38:1   Saad. By the Quran full (of) the reminder.

38:2   Nay, those who disbelieve (are) in self-glory and opposition.

38:3   How many We destroyed from before them of a generation, then they called out when there (was) no longer time (for) escape.

38:4   And they wonder that has come to them a warner from themselves. And said the disbelievers, "This (is) a magician, a liar.

38:5   Has he made the gods (into) god one? Indeed this (is) certainly a thing curious."

38:6   And went forth the chiefs among them that, "Continue, and be patient over your gods. Indeed, this (is) certainly a thing intended.

38:7   Not we heard of this in the religion the last. Not (is) this but a fabrication.

38:8   Has been revealed to him the Message from among us?" Nay, They (are) in doubt about My Message. Nay, not yet they have tasted My punishment.

38:9   Or have they (the) treasures (of the) Mercy (of) your Lord the All-Mighty, the Bestower?

38:10   Or for them (is the) dominion (of) the heavens and the earth and whatever (is) between them? Then let them ascend by the means.

38:11   Soldiers - from there (they will be) defeated among the companies.

38:12   Denied before them (the) people (of) Nuh and Aad and Firaun, (the) owner (of) the stakes.

38:13   And Thamud and (the) people (of) Lut and (the) companions (of) the wood. Those (were) the companies.

38:14   Not all (of them) but denied the Messengers, so (was) just My penalty.

38:15   And not await these but a shout one; not for it any delay.

38:16   And they say, "Our Lord! Hasten for us our share before (the) Day (of) the Account."

38:17   Be patient over what they say, and remember Our slave, Dawood, the possessor of strength. Indeed, he (was) repeatedly turning.

38:18   Indeed, We subjected the mountains with him glorifying in the evening and [the] sunrise.

38:19   And the birds assembled, all with him repeatedly turning.

38:20   And We strengthened his kingdom and We gave him [the] wisdom and decisive speech.

38:21   And has (there) come to you (the) news (of) the litigants, when they climbed over the wall (of) the chamber?

38:22   When they entered upon Dawood and he was afraid of them, they said, "(Do) not fear. (We are) two litigants, has wronged one of us to another, so judge between us in truth and (do) not be unjust and guide us to an even [the] path.

38:23   Indeed, this (is) my brother, he has ninety (i.e ninety nine) and nine (i.e ninety nine) ewe(s) while I have ewe one; so he said, "Entrust her to me," and he overpowered me in [the] speech."

38:24   He said, "Certainly, he has wronged you by demanding your ewe to his ewes. And indeed, many of the partners certainly oppress some of them [on] another except those who believe and do righteous deeds and few (are) they." And became certain Dawood that We (had) tried him, and he asked forgiveness (of) his Lord and fell down bowing and turned in repentance.

38:25   So We forgave for him that. And indeed, for him with Us surely is a near access and a good place of return.

38:26   "O Dawood! Indeed, We [We] have made you a vicegerent in the earth, so judge between [the] men in truth and (do) not follow the desire, for it will lead you astray from (the) way (of) Allah. Indeed, those who go astray from (the) way (of) Allah, for them (is) a punishment severe because they forgot (the) Day (of) Account."

38:27   And not We created the heaven and the earth and whatever (is) between them without purpose. That (is the) assumption (of) those who disbelieve. So woe to those who disbelieve, from the Fire.

38:28   Or should We treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like those who spread corruption in the earth? Or should We treat the pious like the wicked?

38:29   (This is) a Book We have revealed it to you, blessed, that they may ponder (over) its Verses and may be reminded those of understanding.

38:30   And We gave to Dawood Sulaiman, an excellent slave. Indeed, he (was) one who repeatedly turned.

38:31   When were displayed to him in the afternoon (with) one foot raised (the) steeds.

38:32   And he said, "Indeed, I [I] preferred (the) love (of) the good over (the) remembrance (of) my Lord." Until they were hidden in the veil;

38:33   "Return them to me." Then he began (to) pass (his hand) over the legs and the necks.

38:34   And certainly We tried Sulaiman, and We placed on his throne a body; then he turned.

38:35   He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me and grant me a kingdom, not (will) belong to anyone from after me. Indeed, You [You] (are) the Bestower."

38:36   Then We subjected to him the wind to flow by his command, gently, wherever he directed,

38:37   And the devils, every builder and diver,

38:38   And others bound in chains.

38:39   "This (is) Our gift, so grant or withhold without account."

38:40   And indeed, for him with Us surely is a near access and a good place of return.

38:41   And remember Our slave Ayyub, when he called his Lord, "That [I], (has) touched me Shaitaan with distress and suffering."

38:42   "Strike with your foot. This (is a spring of) water to bathe, cool and a drink."

38:43   And We granted [to] him his family and a like of them with them, a Mercy from Us and a Reminder for those of understanding.

38:44   "And take in your hand a bunch and strike with it and (do) not break (your) oath." Indeed, We [We] found him patient, an excellent slave. Indeed, he repeatedly turned.

38:45   And remember Our slaves Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqub, possessors (of) strength and vision.

38:46   Indeed, We [We] chose them for an exclusive (quality); remembrance (of) the Home.

38:47   And indeed, they to Us (are) from the chosen ones, the best.

38:48   And remember Ismail and Al-Yasa and Dhul kifl, and all (are) from the best.

38:49   This (is) a Reminder. And indeed, for the righteous surely, is a good place of return,

38:50   Gardens (of) Eternity, (will be) opened for them the gates.

38:51   Reclining therein, they will call therein for fruit many and drink.

38:52   And with them (will be) ones who are restraining their glance well-matched.

38:53   This (is) what you are promised for (the) Day (of) Account.

38:54   Indeed, this (is) surely Our provision; not for it any depletion.

38:55   This (is so)! And indeed, for the transgressors surely (is) an evil place of return.

38:56   Hell; they will burn therein and wretched (is) the resting place.

38:57   This (is so)! Then let them taste it, boiling fluid and purulence.

38:58   And other of its type (of various) kinds.

38:59   This (is) a company bursting (in) with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they (will) burn (in) the Fire.

38:60   They say, "Nay! You - no welcome for you. You brought this upon us. So wretched (is) the settlement."

38:61   They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought upon us this; increase for him a punishment double in the Fire."

38:62   And they (will) say, "What (is) for us not we see men we used to count them among the bad ones?

38:63   Did we take them (in) ridicule or has turned away from them the vision?"

38:64   Indeed, that (is) surely (the) truth - (the) quarreling (of the) people (of) the Fire.

38:65   Say, "Only I am a warner, and not (is there) any god except Allah, the One the Irresistible,

38:66   Lord (of) the heavens and the earth and whatever (is) between them, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving."

38:67   Say, "It (is) a news great,

38:68   You from it turn away

38:69   Not is for me any knowledge (of) the chiefs, the exalted when they were disputing.

38:70   Not has been revealed to me except that only I am a warner clear."

38:71   When said your Lord to the Angels, "Indeed, I Am going to create a human being from clay.

38:72   So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down to him prostrating."

38:73   So prostrated the Angels all of them together.

38:74   Except Iblis; he was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

38:75   He said, "O Iblis! What prevented you that you (should) prostrate to (one) whom I created with My Hands? Are you arrogant or are you of the exalted ones."

38:76   He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and You created him from clay."

38:77   He said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you (are) accursed.

38:78   And indeed, upon you (is) My curse until (the) Day (of) Judgment."

38:79   He said, "My Lord! Then give me respite until (the) Day they are resurrected."

38:80   He said, "Then indeed, you (are) of those given respite,

38:81   Until (the) Day (of) the time well-known."

38:82   He said, "Then by Your might I will surely mislead them all.

38:83   Except Your slaves among them the chosen ones."

38:84   He said, "Then (it is) the truth and the truth I say,

38:85   Surely I will fill Hell with you and those who follow you among them all."

38:86   Say, "Not I ask of you for it any payment, and not I am of the ones who pretend.

38:87   Not it (is) except a Reminder to the worlds.

38:88   And surely you will know its information after a time."
