Sad
Revealed At Mecca, Verses: 88
In the name of Allah, The Merciful, The
All-merciful
- Sad
(S)__ by the Qur'an, containing the Admonition;(1)
- but the unbelievers are steeped in pride
and opposition.(2)
- How many a generation We destroyed before
them and they cried, but there was no time to escape. (3)
- And they wonder that there has come to
them a warner from among them, and the unbelievers say, `this is a sorcerer
and a big liar.(4)
- Has he made all the gods One God? This
is indeed a strange thing.'(5)
- And the chiefs among them departed: `move
and adhere to your gods; this is a thing to be desired.(6)
- We never heard of this in the last creed;
this is nothing but an invention.(7)
- Has the Admonition been sent down on him
out of us?' No, they are in doubt of My Admonition. No, they have not
yet tasted My punishment.(8)
- Or do they have the treasures of the mercy
of thy Lord, the Mighty, the All-bestowing?(9)
- Or is theirs the kingdom of the heavens
and the earth and what between them is? Then let them go up the cords.(10)
- Of all the confederates, the host that
is here shall be routed.(11)
- Before them, gave lies the people of Noah,
Ad, and Pharaoh __ the holder of the pegs,(12)
- Thamood, the people of Lot, and the men
of the Wood __ those were the confederates.(13)
- Everyone gave lies to the Messengers, so
my retribution was justified.(14)
- And these are not waiting but for a single
blast which will have no break.(15)
- And they say, `our Lord, hasten to us our
share before the Day of Reckoning.'(16)
- Bear thou patiently what they say, and
mention Our servant, David, the man of might; he was a penitent.(17)
- We subjected With him, the mountains to
extoll at evening and sunrise,(18)
- and also the birds, duly mustered; everyone
was penitent to Him.(19)
- And We strengthened his kingdom, and gave
him wisdom and (power of) decisive speech.(20)
- And has the tale of the litigants come
to thee? When they scaled the guarded chamber;(21)
- when they entered upon David, and he was
frightened of them; they said, `fear not; as two litigants, one of us
has aggressed the other, so judge between us aright, and do not violate,
and guide us to the even path.(22)
- This is my brother; he has ninety nine
ewes, while I have one ewe; yet he says, `give it to my charge, and he
has dominated me in speech.'(23)
- He said, `he has wronged thee in demanding
thy ewe to be added to his ewes; and surely many of the partners aggress
one another, except those who believe and do righteous deeds __ and how
few they are!' And David thought that We had tried him, so he sought forgiveness
of his Lord, and fell down on knees, and turned to God.(24)
- So We forgave him that; and indeed he had
with Us a near place and a handsome resort. __(25)
- `O David, We have made thee a viceroy in
the earth, so judge between men aright, and do not follow caprice, lest
it lead thee astray from the way of God; surely those who go astray from
the way of God, for them shall be a terrible punishment, for that they
forgot the Day of Reckoning'.(26)
- And We have not created the heavens and
the earth and what between them is in vain; that is the thinking of the
unbelievers; so woe to the unbelievers because of the Fire!(27)
- Or shall We make those who believe and
do righteous deeds as those who cause disorder in the earth, or shall
We make the godfearing like the lawbreakers?(28)
- A Blessed Book We have sent down to thee,
that they may ponder over its signs, and that men of understanding my
pay heed.(29)
- And We bestowed on David Solomon; how excellent
a servant he was! He was a penitent.(30)
- When the swift standing steeds were presented
to him in the evening,(31)
- he said, `I have a liking for the good
things more than the remembrance of my Lord' __ till when the sun was
hidden behind the veil (he said,)(32)
- `return them to me'; and he started stroking
their shanks and necks.(33)
- And We put Solomon to trials, and We cast
a body on his throne, then he turned to God.(34)
- He said, `my Lord, forgive me and bestow
on me a kingdom that may not befall anyone after me; surely Thou art the
All-bestower.'(35)
- So We subjected to him the wind, that softly
blew at his command wherever he would go,(36)
- and also the devils, everyone a builder
and a diver,(37)
- and others bound in chains.(38)
- `This is Our gift so bestow or withhold
without reckoning.'(39)
- And surely he has a near place with Us
and a handsome resort.(40)
- And mention Our servant Job; when he called
to his Lord, `the Devil has afflicted me with weariness and punishment'
__ (41)
- `Stamp thy foot; here is a cool washing
place and a drink?'(42)
- And We gave to him his family, and the
like of them with them, as a mercy from Us, and a Reminder for men of
understanding.(43)
- `And take in thy hand a bundle of bushes
and strike with it, and do not break thy oath.' We found him patient;
how excellent a servant he was! he was a penitent.(44)
- And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob __ men of might and vision.(45)
- We purified them exclusively for the Remembrance
of the House.(46)
- And surely in Our sight they are among
the chosen and the excellent.(47)
- And mention Ishmael, Elisha and Dhulkifl;
for everyone was among the excellent.(48)
- This is an admonition; and surely for the
godfearing shall be a handsome resort __(49)
- gardens of eternity, the gates whereof
will be opened to them;(50)
- reclining there they will call therein
for abundant fruits and drink;(51)
- and with them will be maidens of equal
age. who keep their glances restrained __(52)
- `This is what you were promised for the
Day of Reckoning.(53)
- This is Our provision to which there will
be no end'.(54)
- This for them. And for the insolent, there
shall be an evil resort __(55)
- Hell, which they shall enter; how evil
the cradle!(56)
- This, so let them taste it __ boiling water
and pus;(57)
- and other things, many kinds of its type.(58)
- `This is a troop rushing in with you; there
is no welcome for them; they shall enter the Fire.'(59)
- They will say, `no, it is you for whom
there is no welcome; you forwarded it for us; and how evil is the resting
place!'(60)
- They will say, `our Lord, whoso forwarded this for us, give him a double
punishment in the Fire.'(61)
- And they will say, `how is it with us,
that we do not see men whom we counted among the wicked.(62)
- Is it that we took them for a laughing
stock, or have the eyes swerved away from them?'(63)
- That surely is the truth __ the wrangling
of the inhabitants of the Fire.(64)
- Say, `I am only a warner, and there is
no god but God, the One, the Omnipotent,(65)
- the Lord of the heavens and the earth and
what between them is, the Mighty, the All-forgiving'.(66)
- Say, `it is a big news,(67)
- from which you are turning away.(68)
- I have no knowledge of the Most High Chiefs,
when they dispute.(69)
- This only is revealed to me that I am only
a clear warner'.(70)
- When thy Lord said to the angels, `I am
creating a mortal of clay.(71)
- And when I have shaped him and breathed
in him of My spirit, fall you down to him in prostration'.(72)
- So the angels prostrated themselves, all
of them, altogether,(73)
- except Iblis; he showed arrogance, and
was among the unbelievers.(74)
- God said, `O Ibis, what prevented thee
from prostrating thyself before that I created with My hands? Did you
show arrogance or art thou of the high ones?'(75)
- He said, `I am better than he; Thou createdst
me of fire and createdst him of clay'.(76)
- God said, `now get thou out from here,
for thou art accursed.(77)
- And upon thee shall rest My curse till
the Day of Recompense'.(78)
- He said, `my Lord, respite me till the
Day they shall be raised'.(79)

them all together,(82)
- except Thy exclusive servants out of them.'(83)
- God said, `the truth is, and the truth
I speak,(84)
- I shall certainly fill Hell with thee and
with those who among them follow thee, all together.'(85)
- Say, `I do not ask of you any wage for
it, and I am no pretender.(86)
- It is not but a Reminder for all people.(87)
- And you shall surely know its news after
a while.'(88)
