Sad. I swear by the Quran, which is full of reminders of God, (that you are a Messenger).
2
In fact, the unbelievers are the ones who are boastful and quarrelsome.
3
How many ancient generations did We destroy? (On facing Our torment) they cried out for help, but it was too late for them to escape.
4
It seems strange to the pagans that a man from their own people should come to them as a Prophet. The unbelievers have said, "He is only a lying magician".
5
They say, "Has he condemned all other gods but One? This is certainly strange".
6
A group of the pagans walked out of a meeting with the Prophet and told the others, "Let us walk away. Be steadfast in the worship of your gods. This man wants to dominate you.
7
We have heard nothing like this in the latest religion. This is only his own false invention.
8
Can it be that he alone has received the Quran?" In fact, they have doubts about My Quran and this is because they have not yet faced (My) torment.
9
Do they possess the treasures of the mercy of your, (Muhammad's), Lord, the Majestic and Munificent God?
10
Do they own the heavens and the earth and all that is between them? Let them try on their own to block (the ways of heavens so that Our revelations cannot come to you).
11
They are only a small band among the defeated confederate tribes.
12
The people of Noah, Ad and the dominating Pharaoh had rejected Our revelations.
13
So also did the people of Thamud, Lot, and the dwellers of the Forest.
14
Each of them who rejected the Messenger become subject to Our punishment.
15
They had only to wait for the single inevitable blast.
16
They scornfully said, "Lord, show us the record of our deeds before the day when everyone must present the account of their deeds.".
17
(Muhammad), bear patiently what they say and recall Our servant, David, who had strong hands and who was most repentant.
18
We made the mountains join him in glorifying Us in the evening and in the morning.
19
We made the birds assemble around him in flocks.
20
We strengthened his kingdom, giving him wisdom and the power of sound Judgment.
21
Have you heard the news of the disputing parties who climbed the walls of the prayer room
22
and entered where David was (praying). He was frightened, so they said, "Do not be afraid. We are only two disputing parties of which one of us has transgressed against the other. Judge between us with truth and justice and guide us to the right path".
23
One of them said, "This is my brother who has ninety-nine ewes when I have only one. He has demanded me to place that one in his custody; he had the stronger argument".
24
David said, "He has certainly been unjust in demanding your ewe from you. Most partners transgress against each other except for the righteously striving believers who are very few." David realized that it was a test from Us so he asked forgiveness from his Lord and knelt down before him in repentance.
25
We forgave him for this. In Our eyes he certainly has a good position and the best share (of the world to come).
26
We told him. "David, We have appointed you as Our deputy on earth so judge among the people with truth. Do not follow (worldly) desires lest you go astray from the way of God. Those who go astray from the way of God will suffer severe torment for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.
27
We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without purpose, even though this is the belief of the disbelievers. Woe to the disbelievers; they will suffer the torment of fire
28
Do We consider the righteously striving believers equal to the evil-doers in the land? Are the pious ones equal to those who openly commit sin?
29
It is a blessed Book which We have revealed for you so that you will reflect upon its verses and so the people of understanding will take heed.
30
We granted Solomon to David, a blessed servant of Ours and certainly the most repentant person.
