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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

38:24 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.

38:26 "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."

38:28 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?

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

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;

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

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

38:38 And others bound in chains.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

38:68 You from it turn away

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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