Surah Saad
سُورَةُ صٓSurah Sad begins with the mysterious letter Sad and presents stories of Prophets Dawud and Sulayman, along with the story of Iblis's refusal to prostrate to Adam.
مُتَّكِـِٔینَ فِیهَا یَدۡعُونَ فِیهَا بِفَـٰكِهَةࣲ كَثِیرَةࣲ وَشَرَابࣲ
Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink.
۞ وَعِندَهُمۡ قَـٰصِرَ ٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ أَتۡرَابٌ
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age.
هَـٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ
This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَرِزۡقُنَا مَا لَهُۥ مِن نَّفَادٍ
Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.
هَـٰذَاۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّـٰغِینَ لَشَرَّ مَـَٔابࣲ
This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -
جَهَنَّمَ یَصۡلَوۡنَهَا فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ
Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place.
هَـٰذَا فَلۡیَذُوقُوهُ حَمِیمࣱ وَغَسَّاقࣱ
This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.
وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكۡلِهِۦۤ أَزۡوَ ٰجٌ
And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.
هَـٰذَا فَوۡجࣱ مُّقۡتَحِمࣱ مَّعَكُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِهِمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ صَالُوا۟ ٱلنَّارِ
[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."
قَالُوا۟ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِكُمۡۖ أَنتُمۡ قَدَّمۡتُمُوهُ لَنَاۖ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرَارُ
They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."
قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدۡهُ عَذَابࣰا ضِعۡفࣰا فِی ٱلنَّارِ
They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."
وَقَالُوا۟ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالࣰا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَشۡرَارِ
And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?
أَتَّخَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِخۡرِیًّا أَمۡ زَاغَتۡ عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرُ
Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"
إِنَّ ذَ ٰلِكَ لَحَقࣱّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهۡلِ ٱلنَّارِ
Indeed, that is truth - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.
قُلۡ إِنَّمَاۤ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرࣱۖ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡوَ ٰحِدُ ٱلۡقَهَّارُ
Say, [O Muhammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allah, the One, the Prevailing.
رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡغَفَّـٰرُ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."
قُلۡ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا۟ عَظِیمٌ
Say, "It is great news
أَنتُمۡ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضُونَ
From which you turn away.
مَا كَانَ لِیَ مِنۡ عِلۡمِۭ بِٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰۤ إِذۡ یَخۡتَصِمُونَ
I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].
إِن یُوحَىٰۤ إِلَیَّ إِلَّاۤ أَنَّمَاۤ أَنَا۠ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینٌ
It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."
إِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةِ إِنِّی خَـٰلِقُۢ بَشَرࣰا مِّن طِینࣲ
[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.
فَإِذَا سَوَّیۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِیهِ مِن رُّوحِی فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِینَ
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ
So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.
إِلَّاۤ إِبۡلِیسَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ
Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.
قَالَ یَـٰۤإِبۡلِیسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِیَدَیَّۖ أَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَالِینَ
[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?"
قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِی مِن نَّارࣲ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِینࣲ
He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."
قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِیمࣱ
[Allah] said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled.
وَإِنَّ عَلَیۡكَ لَعۡنَتِیۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلدِّینِ
And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِیۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ
He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِینَ
[Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ
Until the Day of the time well-known."
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغۡوِیَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ
[Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ
Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
قَالَ فَٱلۡحَقُّ وَٱلۡحَقَّ أَقُولُ
[Allah] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say -
لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ
[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."
قُلۡ مَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرࣲ وَمَاۤ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَكَلِّفِینَ
Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ
It is but a reminder to the worlds.
وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُۥ بَعۡدَ حِینِۭ
And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."
