Sad ص

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ص ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim sad wal-quran dhi adh-dhikr

Sad. By the Qur'an containing reminder...

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ

bali alladhina kafaru fi 'izzah wa-shiqaq

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarn fanadaw wa-lata hin manasi

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape.

وَعَجِبُوا أَن جَاءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ ۖ وَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

wa-'ajibu an ja'ahum mundhir minhum wa-qala al-kafirun hadha sahir kadhdhab

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَـٰهًا وَاحِدًا ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ

'a'jala al-alihata ilahan wahidan 'inna hadha la-shay' 'ujab

Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."

وَانطَلَقَ الْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ امْشُوا وَاصْبِرُوا عَلَىٰ آلِهَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ يُرَادُ

wa-nalaqa al-mala' minhum ani imshu wa-sbiru 'ala alihatikum inna hadha la-shay' yurad

And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِي الْمِلَّةِ الْآخِرَةِ إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ

ma sami'na bihadha fi al-millah al-akhirah in hadha illa ikhtilaq

We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication.

أَأُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِن بَيْنِنَا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّن ذِكْرِي ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُوا عَذَابِ

a'unzila 'alayh adh-dhikr min baynina bal hum fi shakk min dhikri bal lamma yadhuqu 'adhab

Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَائِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ الْعَزِيزِ الْوَهَّابِ

am 'indahum khaza'inu rahmat rabb al-'aziz al-wahhab

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?

أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُوا فِي الْأَسْبَابِ

am lahum mulk as-samawat wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma fal-yartiqu fi al-asbab

Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through [any] ways of access.

جُندٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌ مِّنَ الْأَحْزَابِ

jundun ma hunalika mahzumun min al-ahzab

[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَعَادٌ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو الْأَوْتَادِ

kadhdhabat qablahum qawm nuh wa-'ad wa-fir'awn dhu al-awtad

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

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ الْأَحْزَابُ

wa-thamud wa-qawm lut wa-as-hab al-aykah ula'ik al-ahzab

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

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

in kull illa kadhab ar-rusul fa-haqq 'iqab

Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٍ

wa ma yanzuru ha'ula'i illa sayhatan wahidatan ma laha min fawaqin

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.

وَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

wa-qalu rabbana 'ajjil lana qittana qabla yawm al-hisab

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account"

اصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ

asbir 'ala ma yaqulun wadhkur 'abdana dawud dha al-ayd innahu awwab

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].

إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهُ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِشْرَاقِ

inna sakhkharna al-jibal ma'ahu yusabbihna bil-'ashiy wal-ishraq

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

وَالطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةً ۖ كُلٌّ لَّهُ أَوَّابٌ

wat-tayr mahshur kull lahu awwab

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

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ

wa-shadadna mulkahu wa-ataynahu al-hikmah wa-fasl al-khitab

And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech.

وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ نَبَأُ الْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا الْمِحْرَابَ

wa-hal ataka naba' al-khasm idh tasawwaru al-mihrab

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

إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَىٰ دَاوُودَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَا إِلَىٰ سَوَاءِ الصِّرَاطِ

idh dakhalu 'ala Dawud fa-fazi' minhum qalu la takhaf khasman bagha ba'duna 'ala ba'din fa-hkum baynana bil-haqq wa-la tushtit wa-hdina ila sawa' as-sirat

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.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا أَخِي لَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي الْخِطَابِ

inna hadha akhi lahu tis' wa-tis'un na'jah wa-li na'jah wahidah fa-qala akfilniha wa-'azzani fi al-khitab

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."

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِ ۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْخُلَطَاءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْ ۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُودُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ ۩

qala laqad zalamaka bisu'ali na'jatika ila ni'ajihi wa-inna kathir min al-khulata'i layabghi ba'duhum 'ala ba'd illa alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat wa-qalil ma hum wa-zanna Dawudu an-ma fatannahu fa-staghfara rabbahu wa-kharra raki'an wa-anab

[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].

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ

fa-ghafarna lahu dhalika wa-inna lahu 'indana la-zulfa wa-husna ma'ab

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

يَا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ

ya dawud inna ja'alnaka khalifatan fi al-ard fa-hkum bayn an-nas bil-haqq wa-la tattabi' al-hawa fa-yudillaka 'an sabil Allah inna alladhina yadilluna 'an sabil Allah lahum 'adhab shadid bima nasu yawm al-hisab

[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." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنَ النَّارِ

wa ma khalaqna as-sama wa al-ard wa ma baynahuma batilan dhalika zann alladhina kafaru fa-wayl lil-ladhina kafaru min an-nar

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.

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ

am naj'al alladhin amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat ka-al-mufsidin fi al-ard am naj'al al-muttaqin ka-al-fujjar

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?

كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ

kitab anzalnahu ilayka mubarak liyaddabbaru ayatih wa-liyatadhakkar ulu al-albab

[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.

وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُودَ سُلَيْمَانَ ۚ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ

wa-wahabna li-dawud sulayman ni'm al-'abd innahu awwab

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

إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ الصَّافِنَاتُ الْجِيَادُ

idh 'urida 'alayhi bil-'ashiy as-safinat al-jiyad

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

فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ

fa-qala inni ahbabtu hubb al-khayr 'an dhikr rabb hatta tawarat bil-hijab

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]."

رُدُّوهَا عَلَيَّ ۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحًا بِالسُّوقِ وَالْأَعْنَاقِ

rudduha 'alayya fa-tafiqa masahan bil-suqi wal-a'naq

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

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ

wa-laqad fatanna sulayman wa-alqayna 'ala kursiyyh jasadan thumma anab

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

قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَّا يَنبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِّن بَعْدِي ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

qala rabbi ighfir li wahab li mulkan la yanbaghi li-ahadin min ba'di innaka anta al-wahhab

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."

فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّيحَ تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَاءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ

fa-sakhkharna lahu ar-rih tajri bi-amrih rukha'an haythu asabat

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

وَالشَّيَاطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّاءٍ وَغَوَّاصٍ

wash-shayatin kulla banna'in wa-ghawwasin

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

وَآخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِي الْأَصْفَادِ

wa-akharina muqarranina fi al-asfad

And others bound together in shackles.

هَـٰذَا عَطَاؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

hatha 'ata'una fa-mnun aw amsik bi-ghayr hisab

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

وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ

wa-inna lahu 'indana la-zulfa wa-husn ma'ab

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

وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ

wa-dhkur 'abdna Ayyub idh nada rabbahu anni massani ash-shaytan binusb wa-'adhab

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

ارْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ ۖ هَـٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ

urkud birjlik hadha maghtasal barid washarab

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

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ

wa-wahabna lahu ahlahu wa-mithlahum ma'ahum rahmat minna wa-dhikra li-'uli al-albab

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

وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَاضْرِب بِّهِ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ ۗ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ صَابِرًا ۚ نِّعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ

wa-khudh bi-yadika dighthan fa-drib bihi wa-la tahnath inna wajadnahu sabiran ni'm al-'abd innahu awwab

[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].

وَاذْكُرْ عِبَادَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أُولِي الْأَيْدِي وَالْأَبْصَارِ

wa-dhkur 'ibadana Ibrahim wa-Ishaq wa-Ya'qub uli al-aydi wal-absar

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

إِنَّا أَخْلَصْنَاهُم بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى الدَّارِ

inna akhlasnahum bi-khalisatin dhikra ad-dar

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

وَإِنَّهُمْ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ الْأَخْيَارِ

wa-innahum 'indana lamina al-mustafayna al-akhyar

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

وَاذْكُرْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَذَا الْكِفْلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِّنَ الْأَخْيَارِ

wa-dhkur Isma'il wal-yasa'a wa-dha al-kifl wa-kullun min al-akhyar

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

هَـٰذَا ذِكْرٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ

hadha dhikr wa-inna li-l-muttaqin la-husn ma'ab

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

جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ الْأَبْوَابُ

jannat 'adn mufattahah lahu al-abwab

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

مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَشَرَابٍ

muttaki'ina fiha yad'una fiha bifakihatin kathiratin wa-sharabin

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

وَعِندَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ

wa-'indahum qasirat at-tarf atrab

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

هَـٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

hadha ma tu'adun liyawm al-hisab

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُ مِن نَّفَادٍ

inna hadha la-rizquna ma lahu min nafad

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

هَـٰذَا ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّاغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَآبٍ

hadha wa-inna li-t-taghin lasharr ma'ab

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

جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ

jahannam yaslawnaha fa-bi's al-mihad

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

هَـٰذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ

hadha fa-lyadhuquhu hamim wa-ghassaq

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

وَآخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِ أَزْوَاجٌ

wa-akharu min shaklihi azwaj

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

هَـٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْ ۖ لَا مَرْحَبًا بِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُو النَّارِ

hadha fawjun muqtahimun ma'akum la marhaban bihim innahum salu an-nar

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

قَالُوا بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ ۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ

qalu bal antum la marhaban bikum antum qaddamtumuhu lana fa-bi'sa al-qarar

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

قَالُوا رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِي النَّارِ

qalu rabbana man qaddam lana hadha fa-zidhu 'adhaban di'fan fi an-nar

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

وَقَالُوا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ الْأَشْرَارِ

wa qalu ma lana la nara rijalan kunna na'udduhum min al-ashrar

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

أَتَّخَذْنَاهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصَارُ

attakhadhnahum sukhriyyan am zaghat 'anhum al-absar

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

إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ

inna dhalika la-haqq takhasum ahl an-nar

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

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

qul innama ana mundhir wa-ma min ilah illa Allah al-wahid al-qahhar

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

رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ

rabb as-samawat wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma al-'aziz al-ghaffar

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

قُلْ هُوَ نَبَأٌ عَظِيمٌ

qul huwa naba' 'azim

Say, "It is great news

أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ

antum 'anhu mu'ridun

From which you turn away.

مَا كَانَ لِيَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ بِالْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ

ma kana li min 'ilm bi-al-mala' al-a'la idh yakhtasimun

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

إِن يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

in yuha ilayya illa annama ana nadhir mubin

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

إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ

idh qala rabbuka lil-mala'ika inni khaliq basharan min tin

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

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ

fa-idha sawwaytuhu wa-nafakhtu fihi min ruhi faqa'u lahu sajidin

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

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

fa-sajada al-mala'ikatu kulluhum ajma'un

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.

إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ اسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

illa iblis astakbar wa-kana min al-kafirin

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

قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْعَالِينَ

[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?"

[Allah] said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

wa-inna 'alayk la'nati ila yawm ad-din

Until the Day of the time well-known."

[Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

la-amla'anna jahannama minka wa-mimman tabi'aka minhum ajma'in

[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."

qul ma as'alukum 'alayhi min ajr wa-ma ana min al-mutakallifin

Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

in huwa illa dhikr lil-'alamin

It is but a reminder to the worlds.

وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ

wa-ta'lamun naba'ah ba'd hin

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."
