Surat Shaad
1. Sâd [These letters (Sâd etc.)
are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their
meanings]. by the Qur'ân full of reminding.
2. Nay, those who desbelieve are In
false pride and opposition.
3. How many a generation we have
destroyed before them, and they cried out when there was no longer time for
escape!
4. and they (Arab pagans) wonder
that a warner (Prophet Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) has come to them
from among themselves! and the disbelievers say: "This (Prophet Muhammad
Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) is a sorcerer, a liar.
5. "Has He made the âliha
(gods) (all) into one Ilâh (God - Allâh). Verily, This is a curious
thing!"
6. and the leaders among them went
about (saying): "Go on, and remain constant to Your âliha (gods)! Verily,
This is a thing designed (against you)!
7. "We have not heard (the
like) of This among the people of These later days. This is nothing but an
invention!
8. "Has the Reminder been sent
down to Him (Alone) from among us?" Nay! but they are In doubt about My
Reminder (this Qur'ân)! Nay, but they have not tasted (My) torment!
9. or have they the treasures of the
Mercy of Your Lord, the All-Mighty, the real Bestower?
10. or is it that the dominion of
the heavens and the earth and All that is between them is theirs? if So, let
them ascend up with means (to the heavens)!
11. (as they denied Allâh's
Message) they will be a defeated host like the Confederates of the old times
(who were defeated).
12. before them (were many who)
belied Messengers, the people of Nûh (Noah); and 'Ad; and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) the
man of stakes (with which He used to Punish the people),
13. and Thamûd, and the people of
Lout (Lot), and the dwellers of the wood; such were the confederates.
14. not one of them but belied the
Messengers, Therefore My torment was justified,
15. and These Only wait for a
single Saihah [shout (i.e. the blowing of the trumpet by the angel Isrâfil
Sarafil)] there will be no pause or ending thereto [till everything will perish
except Allâh (the Only God full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour)].
16. they say: "Our Lord!
hasten to us Qittana (i.e. Our record of good and bad deeds so that we see it)
before the Day of Reckoning!"
17. be patient (O Muhammad
Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) of what they say, and Remember Our slave Dâwûd
(David), endued with power. Verily, He was ever oft-returning In All matters
and In repentance (toward Allâh).
18. Verily, we made the mountains
to glorify Our praises with Him [Dâwûd (David)] In the 'Ashi (i.e. after the
mid-day till sunset) and Ishrâq (i.e. after the sunrise till mid-day).
19. and (so did) the birds
assembled: All with Him [Dâwûd (David)] did turn (to Allâh i.e. glorified his
Praises).
20. we made his Kingdom strong and
gave Him Al-Hikmah (Prophethood, etc.) and sound judgement In speech and
decision.
21. and has the news of the
litigants reached you? when they climbed over the wall into (His) Mihrâb (a
praying place or a private room,).
22. when they entered In upon Dâwûd
(David), He was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not! (We are) two
litigants, one of whom has wronged the other, Therefore judge between us with
truth, and treat us not with injustice, and Guide us to the Right way.
23. Verily, This My brother (in
religion) has ninety nine ewes, while I have (only) one ewe, and He says:
"Hand it over to Me, and He overpowered Me In speech."
24. [Dâwûd (David)] said
(immediately without listening to the opponent): "He has wronged You In
demanding Your ewe In addition to his ewes. and, Verily, many partners oppress
one another, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are
few." and Dâwûd (David) guessed that we have tried Him and He sought
Forgiveness of his Lord, and He fell down prostrate and turned (to Allâh) In
repentance.
25. so we forgave Him that, and
Verily, for Him is a near access to us, and a good place of (Final) return
(Paradise).
26. O Dâwûd (David)! Verily! we
have placed You as a successor on earth, so judge You between men In Truth (and
justice) and follow not Your desire for it will mislead You from the Path of
Allâh. Verily! those who wander astray from the Path of Allâh (shall) have a
Severe torment, because they forgot the Day of reckoning.
27. and we created not the heaven
and the earth and All that is between them without purpose! that is the
consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve (in
Islâmic Monotheism) from the Fire!
28. shall we treat those who
believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good
deeds, as Mufsidûn (those who associate partners In Worship with Allâh and
commit crimes) on earth? or shall we treat the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2), as
the Fujjâr (criminals, disbelievers, wicked, etc)?ONT>
29. (this is) a Book (the Qur'ân)
which we have sent down to you, full of Blessings that they may ponder over its
verses, and that men of understanding may remember.
30. and to Dâwûd (David) we gave
Sulaimân (Solomon). How excellent (A) slave! Verily, He was ever oft-returning
In repentance (to Us)!
31. when there were displayed
before him, In the afternoon, well trained horses of the highest breed [for
Jihâd (holy fighting In Allâh's Cause)].
32. and He said: "Alas! I did
love the good (these horses) instead of remembering My Lord (in My 'Asr
prayer)" till the time was over, and (the sun) had hidden In the veil (of
night).
33. Then He said "Bring them
(horses) back to me." Then He began to pass his Hand over their legs and
their necks (till the end of the display).
34. and, indeed we did try Sulaimân
(Solomon) and we placed on his Throne Jasadan (a devil, so He lost his Kingdom
for a while) but He did return (to his Throne and Kingdom by the Grace of Allâh
and He did return) to Allâh with obedience and In repentance.
35. He said: "My Lord! forgive
Me, and bestow upon Me a Kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after
me: Verily, You are the Bestower."
36. So, we subjected to Him the
wind, it blew gently to his order whithersoever He willed,
37. and also the Shayâtin (devils)
from the jinns (including) Every kind of builder and diver,
38. and also others bound In
fetters.
39. [Saying of Allâh to Sulaimân
(Solomon)]: "This is Our gift, so spend You or withhold, no account will
be asked."
40. and Verily, He enjoyed a near
access to us, and a good final return (Paradise).
41. and Remember Our slave Ayûb
(Job), when He invoked his Lord (saying): "Verily! Shaitân (Satan) has
touched Me with distress (by losing My health) and torment (by losing My
wealth)!
42. (Allâh said to him):
"Strike the ground with Your foot: This is a spring of water to wash in,
cool and a (refreshing) drink."
43. and we gave Him (back) his
family, and along with them the like thereof, as a Mercy from us, and a
Reminder for those who understand.
44. "And take In Your Hand a
bundle of thin grass and strike therewith (your wife), and break not Your oath
. Truly! we found Him patient. How excellent (A) slave! Verily, He was ever
oft-returning In repentance (to Us)!
45. and Remember Our slaves,
Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ishâque (Isaac), and Ya'qûb (Jacob), (all) owners of
strength (in worshipping Us) and (also) of religious understanding.
46. Verily, we did choose them by
granting them (a good thing, i.e.) the remembrance of the home [in the
Hereafter and they used to make the people Remember it, and also they used to
invite the people to obey Allâh and to do good deeds for the Hereafter].
47. and they are with us, Verily,
of the chosen and the best!
48. and Remember Ismâ'il (Ishmael),
AlYasa'â (Elisha), and Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah), All are among the best.
49. This is a reminder, and Verily,
for the Muttaqûn (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2) is a good final return
(Paradise), -,
50. 'Adn (Edn) Paradise
(everlasting Gardens), whose doors will be open for them, [It is said (in
Tafsir At-Tabarî, part 23, Page 174) that one can speak to the doors, just one
tells it to open and close, and it will open or close as it is ordered].
51. therein they will recline;
therein they will call for fruits In abundance and drinks;
52. and beside them will be chaste
females (virgins) restraining their glances Only for their husbands, (and) of
equal ages.
53. This it is what You (Al-Muttaqûn
- the pious) are promised for the Day of Reckoning!
54. (it will be said to them)!
Verily, This is Our provision which will never finish;
55. This is so! and for the Tâghûn
(transgressors, disobedient to Allâh and his Messenger - disbelievers In the
Oneness of Allâh, criminals, etc.), will be an evil final return (Fire),
56. Hell! where they will burn, and
worst (indeed) is that place to rest!
57. This is so! Then let them taste
it, a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges.
58. and other torments of similar
kind, All together!
59. This is a troop entering with
You (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall burn In the Fire!
60. (the followers of the
misleaders will say): "Nay, You (too)! no welcome for You! it is You
(misleaders) who brought This upon us (because You misled us In the world), so
evil is This place to stay in!"
61. they will say: "Our Lord!
whoever brought This upon us, add to Him a double torment In the Fire!"
62. and they will say: "What
is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad
ones?"
63. did we take them as an object
of mockery, or have (Our) eyes failed to perceive them?"
64. Verily, that is the very truth,
the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!
65. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "I am Only a warner and there is no Ilâh (God) except
Allâh (none has the Right to be worshipped but Allâh) the one, the Irresistible,
66. "The Lord of the heavens
and the earth and All that is between them, the All-Mighty, the
Oft-Forgiving."
67. say: "That (this Qur'ân)
is a great news,
68. "From which You turn away!
69. "I had no knowledge of the
chiefs (angels) on High when they were disputing and discussing (about the
creation of Adam).
70. "Only This has been
inspired to Me, that I am a plain warner."
71. (remember) when Your Lord said
to the angels: "Truly, I am going to create man from clay".
72. so when I have fashioned Him and
breathed into Him (His) soul created by Me, Then You fall down prostrate to
him."
73. so the angels prostrated
themselves, All of them:
74. except Iblîs (Satan) He was
proud and was one of the disbelievers.
75. (Allâh) said: "O Iblîs
(Satan)! what prevents You from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created
with both My hands. are You too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are You
one of the High exalted?"
76. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "I
am better than he, You created Me from Fire, and You created Him from
clay."
77. (Allâh) said: "Then get
out from here, for Verily, You are outcast.
78. "And verily!, My Curse is
on You till the Day of Recompense."
79. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "My
Lord! give Me Then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected."
80. (Allâh) said: "Verily! You
are of those allowed respite
81. "Till the Day of the time
appointed."
82. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "By
Your Might, Then I will surely mislead them all,
83. "Except Your chosen slaves
amongst them (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islâmic Monotheism)."
84. (Allâh) said: "The Truth
is, and the Truth I say,
85. that I will fill Hell with You
[Iblîs (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together."
86. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "No wage do I ask of You for This (the Qur'ân), nor am
I one of the Mutakallifûn (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not
exist).
87. "It (this Qur'ân) is Only
a Reminder for All the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns).
88. "And You shall certainly
know the Truth of it after a while."
