# Quran (Progressive Muslims Organization)/38
## 1-14

| | In the name of God, the Almighty, the Most Merciful. | Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi |
| 038:001 | S', and the Quran that contains the remembrance. | Sad waalqur-ani thee alththikri |
| 038:002 | Indeed, those who have disbelieved are in false pride and defiance. | Bali allatheena kafaroo fee AAizzatin washiqaqin |
| 038:003 | How many a generation have We destroyed before them. And they called out when it was far too late. | Kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarnin fanadaw walata heena manasin |
| 038:004 | And they were surprised that a warner has come to them from among themselves. And the rejecters said: "This is a magician, a liar." | WaAAajiboo an jaahum munthirun minhum waqala alkafiroona hatha sahirun kaththabun |
| 038:005 | "Has he made the gods into One god? This is indeed a strange thing!" | AjaAAala al-alihata ilahan wahidan inna hatha lashay-on AAujabun |
| 038:006 | And the leaders among them went out: "Walk away, and remain patient to your gods. This thing can be turned back." | Waintalaqa almalao minhum ani imshoo waisbiroo AAala alihatikum inna hatha lashay-on yuradu |
| 038:007 | "We never heard of this from the people before us. This is but an innovation." | Ma samiAAna bihatha fee almillati al-akhirati in hatha illa ikhtilaqun |
| 038:008 | "Has the remembrance been sent down to him, from between all of us!" Indeed, they are doubtful of My reminder. Indeed, they have not yet tasted My retribution. | Aonzila AAalayhi alththikru min baynina bal hum fee shakkin min thikree bal lamma yathooqoo AAathabi |
| 038:009 | Or do they have the treasures of mercy of your Lord, the Noble, the Grantor. | Am AAindahum khaza-inu rahmati rabbika alAAazeezi alwahhabi |
| 038:010 | Or do they possess the dominion of the heavens and the Earth, and all that is between them? Then let them bring their own solutions. | Am lahum mulku alssamawati waal-ardi wama baynahuma falyartaqoo fee al-asbabi |
| 038:011 | The opposing troops they have gathered will be defeated. | Jundun ma hunalika mahzoomun mina al-ahzabi |
| 038:012 | Disbelieving before them were the people of Noah, 'Aad, and Pharaoh with the planks. | Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waAAadun wafirAAawnu thoo al-awtadi |
| 038:013 | And Thamud, and the people of Lot, the dwellers of the Woods; such were the opponents. | Wathamoodu waqawmu lootin waas-habu al-aykati ola-ika al-ahzabu |
| 038:014 | Each of them disbelieved the messengers, therefore My retribution came to be. | In kullun illa kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa AAiqabi |

## 15-26

| 038:015 | And what these people are waiting for is a single scream, from which they will not recover. | Wama yanthuru haola-i illa sayhatan wahidatan ma laha min fawaqin |
| 038:016 | And they said: "Our Lord, hasten for us our punishment, before the Day of Reckoning." | Waqaloo rabbana AAajjil lana qittana qabla yawmi alhisabi |
| 038:017 | Be patient to what they say, and recall Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient. | Isbir AAala ma yaqooloona waothkur AAabdana dawooda tha al-aydi innahu awwabun |
| 038:018 | We committed the mountains to glorify with him, during dusk and dawn. | Inna sakhkharna aljibala maAAahu yusabbihna bialAAashiyyi waal-ishraqi |
| 038:019 | And the birds were gathered; all were obedient to him. | Waalttayra mahshooratan kullun lahu awwabun |
| 038:020 | And We strengthened his kingship, and We gave him the wisdom and the ability to make sound judgement. | Washadadna mulkahu waataynahu alhikmata wafasla alkhitabi |
| 038:021 | Did the news come to you of the disputing party who came over into the temple enclosure? | Wahal ataka nabao alkhasmi ith tasawwaroo almihraba |
| 038:022 | When they entered upon David, he was startled by them. They said: "Have no fear. We are two who have disputed, and one has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth, and do not wrong us, and guide us to the right path." | Ith dakhaloo AAala dawooda fafaziAAa minhum qaloo la takhaf khasmani bagha baAAduna AAala baAAdin faohkum baynana bialhaqqi wala tushtit waihdina ila sawa-i alssirati |
| 038:023 | "This is my brother and he owns ninety nine lambs, while I own one lamb; so he said to me: 'Let me take care of it' and he pressured me." | Inna hatha akhee lahu tisAAun watisAAoona naAAjatan waliya naAAjatun wahidatun faqala akfilneeha waAAazzanee fee alkhitabi |
| 038:024 | He said: "He has wronged you by asking to combine your lambs with his lambs. And many who mix their properties take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good works, and these are very few." And David guessed that We had tested him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down kneeling, and repented. | Qala laqad thalamaka bisu-ali naAAjatika ila niAAajihi wa-inna katheeran mina alkhulata-i layabghee baAAduhum AAala baAAdin illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati waqaleelun ma hum wathanna dawoodu annama fatannahu faistaghfara rabbahu wakharra rakiAAan waanaba |
| 038:025 | So We forgave him in this matter. And for him with Us is a near position, and a beautiful abode. | Faghafarna lahu thalika wa-inna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maabin |
| 038:026 | O David, We have made you a successor on Earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people with truth, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from the path of God. Indeed, those who stray off the path of God will have a severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning. | Ya dawoodu inna jaAAalnaka khaleefatan fee al-ardi faohkum bayna alnnasi bialhaqqi wala tattabiAAi alhawa fayudillaka AAan sabeeli Allahi inna allatheena yadilloona AAan sabeeli Allahi lahum AAathabun shadeedun bima nasoo yawma alhisabi |

## 27-40

| 038:027 | And We did not create the heaven and the Earth, and everything between them, in vain. Such is the thinking of those who rejected. Therefore, woe to those who have rejected from the Fire. | Wama khalaqna alssamaa waal-arda wama baynahuma batilan thalika thannu allatheena kafaroo fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo mina alnnari |
| 038:028 | Or shall We treat those who believe and do good works as We treat those who make corruption on Earth? Or shall We treat the righteous as the wicked? | Am najAAalu allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati kaalmufsideena fee al-ardi am najAAalu almuttaqeena kaalfujjari |
| 038:029 | A Scripture that We have sent down to you, that is blessed, so that they may reflect upon its verses, and so that those with intelligence will take heed. | Kitabun anzalnahu ilayka mubarakun liyaddabbaroo ayatihi waliyatathakkara oloo al-albabi |
| 038:030 | And to David We granted Solomon. What an excellent and obedient servant. | Wawahabna lidawooda sulaymana niAAma alAAabdu innahu awwabun |
| 038:031 | When, during sunset, well trained horses were displayed before him. | Ith AAurida AAalayhi bialAAashiyyi alssafinatu aljiyadu |
| 038:032 | He said: "I enjoyed the good of materialism more than I enjoyed remembering my Lord, until it became totally dark!" | Faqala innee ahbabtu hubba alkhayri AAan thikri rabbee hatta tawarat bialhijabi |
| 038:033 | "Send them back." He then rubbed their legs and necks. | Ruddooha AAalayya fatafiqa mashan bialssooqi waal-aAAnaqi |
| 038:034 | And We tested Solomon and placed a corpse on his throne, but he then repented. | Walaqad fatanna sulaymana waalqayna AAala kursiyyihi jasadan thumma anaba |
| 038:035 | He said: "My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingship that will never be attained by anyone after me. You are the Grantor." | Qala rabbi ighfir lee wahab lee mulkan la yanbaghee li-ahadin min baAAdee innaka anta alwahhabu |
| 038:036 | So, We committed the wind to run by his command, raining gently where he directed it. | Fasakhkharna lahu alrreeha tajree bi-amrihi rukhaan haythu asaba |
| 038:037 | And the devils, building and diving. | Waalshshayateena kulla banna-in waghawwasin |
| 038:038 | And others, held by restraints. | Waakhareena muqarraneena fee al-asfadi |
| 038:039 | "This is Our gift, so you may spend or withhold, without any repercussions." | Hatha AAataona faomnun aw amsik bighayri hisabin |
| 038:040 | And he has deserved a near position with Us, and a wonderful abode. | Wa-inna lahu AAindana lazulfa wahusna maabin |

## 41-64

| 038:041 | And recall Our servant Job, when he called upon his Lord: "The devil has afflicted me with an illness and pain." | Waothkur AAabdana ayyooba ith nada rabbahu annee massaniya alshshaytanu binusbin waAAathabin |
| 038:042 | "Strike with your foot, here is a cold spring to wash with and to drink." | Orkud birijlika hatha mughtasalun baridun washarabun |
| 038:043 | And We restored his family to him along with a group like them, as a mercy from Us; and a reminder for those who possess intelligence. | Wawahabna lahu ahlahu wamithlahum maAAahum rahmatan minna wathikra li-olee al-albabi |
| 038:044 | "And take in your hand a bundle and travel with it, and do not break your oath." We found him steadfast. What a good servant! He was obedient. | Wakhuth biyadika dighthan faidrib bihi wala tahnath inna wajadnahu sabiran niAAma alAAabdu innahu awwabun |
| 038:045 | And recall Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They were resourceful, and with vision. | Waothkur AAibadana ibraheema wa-ishaqa wayaAAqooba olee al-aydee waal-absari |
| 038:046 | We had chosen them to enforce awareness of the Hereafter. | Inna akhlasnahum bikhalisatin thikra alddari |
| 038:047 | And they are with Us of the elite, the best. | Wa-innahum AAindana lamina almustafayna al-akhyari |
| 038:048 | And recall Ishmael, Elisha, and Isaiah; all are among the best. | Waothkur ismaAAeela wa-ilyasaAAa watha alkifli wakullun mina al-akhyari |
| 038:049 | This is a reminder, and the righteous will have a wonderful abode. | Hatha thikrun wa-inna lilmuttaqeena lahusna maabin |
| 038:050 | The gardens of Eden, whose gates will be open for them. | Jannati AAadnin mufattahatan lahumu al-abwabu |
| 038:051 | Reclining therein, they will be invited to many fruits and drinks. | Muttaki-eena feeha yadAAoona feeha bifakihatin katheeratin washarabin |
| 038:052 | And with them are attendants with a splendid look and of equal age. | WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi atrabun |
| 038:053 | This is what you have been promised for the Day of Reckoning. | Hatha ma tooAAadoona liyawmi alhisabi |
| 038:054 | Such is Our provisions, it does not run out. | Inna hatha larizquna ma lahu min nafadin |
| 038:055 | This is so, and for the transgressors is a miserable destiny. | Hatha wa-inna lilttagheena lasharra maabin |
| 038:056 | Hell is where they burn. What a miserable abode! | Jahannama yaslawnaha fabi/sa almihadu |
| 038:057 | This is so, and let them taste a boiling drink and bitter food. | Hatha falyathooqoohu hameemun waghassaqun |
| 038:058 | And other multitudes that are similar to that. | Waakharu min shaklihi azwajun |
| 038:059 | Here is another group to be thrown into Hell with you. "We have no welcome for them, for they shall burn in the Fire." | Hatha fawjun muqtahimun maAAakum la marhaban bihim innahum saloo alnnari |
| 038:060 | They said: "No, you are the ones without welcome. It was you who misled us, so here is the result!" | Qaloo bal antum la marhaban bikum antum qaddamtumoohu lana fabi/sa alqararu |
| 038:061 | They said: "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us, then double their retribution in the Fire!" | Qaloo rabbana man qaddama lana hatha fazidhu AAathaban diAAfan fee alnnari |
| 038:062 | And they said: "Why do we not see some men whom we used to count among the wicked?" | Waqaloo ma lana la nara rijalan kunna naAAudduhum mina al-ashrari |
| 038:063 | "Did we mock them erroneously, or have our eyes failed to find them?" | Attakhathnahum sikhriyyan am zaghat AAanhumu al-absaru |
| 038:064 | Surely, this is in truth the feuding of the people of Hell. | Inna thalika lahaqqun takhasumu ahli alnnari |

## 65-88

| 038:065 | Say: "I am but a warner; and there is no god besides God, the One, the Supreme." | Qul innama ana munthirun wama min ilahin illa Allahu alwahidu alqahharu |
| 038:066 | "The Lord of the heavens and the Earth, and everything between them; the Noble, the Forgiving." | Rabbu alssamawati waal-ardi wama baynahuma alAAazeezu alghaffaru |
| 038:067 | Say: "It is an awesome news." | Qul huwa nabaon AAatheemun |
| 038:068 | "From which you turn away." | Antum AAanhu muAAridoona |
| 038:069 | "I had no knowledge of the command up high, that they had quarrelled." | Ma kana liya min AAilmin bialmala-i al-aAAla ith yakhtasimoona |
| 038:070 | "It is only inspired to me that I am a clear warner." | In yooha ilayya illa annama ana natheerun mubeenun |
| 038:071 | For your Lord said to the Angels: "I am creating a human being from clay." | Ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikati innee khaliqun basharan min teenin |
| 038:072 | "So when I have evolved him, and breathed into him from My spirit, then you shall submit to him." | Fa-itha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena |
| 038:073 | The Angels submitted, all of them, | Fasajada almala-ikatu kulluhum ajmaAAoona |
| 038:074 | Except Satan; he turned arrogant, and became one of the rejecters. | Illa ibleesa istakbara wakana mina alkafireena |
| 038:075 | He said: "O Satan, what prevented you from submitting to what I have created by My hands? Are you too arrogant? Or are you one of those exalted?" | Qala ya ibleesu ma manaAAaka an tasjuda lima khalaqtu biyadayya astakbarta am kunta mina alAAaleena |
| 038:076 | He said: "I am better than he; You created me from fire, and created him from clay." | Qala ana khayrun minhu khalaqtanee min narin wakhalaqtahu min teenin |
| 038:077 | He said: "Therefore exit from it, you are outcast." | Qala faokhruj minha fa-innaka rajeemun |
| 038:078 | "And My curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment." | Wa-inna AAalayka laAAnatee ila yawmi alddeeni |
| 038:079 | He said: "My Lord, respite me till the Day they are resurrected." | Qala rabbi faanthirnee ila yawmi yubAAathoona |
| 038:080 | He said: "You are respited." | Qala fa-innaka mina almunthareena |
| 038:081 | "Until the appointed Day." | Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloomi |
| 038:082 | He said: "By Your majesty, I will mislead them all." | Qala fabiAAizzatika laoghwiyannahum ajmaAAeena |
| 038:083 | "Except for Your servants who are loyal." | Illa AAibadaka minhumu almukhlaseena |
| 038:084 | He said: "The truth, and the truth is what I say" | Qala faalhaqqu waalhaqqa aqoolu |
| 038:085 | "That I will fill Hell with you and all those who follow you." | Laamlaanna jahannama minka wamimman tabiAAaka minhum ajmaAAeena |
| 038:086 | Say: "I do not ask you for any wage, nor am I a fraud." | Qul ma as-alukum AAalayhi min ajrin wama ana mina almutakallifeena |
| 038:087 | "It is but a reminder for the worlds." | In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena |
| 038:088 | "And you will come to know its news after awhile." | WalataAAlamunna nabaahu baAAda heenin |
