In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
ṣād By the Qur’an full of remembrance!
صٓ وَالْقُرْاٰنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِۜ
Sad walqur-ani theeaththikr
The truth is, those who ignore warning are in pride and dissension.
بَلِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا ف۪ي عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ
Bali allatheena kafaroo fee AAizzatinwashiqaq
(How many a generation We destroyed before them! And they cried out when there was no time to escape.)
كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوْا وَلَاتَ ح۪ينَ مَنَاصٍ
Kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarninfanadaw walata heena manas
And they marvel that a warner has come to them from among them; and the false claimers of guidance say: “This is a sorcerer and a liar.
وَعَجِبُٓوا اَنْ جَٓاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْۘ وَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هٰذَا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌۚ
WaAAajiboo an jaahum munthirunminhum waqala alkafiroona hatha sahirunkaththab
“Has he made the gods One God? This is an amazing thing.”
اَجَعَلَ الْاٰلِهَةَ اِلٰهاً وَاحِداًۚ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ
AjaAAala al-alihata ilahan wahidaninna hatha lashay-on AAujab
And the eminent ones among them went forth: “Go and be steadfast to your gods — this is a thing desired.
وَانْطَلَقَ الْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ اَنِ امْشُوا وَاصْبِرُوا عَلٰٓى اٰلِهَتِكُمْۚ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ يُرَادُۚ
Wantalaqa almalao minhum aniimshoo wasbiroo AAala alihatikuminna hatha lashay-on yurad
“We heard not of this in the latter creed; this is only a fabrication.
مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِي الْمِلَّةِ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌۚ
Ma samiAAna bihatha feealmillati al-akhirati in hatha illa ikhtilaq
“Is it that the remembrance was sent down upon him from among us?” The truth is, they are in doubt about My remembrance; the truth is, they have not tasted My punishment!
ءَاُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِنْ بَيْنِنَاۜ بَلْ هُمْ ف۪ي شَكٍّ مِنْ ذِكْر۪يۚ بَلْ لَمَّا يَذُوقُوا عَذَابِۜ
Aonzila AAalayhi aththikru minbaynina bal hum fee shakkin min thikree bal lammayathooqoo AAathab
If they have the treasuries of the mercy of thy Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower: —
اَمْ عِنْدَهُمْ خَزَٓائِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ الْعَز۪يزِ الْوَهَّابِۚ
Am AAindahum khaza-inu rahmatirabbika alAAazeezi alwahhab
Or if they have the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them: — then let them ascend into the causes!
اَمْ لَهُمْ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا۠ فَلْيَرْتَقُوا فِي الْاَسْبَابِ
Am lahum mulku assamawatiwal-ardi wama baynahuma falyartaqoofee al-asbab
Some force is thereupon defeated among the parties.
جُنْدٌ مَا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ
Jundun ma hunalika mahzoomunmina al-ahzab
The people of Noah denied before them, and ʿĀd, and Pharaoh, the Lord of Stakes,
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُوالْاَوْتَادِۙ
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohinwaAAadun wafirAAawnu thoo al-awtad
And Thamūd, and the people of Lot, and the companions of the woods — those were the parties —
وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَاَصْحَابُ لْـَٔيْكَةِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ الْاَحْزَابُ
Wathamoodu waqawmu lootin waas-habual-aykati ola-ika al-ahzab
Each only denied the messengers, so My retribution became binding.
اِنْ كُلٌّ اِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ۟
In kullun illa kaththaba arrusulafahaqqa AAiqab
And these look only for one Blast; it has no delay.
وَمَا يَنْظُرُ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً مَا لَهَا مِنْ فَوَاقٍ
Wama yanthuru haola-iilla sayhatan wahidatan ma lahamin fawaq
And they say: “Our Lord: hasten Thou for us our lot before the Day of Reckoning!”
وَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ
Waqaloo rabbana AAajjil lanaqittana qabla yawmi alhisab
Be thou patient over what they say. And remember thou Our servant David, the possessor of strength: he was one turning in repentance.
اِصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُ۫دَ ذَا الْاَيْدِۚ اِنَّـهُٓ اَوَّابٌ
Isbir AAala mayaqooloona wathkur AAabdana dawooda thaal-aydi innahu awwab
We made subject the mountains with him giving glory at evening and sunrise,
اِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهُ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْاِشْرَاقِۙ
Inna sakhkharna aljibalamaAAahu yusabbihna bilAAashiyyi wal-ishraq
And the birds assembled, all turning in repentance to Him.
وَالطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةًۜ كُلٌّ لَـهُٓ اَوَّابٌ
Wattayra mahshooratankullun lahu awwab
And We strengthened his dominion, and gave him wisdom and discernment of speech.
وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُ وَاٰتَيْنَاهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ
Washadadna mulkahu waataynahualhikmata wafasla alkhitab
And has the report of the litigant come to thee: — when they scaled the wall of the chamber?
وَهَلْ اَتٰيكَ نَـبَؤُا الْخَصْمِۢ اِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا الْمِحْرَابَۙ
Wahal ataka nabao alkhasmi ithtasawwaroo almihrab
When they entered upon David, and he was in terror of them, they said: “Fear thou not — two litigants, one of whom has oppressed the other. So judge thou between us with justice, and transgress thou not; and guide thou us to the right way.
اِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلٰى دَاوُ۫دَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْۚ خَصْمَانِ بَغٰى بَعْضُنَا عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَٓا اِلٰى سَوَٓاءِ الصِّرَاطِ

“This, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said: ‘Place thou her in my charge’; and he overcame me in speech.”
اِنَّ هٰذَٓا اَخ۪ي لَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ اَكْفِلْن۪يهَا وَعَزَّن۪ي فِي الْخِطَابِ
Inna hatha akhee lahu tisAAunwatisAAoona naAAjatan waliya naAAjatun wahidatun faqalaakfilneeha waAAazzanee fee alkhitab
Said he: “He has wronged thee in asking thy ewe for his ewes; and many among acquaintances oppress one another save those who heed warning and do righteous deeds — and few are they.” And David understood that We had but subjected him to means of denial; and he asked forgiveness of his Lord, and fell down humbly and repented.
قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ اِلٰى نِعَاجِه۪ۜ وَاِنَّ كَث۪يراً مِنَ الْخُلَطَٓاءِ لَيَبْغ۪ي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَل۪يلٌ مَا هُمْۜ وَظَنَّ دَاوُ۫دُ اَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعاً وَاَنَابَ

So We forgave him that; and he has nearness to Us and a good journey’s end.
فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُ ذٰلِكَۜ وَاِنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفٰى وَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍ
Faghafarna lahu thalikawa-inna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maab
“O David: We have appointed thee a successor in the earth; so judge thou between men with justice; and follow thou not vain desire lest it cause thee to stray from the path of God.” Those who stray from the path of God will have a severe punishment because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.
يَا دَاوُ۫دُ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَل۪يفَةً فِي الْاَرْضِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوٰى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ۟

And We created not the heaven and the earth and what is between them to no purpose. That is the assumption of those who ignore warning. And woe to those who ignore warning from the Fire!
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَٓاءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلاًۜ ذٰلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنَ النَّارِۜ
Wama khalaqna assamaawal-arda wama baynahuma batilanthalika thannu allatheena kafaroofawaylun lillatheena kafaroo mina annar
If We make those who heed warning and do righteous deeds like the workers of corruption in the land:. — Or if We make those of prudent fear like the licentious: .
اَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِد۪ينَ فِي الْاَرْضِۘ اَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّق۪ينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ

A Writ We have sent down to thee, one blessed, that they might consider its proofs with care, and that those of insight might take heed.

Kitabun anzalnahu ilayka mubarakunliyaddabbaroo ayatihi waliyatathakkara olooal-albab
And We gave David Solomon — how excellent a servant! He was one turning in repentance.
وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُ۫دَ سُلَيْمٰنَۜ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُۜ اِنَّهُٓ اَوَّابٌۜ
Wawahabna lidawooda sulaymananiAAma alAAabdu innahu awwab
When there were presented to him in the evening standing steeds,
اِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ الصَّافِنَاتُ الْجِيَادُۙ
Ith AAurida AAalayhi bilAAashiyyiassafinatu aljiyad
He said: “I have loved the love of good out of remembrance of my Lord!” — until it disappeared behind the partition: —
فَقَالَ اِنّ۪ٓي اَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبّ۪يۚ حَتّٰى تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ۠

“Return them to me!” Then he began to rub down their legs and necks.

Ruddooha AAalayya fatafiqa mashanbissooqi wal-aAAnaq
And We subjected Solomon to means of denial, and cast upon his throne a body; then did he repent.
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمٰنَ وَاَلْقَيْنَا عَلٰى كُرْسِيِّه۪ جَسَداً ثُمَّ اَنَابَ

He said: “My Lord: forgive Thou me, and give Thou me a dominion such as behoves no one after me; Thou art the Bestower!”
قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ ل۪ي وَهَبْ ل۪ي مُلْكاً لَا يَنْبَغ۪ي لِاَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْد۪يۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ
Qala rabbi ighfir lee wahab leemulkan la yanbaghee li-ahadin min baAAdee innakaanta alwahhab
So We made subject to him the wind — running by his command gently whithersoever he directed —

And others bound together in shackles.

“This is Our gift; so grant thou or withhold thou without reckoning!”

وَاِنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفٰى وَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍ۟
Wa-inna lahu AAindana lazulfawahusna maab
And remember thou Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord: “The satan has touched me with distress and punishment.”
وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَٓا اَيُّوبَۢ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهُٓ اَنّ۪ي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍۜ

Orkud birijlika hathamughtasalun baridun washarab
And We gave him his household, and their like with them, as a mercy from Us, and as a reminder for men of understanding.
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُٓ اَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنَّا وَذِكْرٰى لِاُو۬لِي الْاَلْبَابِ
Wawahabna lahu ahlahu wamithlahummaAAahum rahmatan minna wathikrali-olee al-albab
And: “Take thou in thy hand a bouquet, and strike thou therewith, and break thou not thine oath!” We found him patient. How excellent a servant! He was one turning in repentance.
وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثاً فَاضْرِبْ بِه۪ وَلَا تَحْنَثْۜ اِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ صَابِراًۜ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُۜ اِنَّهُٓ اَوَّابٌ

And remember thou Our servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — possessors of strength and vision.
وَاذْكُرْ عِبَادَنَٓا اِبْرٰه۪يمَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ اُو۬لِي الْاَيْد۪ي وَالْاَبْصَارِ

Not so Iblīs; he had waxed proud, and was of the false claimers of guidance.
