Sâd.

(1)Sâd

(-1)) 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 SAW) has come to them from among themselves! And the disbelievers say: "This (Prophet Muhammad SAW) 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 SAW) 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 SAW): "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 SAW): "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."

Al-Qamar

(1)The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad SAW to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon).[]

(2)And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic."

(3)They belied (the Verses of Allâh, this Qur'ân), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled [according to the kind of deeds (for the doer of good deeds, his deeds will take him to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell)].

(4)And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur'ân) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil),

(5)Perfect wisdom (this Qur'ân), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not,

(6)So (O Muhammad SAW) withdraw from them. The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.

(7)They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad,

(8)Hastening towards the caller, the disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day."

(9)The people of Nûh (Noah) denied (their Messenger) before them, they rejected Our slave, and said: "A madman!" and he was insolently rebuked and threatened.

(10)Then he invoked his Lord (saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!"

(11)So We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring forth.

(12)And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs. So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined.

(13)And We carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails,

(14)Floating under Our Eyes, a reward for him who had been rejected!

(15)And indeed, We have left this as a sign, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

(16)Then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

(17)And We have indeed made the Qur'ân easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

(18)'Ad (people) belied (their Prophet, Hûd), then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

(19)Verily, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a day of evil omen and continuous calamity.

(20)Plucking out men as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms.

(21)Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

(22)And We have indeed made the Qur'ân easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

(23)Thamûd (people also) belied the warnings.

(24)For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!"

(25)"Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Sâlih (Saleh) <><>] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!"

(26)Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one!

(27)Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Sâlih (Saleh) <><>], and be patient!

(28)And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns).

(29)But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her).

(30)Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

(31)Verily, We sent against them a single Saîhah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder.

(32)And indeed, We have made the Qur'ân easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

(33)The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings.

(34)Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night,

(35)As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us).

(36)And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings!

(37)And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

(38)And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning.

(39)"Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

(40)And indeed, We have made the Qur'ân easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

(41)And indeed, warnings came to the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) [through Mûsa (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)].

(42)(They) belied all Our Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable to carry out what he Will (Omnipotent).

(43)Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these [nations of Nûh (Noah), Lout (Lot), Sâlih (Saleh), and the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), etc., who were destroyed)? Or have you an immunity (against Our Torment) in the Divine Scriptures?

(44)Or do they say: "We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious.?"

(45)Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.

(46)Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter.

(47)Verily, the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.) are in error (in this world) and will burn (in the Hell-fire in the Hereafter).

(48)The Day they will be dragged in the Fire on their faces (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell!"[]

(49)Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation, as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz).

(50)And Our Commandment is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.

(51)And indeed, We have destroyed your likes, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

(52)And each and everything they have done is noted in (their) Records (of deeds).

(53)And everything, small and big is written (in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz already beforehand i.e. before it befalls, or is done by its doer ÇáÇí<>ä ÈÇáÞÏÑ) (See the Qur'ân V.57:22).

(54)Verily, The Muttaqûn[] (pious), will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers (Paradise).

(55)In a seat of truth (i.e. Paradise), near the Omnipotent King (Allâh, the All-Blessed, the Most High, the Owner of Majesty and Honour).
