Surah Sad ص

صٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكۡرِ ١

Sād wal-qur'āni dhidh-dhikr

Ṣād.¹³¹⁶ By the Qur’ān containing reminder...¹³¹⁷

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةٖ وَشِقَاقٖ ٢

Balil-ladhīna kafarū fī 'izzatin washiqāq

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنٖ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٖ ٣

Kam ahlaknā min qablihim min qarnin fanādaw wwalāta hīna manās

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

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٌ ٤

Wa'ajibū an jā'ahum mundhirum minhum waqālal-kāfirūna hādhā sāhirun kaddhāb

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٞ ٥

Aja'alal-ālihata ilāhan wāhidan inna hādhā lashay'un 'ujāb

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

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱمۡشُواْ وَٱصۡبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٞ يُرَادُ ٦

Wantalaqal-mala'u minhum animshū wasbirū 'alā ālihatikum inna hādhā lashay'un yurād

And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.¹³¹⁸

مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَٰقٌ ٧

Mā sami'nā bihādhā fil-millatil-ākhirati in hādhā illakhtilāq

We have not heard of this in the latest religion.¹³¹⁹ This is not but a fabrication.

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ ٨

A'unzila 'alayhidh-dhikru mim bayninā bal hum fī shakkim min dhikrī bal lammā yadhūqū 'adhāb

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.

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡوَهَّابِ ٩

Am 'indahum khazā'inu rahmati rabbikal-'azīzil-wahhāb

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?¹³²⁰

أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبِ ١٠

Am lahum mulkus-samāwāti wal-ardi wamā baynahumā falyartaqū fil-asbāb

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.¹³²¹

جُندٞ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ ١١

Jundum mā hunālika mahzūmum minal-ahzāb

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

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ ١٢

Kaddhabat qablahum qawmu nūhin wa'ādun wafir'awnu dhul-awtād

The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] ʿAad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,¹³²²

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطٖ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ ١٣

Wathamūdu waqawmu lūtin wa ashābu l'aykati ulā'ikal-ahzāb

And [the tribe of] Thamūd and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket [i.e., people of Madyan]. Those are the companies.¹³²³

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ ١٤

In kullun illā kaddhabar-rusula fahaqqa 'iqāb

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

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٖ ١٥

Wamā yanzuru hā'ulā'i illā sayhatan wāhidatam mā lahā min fawāq

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.¹³²⁴

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ١٦

Waqālū rabbanā 'ajjil lanā qittanā qabla yawmil-hisāb

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

ٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلۡأَيۡدِۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ١٧

Isbir 'alā mā yaqūlūna wadhkur 'abdanā dāwūda dhal-aydi innahū awwāb

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allāh].

إِنَّا سَخَّرۡنَا ٱلۡجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحۡنَ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ وَٱلۡإِشۡرَاقِ ١٨

Innā sakkharnal-jibāla ma'ahū yusabbihna bil-'ashiyyi wal-ishrāq

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

وَٱلطَّيۡرَ مَحۡشُورَةٗۖ كُلّٞ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٞ ١٩

Wat-tayra mahshūratan kullul lahū awwāb

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

وَشَدَدۡنَا مُلۡكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَفَصۡلَ ٱلۡخِطَابِ ٢٠

Washadadnā mulkahū wa ātaynāhul-hikmata wafaslal-khitāb

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

۞ وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُاْ ٱلۡخَصۡمِ إِذۡ تَسَوَّرُواْ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابَ ٢١

Wahal atāka naba'ul-khasmi idh tasawwarul-mihrāb

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

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡهُمۡۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ خَصۡمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعۡضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَٱهۡدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٢٢

Idh dakhalū 'alā dāwūda fafazi'a minhum qālū lā takhaf khasmāni baghā ba'dunā 'alā ba'din fahkum baynanā bil-haqqi walā tushtit wahdinā ilā sawā'is-sirāt

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 هَٰذَآ أَخِي لَهُۥ تِسۡعٞ وَتِسۡعُونَ نَعۡجَةٗ وَلِيَ نَعۡجَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَقَالَ أَكۡفِلۡنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي ٱلۡخِطَابِ ٢٣

Inna hādhā akhī lahū tis'un watis'ūna na'jatan waliya na'jatun wāhidatun faqāla akfilnīhā wa'azzanī fil-khitāb

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 لَقَدۡ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبۡغِي بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلٞ مَّا هُمۡۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّٰهُ فَٱسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّۤ رَاكِعٗاۤ وَأَنَابَ۩ ٢٤

Qāla laqad zalamaka bisu'āli na'jatika ilā ni'ājihī wa inna kathīram minal-khulatā'i layabghī ba'duhum 'alā ba'din illal-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti waqalīlum mā hum wazanna dāwūdu annamā fatannāhu fastaghfara rabbahū wakharra rāki'an wa anāb

[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 Lord¹³²⁵ and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allāh].

فَغَفَرۡنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلۡفَىٰ وَحُسۡنَ مَـَٔابٖ ٢٥

Faghafarnā lahū dhālika wa inna lahū 'indanā lazulfā wahusna ma'āb

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

يَٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰكَ خَلِيفَةٗ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱحۡكُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا نَسُواْ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ٢٦

Yādāwūdu innā ja'alnāka khalīfatan fil-ardi fahkum baynan-nāsi bil-haqqi walā tattabi'il-hawā fayudillaka 'an sabīlillāhi innal-ladhīna yadillūna 'an sabīlillāhi lahum 'adhābun shadīdu bimā nasū yawmal-hisāb

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

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا بَٰطِلٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٢٧

Wamā khalaqnas-samā'a wal-arda wamā baynahumā bātilan dhālika zannul-ladhīna kafarū fawaylul lilladhīna kafarū minan-nār

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.

أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلۡفُجَّارِ ٢٨

Am naj'alul-ladhīna āmanū wa'amilus-sālihāti kal-mufsidīna fil-ardi am naj'alul-muttaqīna kal-fujjār

Or should We treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allāh like the wicked?

كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ مُبَٰرَكٞ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٢٩

Kitābun anzalnāhu ilayka mubārakul liyaddabbarū āyātihī waliyatadhakkara ulul-albāb

[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

وَوَهَبۡنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيۡمَٰنَۚ نِعۡمَ ٱلۡعَبۡدُ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ٣٠

Wawahabnā lidāwūda sulaymāna ni'mal-'abdu innahū awwāb

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

إِذۡ عُرِضَ عَلَيۡهِ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ ٱلصَّٰفِنَٰتُ ٱلۡجِيَادُ ٣١

Idh 'urida 'alayhi bil-'ashiyyis-sāfinātul-jiyād

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

فَقَالَ إِنِّيٓ أَحۡبَبۡتُ حُبَّ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتۡ بِٱلۡحِجَابِ ٣٢

Faqāla innī ahbabtu hubbal-khayri 'an dhikri rabbī hattā tawārat bil-hijāb

And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until it [i.e., the sun] disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."

رُدُّوهَا عَلَيَّۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسۡحَۢا بِٱلسُّوقِ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَاقِ ٣٣

Ruddūhā 'alayya fatafiqa mashā bis-sūqi wal-a'nāq

[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking¹³²⁶ [their] legs and necks.

وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا سُلَيۡمَٰنَ وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا عَلَىٰ كُرۡسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدٗا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ ٣٤

Walaqad fatannā sulaymāna wa alqaynā 'alā kursiyyihī jasadan thumma anāb

And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body;¹³²⁷ then he returned.¹³²⁸

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِي وَهَبۡ لِي مُلۡكٗا لَّا يَنۢبَغِي لِأَحَدٖ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِيٓۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡوَهَّابُ ٣٥

Qāla rabbighfir lī wahab lī mulkal lā yambaghī li ahadim mim ba'dī innaka antal-wahhāb

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."

فَسَخَّرۡنَا لَهُ ٱلرِّيحَ تَجۡرِي بِأَمۡرِهِۦ رُخَآءً حَيۡثُ أَصَابَ ٣٦

Fasakkharnā lahur-rīha tajrī bi amrihī rukhā'an haythu asāb

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

وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٖ وَغَوَّاصٖ ٣٧

Wash-shayātīna kulla bannā'in waghawwās

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

وَءَاخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَصۡفَادِ ٣٨

Wa ākharīna muqarranīna fil-asfād

And others bound together in irons.

هَٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَٱمۡنُنۡ أَوۡ أَمۡسِكۡ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ ٣٩

Hādhā 'atā'unā famnun aw amsik bighayri hisāb

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

وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلۡفَىٰ وَحُسۡنَ مَـَٔابٖ ٤٠

Wa inna lahū 'indanā lazulfā wahusna ma'āb

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

وَٱذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ بِنُصۡبٖ وَعَذَابٍ ٤١

Wadhkur 'abdanā ayyūba idh nādā rabbahū annī massaniyash-shaytānu binusbin wa'adhāb

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

ٱرۡكُضۡ بِرِجۡلِكَۖ هَٰذَا مُغۡتَسَلُۢ بَارِدٞ وَشَرَابٞ ٤٢

Urkud birijlika hādhā mughtasalu bāridun washarāb

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

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهۡلَهُۥ وَمِثۡلَهُم مَّعَهُمۡ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٤٣

Wawahabnā lahū ahlahū wamithlahum ma'ahum rahmatam minnā wadhikrā li ulil-albāb

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

وَخُذۡ بِيَدِكَ ضِغۡثٗا فَٱضۡرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحۡنَثۡۗ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَٰهُ صَابِرٗاۚ نِّعۡمَ ٱلۡعَبۡدُ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٞ ٤٤

Wakhudh biyadika dighthan fadrib bihī walā tahnath innā wajadnāhu sābiran ni'mal-'abdu innahū awwāb

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath."¹³²⁹ Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

وَٱذۡكُرۡ عِبَٰدَنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ أُوْلِي ٱلۡأَيۡدِي وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ ٤٥

Wadhkur 'ibādanā ibrāhīma wa ishāqa waya'qūba ulil-aydī wal-absār

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

Innā akhlasnāhum bikhālisatin dhikrad-dār

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

Wa innahum 'indanā laminal-mustafaynal-akhyār

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

وَٱذۡكُرۡ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلۡكِفۡلِۖ وَكُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَخۡيَارِ ٤٨

Wadhkur ismā'īla wal-yasa'a wadhal-kifli wakullum minal-akhyār

Hādhā dhikrun wa inna lil-muttaqīna lahusna ma'āb

Jannāti 'adnim mufattahatal lahumul-abwāb

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

Wa'indahum qāsirātut-tarfi atrāb

Jahannama yaslawnahā fabi'sal-mihād

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

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