Translation of Surah Sad in الإنجليزية from Dr. Mustafa Khattab - English translation
ﰡ
Verse 1
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕ
ﭖ
Sad
Ṣãd. By the Quran, full of reminders!
Verse 2
ﭗﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜ
ﭝ
˹This is the truth,˺ yet the disbelievers are ˹entrenched˺ in arrogance and opposition.
Verse 3
˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was too late to escape.
Verse 4
Now, the pagans are astonished that a warner has come to them from among themselves.1 And the disbelievers say, “This is a magician, a total liar!
Verse 5
Has he reduced ˹all˺ the gods to One God? Indeed, this is something totally astonishing.”
Verse 6
The chiefs among them went forth saying, “Carry on, and stand firm in devotion to your gods. Certainly this is just a scheme ˹for power˺.1
Verse 7
We have never heard of this in the previous faith.1 This is nothing but a fabrication.
Verse 8
Has the Reminder been revealed ˹only˺ to him out of ˹all of˺ us?” In fact, they are ˹only˺ in doubt of My ˹revealed˺ Reminder.1 In fact, ˹they do so because˺ they have not yet tasted My punishment.
Verse 9
Or ˹is it because˺ they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord—the Almighty, the Giver ˹of all bounties˺.
Verse 10
Or ˹is it because˺ the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between belongs to them? Let them then climb their way ˹to heaven, if their claim is true˺.
Verse 11
ﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤ
ﯥ
This is just another ˹enemy˺ force bound for defeat out there.1
Verse 12
Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺, as did ’Âd, Pharaoh of the mighty structures,1
Verse 13
Thamûd, the people of Lot, and the residents of the Forest.1 These were ˹all˺ enemy forces.
Verse 14
Each rejected their messenger, so My punishment was justified.
Verse 15
These ˹pagans˺ are awaiting nothing but a single Blast that cannot be stopped.
Verse 16
They say ˹mockingly˺, “Our Lord! Hasten for us our share ˹of the punishment˺ before the Day of Reckoning.”
Verse 17
Be patient ˹O Prophet˺ with what they say. And remember Our servant, David, the man of strength. Indeed, he ˹constantly˺ turned ˹to Allah˺.
Verse 18
We truly subjected the mountains to hymn ˹Our praises˺ along with him in the evening and after sunrise.
Verse 19
ﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫ
ﭬ
And ˹We subjected˺ the birds, flocking together. All turned to him ˹echoing his hymns˺.
Verse 20
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲ
ﭳ
We strengthened his kingship, and gave him wisdom and sound judgment.
Verse 21
Has the story of the two plaintiffs, who scaled the ˹wall of David’s˺ sanctuary, reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
Verse 22
When they came into David’s presence, he was startled by them. They said, “Have no fear. ˹We are merely˺ two in a dispute: one of us has wronged the other. So judge between us with truth—do not go beyond ˹it˺—and guide us to the right way.
Verse 23
This is my brother.1 He has ninety-nine sheep while I have ˹only˺ one. ˹Still˺ he asked me to give it up to him, overwhelming me with ˹his˺ argument.”
Verse 24
David ˹eventually˺ ruled, “He has definitely wronged you in demanding ˹to add˺ your sheep to his. And certainly many partners wrong each other, except those who believe and do good—but how few are they!” Then David realized that We had tested him so he asked for his Lord’s forgiveness, fell down in prostration, and turned ˹to Him in repentance˺.
Verse 25
So We forgave that for him. And he will indeed have ˹a status of˺ closeness to Us and an honourable destination!
Verse 26
˹We instructed him:˺ “O David! We have surely made you an authority in the land, so judge between people with truth. And do not follow ˹your˺ desires or they will lead you astray from Allah’s Way. Surely those who go astray from Allah’s Way will suffer a severe punishment for neglecting the Day of Reckoning.”
Verse 27
We have not created the heavens and earth and everything in between without purpose—as the disbelievers think. So woe to the disbelievers because of the Fire!
Verse 28
Or should We treat those who believe and do good like those who make mischief throughout the land? Or should We treat the righteous like the wicked?
Verse 29
˹This is˺ a blessed Book which We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ so that they may contemplate its verses, and people of reason may be mindful.
Verse 30
And We blessed David with Solomon—what an excellent servant ˹he was˺! Indeed, he ˹constantly˺ turned ˹to Allah˺.
Verse 31
ﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊ
ﮋ
˹Remember˺ when the well-trained, swift horses were paraded before him in the evening.
Verse 32
He then proclaimed, “I am truly in love with ˹these˺ fine things out of remembrance for Allah,” until they went out of sight.
Verse 33
˹He ordered,˺ “Bring them back to me!” Then he began to rub down their legs and necks.1
Verse 34
And indeed, We tested Solomon, placing a ˹deformed˺ body on his throne,1 then he turned ˹to Allah in repentance˺.
Verse 35
He prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me, and grant me an authority that will never be matched by anyone after me. You are indeed the Giver ˹of all bounties˺.”
Verse 36
So We subjected to him the wind, blowing gently at his command to wherever he pleased.
Verse 37
ﯥﯦﯧﯨ
ﯩ
And ˹We subjected to him˺ every builder and diver1 of the jinn,
Verse 38
ﯪﯫﯬﯭ
ﯮ
and others bound together in chains.
Verse 39
˹Allah said,˺ “This is Our gift, so give or withhold ˹as you wish˺, never to be called to account.”
Verse 40
ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼ
ﯽ
And he will indeed have ˹a status of˺ closeness to Us and an honourable destination!
Verse 41
And remember Our servant Job, when he cried out to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with distress and suffering.”
Verse 42
˹We responded,˺ “Stomp your foot: ˹now˺ here is a cool ˹and refreshing˺ spring for washing and drinking.”
Verse 43
And We gave him back his family, twice as many, as a mercy from Us and a lesson for people of reason.
Verse 44
˹And We said to him,˺ “Take in your hand a bundle of grass, and strike ˹your wife˺ with it, and do not break your oath.”1 We truly found him patient. What an excellent servant ˹he was˺! Indeed, he ˹constantly˺ turned ˹to Allah˺.
Verse 45
And remember Our servants: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the men of strength and insight.
Verse 46
ﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺ
ﭻ
We truly chose them for the honour of proclaiming the Hereafter.
Verse 47
ﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ
ﮁ
And in Our sight they are truly among the chosen and the finest.
Verse 48
Also remember Ishmael, Elisha, and Ⱬul-Kifl.1 All are among the best.
Verse 49
This is ˹all˺ a reminder. And the righteous will certainly have an honourable destination:
Verse 50
ﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘ
ﮙ
the Gardens of Eternity, whose gates will be open for them.
Verse 51
There they will recline, calling for abundant fruit and drink.
Verse 52
ﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦ
ﮧ
And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and equal age.
Verse 53
ﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬ
ﮭ
This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning.
Verse 54
This is indeed Our provision that will never end.
Verse 55
ﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜ
ﯝ
That is that. And the transgressors will certainly have the worst destination:
Verse 56
ﯞﯟﯠﯡ
ﯢ
Hell, where they will burn. What an evil place to rest!
Verse 57
ﯣﯤﯥﯦ
ﯧ
Let them then taste this: boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus,
Verse 58
ﯨﯩﯪﯫ
ﯬ
and other torments of the same sort!
Verse 59
˹The misleaders will say to one another,˺ “Here is a crowd ˹of followers˺ being thrown in with us. They are not welcome, ˹for˺ they ˹too˺ will burn in the Fire.”1
Verse 60
The followers will respond, “No! You are not welcome! You brought this upon us. What an evil place for settlement!”
Verse 61
Adding, “Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, double their punishment in the Fire.”
Verse 62
The tyrants will ask ˹one another˺, “But why do we not see those we considered to be lowly?
Verse 63
ﭜﭝﭞﭟﭠﭡ
ﭢ
Were we wrong in mocking them ˹in the world˺?1 Or do our eyes ˹just˺ fail to see them ˹in the Fire˺?”
Verse 64
ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨ
ﭩ
This dispute between the residents of the Fire will certainly come to pass.
Verse 65
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I am only a warner. And there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah—the One, the Supreme.
Verse 66
˹He is the˺ Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between—the Almighty, Most Forgiving.”
Verse 67
ﭿﮀﮁﮂ
ﮃ
Say, “This ˹Quran˺ is momentous news,
Verse 68
ﮄﮅﮆ
ﮇ
from which you ˹pagans˺ are turning away.”
Verse 69
˹And say,˺ “I had no knowledge of the highest assembly ˹in heaven˺ when they differed ˹concerning Adam˺.1
Verse 70
What is revealed to me is that I am only sent with a clear warning.”
Verse 71
˹Remember, O Prophet˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from clay.
Verse 72
So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ˹creation˺ breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.”
Verse 73
ﮯﮰﮱﯓ
ﯔ
So the angels prostrated all together—
Verse 74
ﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚ
ﯛ
but not Iblîs,1 who acted arrogantly,2 becoming unfaithful.
Verse 75
Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My Own Hands? Did you ˹just˺ become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?”
Verse 76
He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”
Verse 77
ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻ
ﯼ
Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed.
Verse 78
ﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂ
ﰃ
And surely upon you is My condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”
Verse 79
ﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉ
ﰊ
Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
Verse 80
ﰋﰌﰍﰎ
ﰏ
Allah said, “You will be delayed
Verse 81
ﰐﰑﰒﰓ
ﰔ
until the appointed Day.”
Verse 82
ﰕﰖﰗﰘ
ﰙ
Satan said, “By Your Glory! I will certainly mislead them all,
Verse 83
ﰚﰛﰜﰝ
ﰞ
except Your chosen servants among them.”
Verse 84
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ
ﭕ
Allah concluded, “The truth is—and I ˹only˺ say the truth—:
Verse 85
I will surely fill up Hell with you and whoever follows you from among them, all together.”
Verse 86
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹Quran˺, nor do I pretend to be someone I am not.
Verse 87
ﭩﭪﭫﭬﭭ
ﭮ
It is only a reminder to the whole world.
Verse 88
ﭯﭰﭱﭲ
ﭳ
And you will certainly know its truth before long.”
