saafinaatul jiyaad

38:31One evening when there were displayed before him prancing steeds,

فَقَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ ٱلْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّى حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِٱلْحِجَابِ ﴿32﴾

Faqaala inneee ahbabtu hubbal khairi 'an zikri Rabbee hattaa tawaarat bilhijaab

38:32he said, ‘Indeed I have preferred the love of [worldly] niceties to the remembrance of my Lord until [the sun] disappeared behind the [night’s] veil.’

رُدُّوهَا عَلَىَّ ۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحًۢا بِٱلسُّوقِ وَٱلْأَعْنَاقِ ﴿33﴾

Ruddoohaa 'alaiya fatafiqa masham bissooqi wal a'naaq

38:33‘Bring it back for me!’ Then he [and others] began to wipe [their] legs and necks.

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَٰنَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدًۭا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ ﴿34﴾

Wa laqad fatannaa Sulaimaana wa alqainaa 'alaa kursiyyihee jasadan summa anaab

38:34Certainly We tried Solomon, and cast a [lifeless] body on his throne. Thereupon he was penitent.

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَهَبْ لِى مُلْكًۭا لَّا يَنۢبَغِى لِأَحَدٍۢ مِّنۢ بَعْدِىٓ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ ﴿35﴾

Qaala Rabbigh fir lee wa hab lee mulkal laa yambaghee li ahadim mim ba'de inaka Antal Wahhab

38:35He said, ‘My Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom that will not befit anyone except me. Indeed You are the All-munificent.’

فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ ٱلرِّيحَ تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِۦ رُخَآءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ ﴿36﴾

Fasakhkharnaa lahur reeha tajree bi amrihee rukhaaa'an haisu asaab

38:36So We disposed the wind for him, blowing softly wherever he intended by his command,

وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٍۢ وَغَوَّاصٍۢ ﴿37﴾

Wash Shayaateena kulla bannaaa'inw wa ghawwaas

38:37and every builder and diver from the demons,

وَءَاخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِى ٱلْأَصْفَادِ ﴿38﴾

Wa aakhareena muqarraneena fil asfaad

38:38and others [too] bound together in chains.

هَٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَٱمْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍۢ ﴿39﴾

Haazaa 'ataaa'unaa famnun aw amsik bighairi hisaab

38:39‘This is Our bounty: so withhold or bestow without any reckoning.’

وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍۢ ﴿40﴾

Wa inna lahoo 'indanaa lazulfaa wa husna ma-aab

38:40Indeed he has [a station of] nearness with Us and a good destination.

وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ بِنُصْبٍۢ وَعَذَابٍ ﴿41﴾

Wazkur 'abdanaaa Ayyoob; iz naada Rabbahooo annee massaniyash Shaitaanu binus binw wa 'azaab

38:41And remember Our servant Job [in the Quran]. When he called out to his Lord, ‘The devil has visited on me hardship and torment,’

ٱرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ ۖ هَٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌۢ بَارِدٌۭ وَشَرَابٌۭ ﴿42﴾

Urkud birijlika haaza mughtasalum baaridunw wa sharaab

38:42[We told him:] ‘Stamp your foot on the ground; this [ensuing spring] will be a cooling bath and drink.’

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ ﴿43﴾

Wa wahabnaa lahoo ahlahoo wa mislahum ma'ahum rahmatam minna wa zikraa li ulil albaab

38:43We gave [back] his family to him along with others like them, as a mercy from Us and an admonition for those who possess intellect.

وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًۭا فَٱضْرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ ۗ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَٰهُ صَابِرًۭا ۚ نِّعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌۭ ﴿44﴾

Wa khuz biyadika dighsan fadrib bihee wa laa tahnas, innaa wajadnaahu saabiraa; ni'mal 'abd; innahooo awwaab

38:44[We told him:] ‘Take a faggot in your hand and then strike [your wife] with it, but do not break [your] oath.’ Indeed, We found him to be patient. What an excellent servant! Indeed he was a penitent [soul].

وَٱذْكُرْ عِبَٰدَنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أُو۟لِى ٱلْأَيْدِى وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرِ ﴿45﴾

Wazkur 'ibaadanaaa Ibraaheema wa Is-haaqa wa Ya'qooba ulil-aydee walabsaar

38:45And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, men of strength and insight.

إِنَّآ أَخْلَصْنَٰهُم بِخَالِصَةٍۢ ذِكْرَى ٱلدَّارِ ﴿46﴾

Innaaa akhlasnaahum bi khaalisatin zikrad daar

38:46Indeed We purified them with exclusive remembrance of the abode [of the Hereafter].

وَإِنَّهُمْ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ﴿47﴾

Wa innahum 'indanaa laminal mustafainal akhyaar

38:47Indeed they are surely with Us among the elect of the best.

وَٱذْكُرْ إِسْمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلْكِفْلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ﴿48﴾

Wazkur Ismaa'eela wal Yasa'a wa Zal-Kifli wa kullum minal akhyaar

38:48And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhu’l-Kifl—each [of whom was] among the elect.

هَٰذَا ذِكْرٌۭ ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابٍۢ ﴿49﴾

Haazaa zikr; wa inna lilmuttaqeena lahusna ma aab

38:49This is a Reminder, and indeed the Godwary have a good destination:

جَنَّٰتِ عَدْنٍۢ مُّفَتَّحَةًۭ لَّهُمُ ٱلْأَبْوَٰبُ ﴿50﴾

Jannaati 'adnim mufat tahatal lahumul abwaab

38:50the Gardens of Eden, whose gates will be flung open for them.

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَٰكِهَةٍۢ كَثِيرَةٍۢ وَشَرَابٍۢ ﴿51﴾

Muttaki'eena feehaa yad'oona feehaa bifaakihatin kaseeratinw wa sharaab

38:51Reclining therein [on couches], they will call for abundant fruits and drinks,

۞ وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ ﴿52﴾

Wa 'indahum qaasiraatut tarfi atraab

38:52and there will be with them maidens of restrained glances, of a like age.

هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ ﴿53﴾

Haaza maa too'odoona li Yawmil Hisaab

38:53This is what you are promised on the Day of Reckoning.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُۥ مِن نَّفَادٍ ﴿54﴾

Inna haazaa larizqunaa maa lahoo min nafaad

38:54This is Our provision, which will never be exhausted.

هَٰذَا ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّٰغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَـَٔابٍۢ ﴿55﴾

Haazaa; wa inna littaagheena lasharra ma-aab

38:55This [will be for the righteous], and as for the rebellious there will surely be a bad destination:

جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ ﴿56﴾

Jahannama yaslawnahaa fai'sal mihaad

38:56hell, which they shall enter, an evil resting place.

هَٰذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌۭ وَغَسَّاقٌۭ ﴿57﴾

Haazaa falyazooqoohu hameemunw wa ghassaaq

38:57[They will be told, ‘This is scalding water and pus; let them taste it,

وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجٌ ﴿58﴾

Wa aakharu min shak liheee azwaaj

38:58and other kinds [of torments] resembling it.’

هَٰذَا فَوْجٌۭ مُّقْتَحِمٌۭ مَّعَكُمْ ۖ لَا مَرْحَبًۢا بِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُوا۟ ٱلنَّارِ ﴿59﴾

Haazaa fawjum muqtahimum ma'akum laa marhabam bihim; innahum saalun Naar

38:59[The leaders of the faithless will be told,] ‘This is a group [of your followers] plunging [into hell] along with you.’ [They will repond,] ‘May wretchedness be their lot! For they will enter the Fire.’

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبًۢا بِكُمْ ۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرَارُ ﴿60﴾

Qaaloo bal antum laa marhabam bikum; antum qaddamtumoohu lanaa fabi'sal qaraar

38:60They will say, ‘No, may wretchedness be your lot! You prepared this [hell] for us. What an evil abode!’

قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًۭا ضِعْفًۭا فِى ٱلنَّارِ ﴿61﴾

Qaaloo Rabbanaa man qaddama lanaa haaza fazidhu 'azaaban di'fan fin Naar

38:61They will say, ‘Our Lord! Whoever has prepared this for us, double his punishment in the Fire!’

وَقَالُوا۟ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًۭا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ﴿62﴾

Wa qaaloo ma lanaa laa naraa rijaalan kunnaa na'udduhum minal ashraar

38:62And they will say, ‘Why is it that we do not see [here] men whom we used to count among the bad ones,

أَتَّخَذْنَٰهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَبْصَٰرُ ﴿63﴾

Attakhaznaahum sikh riyyan am zaaghat 'anhumul absaar

38:63ridiculing them, or do [our] eyes miss them [here]?’

إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّۭ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ ٱلنَّارِ ﴿64﴾

Inna zaalika lahaqqun takhaasumu Ahlin Naar

38:64That is indeed a true account of the contentions of the inmates of the Fire.

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرٌۭ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ﴿65﴾

Qul innamaaa ana munzirunw wa maa min ilaahim illal laahul Waahidul Qahhaar

38:65Say, ‘I am just a warner, and there is no god except Allah, the One, the All-paramount,

رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّٰرُ ﴿66﴾

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumal 'Azeezul Ghaffaar

38:66the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the All-mighty, the All-forgiver.’

قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا۟ عَظِيمٌ ﴿67﴾

Qul huwa naba'un 'azeem

38:67Say, ‘It is a great prophesy,

أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿68﴾

Antum 'anhu mu'ridoon

38:68of which you are disregardful.

مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ﴿69﴾

Maa kaana liya min 'ilmim bilmala il a'laaa iz yakhtasimoon

38:69I have no knowledge of the Supernal Elite when they contend.

إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ﴿70﴾

Iny-yoohaaa ilaiya illaaa annnamaaa ana nazeerum mubeen

38:70All that is revealed to me is that I am just a manifest warner.’

إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًۭا مِّن طِينٍۢ ﴿71﴾

Iz qaala Rabbuka lilmalaaa'ikati innee khaaliqum basharam min teen

38:71When your Lord said to the angels, ‘Indeed I am about to create a human being out of clay.

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ ﴿72﴾

Fa-iza sawwaituhoo wa nafakhtu feehi mir roohee faqa'oo lahoo saajideen

38:72So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down in prostration before him.’

فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ﴿73﴾

Fasajadal malaaa'ikatu kulluhum ajma'oon

38:73Thereat the angels prostrated, all of them together,

إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ ٱسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ﴿74﴾

Illaaa Iblees; istakbara wa kaana minal kaafireen

38:74but not Iblis; he acted arrogantly and he was one of the faithless.

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَىَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالِينَ ﴿75﴾

Qaala yaaa Ibleesu maa man'aka an tasjuda limaa khalaqtu biyadai; astakbarta am kunta min 'aaleen

38:75He said, ‘O Iblis! What keeps you from prostrating before that which I have created with My [own] two hands? Are you arrogant, or are you one of the exalted ones?’

قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍۢ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍۢ ﴿76﴾

Qaala ana khairum minah; khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen

38:76‘I am better than him,’ he said. ‘You created me from fire and You created him from clay.’

قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌۭ ﴿77﴾

Qaala fakhruj minhaa fainnaka rajeem

38:77He said, ‘Begone hence, for you are indeed an outcast,

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿78﴾

Wa inna 'alaika la'nateee ilaa Yawmid Deen

38:78and indeed My curse will be on you till the Day of Retribution.’

Qaala Rabbi fa anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ ﴿81﴾

Ilaa Yawmil waqtil ma'loom

Qaala fabi'izzatika la ughwiyannahum ajma'een

Illaa 'ibaadaka minhumul mukhlaseen

38:83except Your exclusive servants among them.’

قَالَ فَٱلْحَقُّ وَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ ﴿84﴾

Qaala falhaqq, walhaqqa aqool

38:84Said He, ‘The truth is that—and I speak the truth—

لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿85﴾

La amla'annna Jahannama minka wa mimman tabi'aka minhum ajma'een

38:85I will surely fill hell with you and all those who follow you.’

قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍۢ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ ﴿86﴾

Qul maaa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrinw wa maaa ana minal mutakallifeen

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿87﴾

In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen

38:87It is just a reminder for all the nations,

Wa lata'lamunna naba ahoo ba'da heen

38:88and you will surely learn its tidings in due time.’
