Quran 38, Sad (Dawood) ⓘ

38:1Sad. By the renowned Qur'an,

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ

38:2Nay, but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism.

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ

38:3How many a generation We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was no longer the time for escape!

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوْا وَلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

38:4And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.

وَعَجِبُوا أَنْ جَاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

38:5Maketh he the gods One Allah? Lo! that is an astounding thing.

أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ

38:6The chiefs among them go about, exhorting: Go and be staunch to your gods! Lo! this is a thing designed.

وَانْطَلَقَ الْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ امْشُوا وَاصْبِرُوا عَلَى آلِهَتِكُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ يُرَادُ

38:7We have not heard of this in later religion. This is naught but an invention.

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَذَا فِي الْمِلَّةِ الْآخِرَةِ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ
