1
Sâd By the Qur'an holding the Remembrance.
2
But those who are kafir are full of vainglory and entrenched in hostility.
3
How many generations We have destroyed before them! And they cried out when it was too late to escape.
4
They are surprised that a warner should come to them from among themselves. The kuffar say, 'This is a lying magician.
5
Has he turned all the gods into One God? That is truly astonishing!'
6
Their leaders went off saying, 'Carry on as you are! Hold fast to your gods. This is clearly something planned.
7
We have not heard of this in the old religion. This is merely something contrived.
8
Has the Reminder been sent down to him out of all of us?' They are in doubt about My Reminder. They have yet to taste My punishment.
9
Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord's mercy, the Almighty, the Ever-Giving?
10
Or does the kingdom of the heavens and earth and everything between them belong to them? Let them, in that case, climb the ropes to heaven!
11
Even a whole army of Confederates will be routed there!
12
Before them the people of Nuh denied the truth, as did 'Ad and Pharaoh of the Stakes,
13
and Thamud and the people of Lut and the Companions of the Thicket. Those too were Confederates.
14
Each one of them denied the Messengers and so My punishment was justly carried out.
15
These people too are only awaiting a single Blast and it will not be repeated.
16
They say, 'Our Lord, advance our share to us before the Day of Reckoning.'
17
Be steadfast in the face of what they say and remember Our slave Dawud, who possessed true strength. He truly turned to his Lord.
18
We subjected the mountains to glorify with him in the evening and at sunrise.
19
And also the birds, flocking together, all of them turned to Him.
20
We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive speech.
21
Has the story of the litigants reached you? How they climbed up to the Upper Room
22
and came in on Dawud who was alarmed by them. They said, 'Do not be afraid. We are two litigants, one of whom has acted unjustly towards the other, so judge between us with truth and do not be unjust and guide us to the Right Path.
23
This brother of mine has ninety-nine ewes and I have only one. He said, “Let me have charge of it,” and got the better of me with his words.'
24
He said, 'He has wronged you by asking for your ewe to add to his ewes. Truly many partners are unjust to one another – except those who have iman and do right actions, and how few they are!' Dawud realised that We had put him to the test. He begged forgiveness from his Lord and fell down prone, prostrating, and repented.
25
So We forgave him for that and he has nearness to Us and a good Homecoming.
26
'Dawud! We have made you a khalif on the earth, so judge between people with truth and do not follow your own desires, letting them misguide you from the Way of Allah. Those who are misguided from the Way of Allah will receive a harsh punishment because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.'
27
We did not create heaven and earth and everything between them to no purpose. That is the opinion of those who are kafir. Woe to those who are kafir, because of the Fire!
28
Would We make those who have iman and do right actions the same as those who cause corruption on the earth? Would We make those who have taqwa the same as the dissolute?
29
It is a Book We have sent down to you, full of blessing, so let people of intelligence ponder its Signs and take heed.
30
We gave Dawud Sulayman. What an excellent slave! He truly turned to his Lord.
