Abul Ala Maududi(With tafsir) - English translation


(38:3) How many a nation did We destroy before them! (When they approached
their doom) they cried out (for deliverance), but the time for deliverance was
already past.

(38:4) They wondered that a warner had come to them from among themselves,4and
the deniers of the Truth said: “This is a sorcerer,5 and a big liar.

(38:8) Has this Exhortation been sent down among us only to him, to the exclusion
of all others?” Nay, they are in doubt regarding My Exhortation,0
and are saying all this because they have not yet had any taste of My chastisement.

(38:10) Or do they possess the dominion of the heavens and the earth and
of all that is in between them? If so, let them ascend the heights of the realm
of causation and see!1

(38:11) This is only a small army out of the several armies that will suffer
defeat here.2

(38:12) Before them the people of Noah, Ad, and Pharaoh of the tent-pegs
gave the lie (to the Messengers)3

(38:17) (O Prophet), bear with patience what they say,6 and call
to mind Our servant David,7 who was endowed with great strength8
and who constantly turned (to Allah).

(38:18) With him We had subjected the mountains that they join him in celebrating
Allah's glory, evening and morning,

(38:19) and the birds, too, in their flocks, and turn again and again to
celebrating Allah's glory.9

(38:20) And We strengthened his kingdom and endowed him with wisdom and decisive
judgement.0

(38:21) Has the story of the litigants reached you � of those who entered
his private chambers by climbing over the wall?1

(38:24) David said: “He has certainly wronged you in seeking to add your
ewe to his ewes;5 and indeed many who live together commit excesses,
one to the other, except those that believe and act righteously; and they are
but few.” (While so saying) David realized that it is We Who have put him to
test; therefore, he sought the forgiveness of his Lord, and fell down, bowing
and penitently turning (to Him).6

(38:25) Thereupon We forgave him his shortcoming and indeed (an exalted position
of) nearness awaits him, and an excellent resort.7

(38:29) This is the Blessed Book1 that We have revealed to you,
(O Muhammad), that people with understanding may reflect over its verses and
those with understanding derive a lesson.

(38:30) We bestowed upon David (an illustrious son), Solomon.2
How excellent a servant (of Ours he was)! Indeed he constantly turned to Us
in devotion.

(38:31) And when one evening well-trained and running horses of noble breed
were brought to him3

(38:33) (he ordered): “Bring these horses back to me,” and then he began
to gently stroke their shanks and necks.5

(38:34) Surely We put Solomon to the test and cast upon his throne a mere
body. Thereupon he penitently turned (to Us).
Verse 37

(38:37) and We also subjected the devils to him � all kinds of builders and
divers;

(38:40) Indeed an exalted position of nearness awaits him and an excellent
resort.0

(38:42) (We commanded him): “Stamp your foot on earth, and here is cool water
to wash with and to drink.”3

(38:43) And We granted to him his family and also the like of them,4
as a mercy from Us, and as a reminder to people of understanding,5

(38:44) (and We said to him): “Take in your hand a bundle of rushes and strike
with it, and do not break your oath.”6 Indeed We found him steadfast.
How excellent a servant (of Ours) he was. Indeed he constantly turned (to his
Lord).7

(38:45) And remember Our servants � Abraham, Isaac and Jacob � they were
endowed with great strength and vision.8

(38:46) Verily We exalted them in consideration of a sterling quality: their
remembrance of the Abode of the Hereafter.9

(38:52) and wherein there shall be with them well-matched, bashful mates.3

(38:55) All this (is for the God-fearing). But for the transgressors, an
evil resort awaits them �
Verse 56

(38:56) Hell, where they will be roasted. An evil place to dwell!
Verse 57

(38:57) All this (is for them); so let them taste boiling water and pus,4

(38:59) (Observing their followers advancing to Hell they will say, among
themselves: “This is a troop rushing in to you. There is no welcome for them.
They are destined to roast in the Fire.”

(38:63) Is it that we mistakenly made fun of them; or have they disappeared
from our sight?”

(38:64) Verily all this is true. This is how the inmates of the Fire will
dispute among themselves.

(38:66) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between
them, the Most Mighty, the Most Forgiving.”

(38:72) After I have created him and breathed into him of My spirit,1
fall you down, prostrating yourselves to him.”2
Verse 73

(38:73) Then the angels, all of them, prostrated themselves before Adam

(38:79) Satan said: “My Lord, then grant me respite till the Day that they
are raised up.”
Verse 80

(38:80) He said: “You are of those who have been granted respite
Verse 82

(38:82) (Iblis) said: “By Your glory, I shall mislead them all
Verse 83

(38:83) except those of Your servants, the chosen ones from amongst them.”8
Verse 84

(38:84) He (i.e. Allah) said: “This is the Truth � and I only speak the Truth

(38:85) I will certainly fill the Gehenna with you9 and with
all those among them who follow you.”0

(38:86) (O Prophet), tell them: “I do not ask you for any recompense for
the performance of this task;1 nor am I given to affectation.2

(38:87) This is nothing but an Admonition for all people the world over.
Verse 88

(38:88) You will know the truth of the matter after a while.”3
