38:10

to top

38:10

Sahih International

38:12

Sahih International

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

38:13

to top

38:13

Sahih International

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

38:14

38:17

38:17

Sahih 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 ].

38:18

to top

38:18

Sahih International

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

38:19

to top

38:19

Sahih International

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

38:21

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

38:22

to top

38:22

Sahih 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.

38:23

to top

38:23

Sahih 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."

38:24

to top

38:24

Sahih 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 ].

38:25

to top

38:25

Sahih International

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

38:26

to top

38:26

Sahih 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 ."

38:27

to top

38:27

Sahih 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.

38:28

to top

38:28

Sahih 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?

38:29

to top

38:29

Sahih 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.

38:30

38:30

Sahih International

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

38:31

to top

38:31

Sahih International

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

38:32

to top

38:32

Sahih 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]."

38:33

to top

38:33

Sahih International

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

38:34

to top

38:34

Sahih International

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

38:35

to top

38:35

Sahih 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."

38:36

to top

38:36

Sahih International

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

38:37

to top

38:37

Sahih International

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

38:38

to top

38:38

Sahih International

And others bound together in shackles.

38:39

to top

38:39

Sahih International

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

38:40

to top

38:40

Sahih International

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

38:41

to top

38:41

Sahih International

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

38:42

to top

38:42

Sahih International

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

38:43

to top

38:43

Sahih International

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

38:44

to top

38:44

Sahih 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 ].

38:45

to top

38:45

Sahih International

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

38:46

to top

38:46

Sahih International

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

38:47

to top

38:47

Sahih International

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

38:48

to top

38:48

Sahih International

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

38:49

to top

38:49

Sahih International

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

38:50

to top

38:50

Sahih International

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

38:51

to top

38:51

Sahih International

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

38:52

to top

38:52

Sahih International

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

38:53

to top

38:53

Sahih International

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

38:54

to top

38:54

Sahih International

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

38:55

to top

38:55

Sahih International

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

38:56

to top

38:56

Sahih International

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

38:57

to top

38:57

Sahih International

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

38:58

to top

38:58

Sahih International

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

38:59

to top

38:59

Sahih International

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

38:60

to top

38:60

Sahih International

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

38:61

to top

38:61

Sahih International

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

38:62

to top

38:62

Sahih International

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

38:63

to top

38:63

Sahih International

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

38:64

to top

38:64

Sahih International

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

38:65

to top

38:65

Sahih International

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

38:66

to top

38:66

Sahih International

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

38:67

to top

38:67

Sahih International

Say, "It is great news

38:68

to top

38:68

Sahih International

From which you turn away.

38:69

to top

38:69

Sahih International

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

38:70

to top

38:70

Sahih International

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

38:71

to top

38:71

Sahih International

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

38:72

to top

38:72

Sahih International

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

38:73

to top

38:73

Sahih International

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.

38:74

to top

38:74

Sahih International

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

38:75

to top

38:75

Sahih 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?"
