{15} وَمَا يَنْظُرُ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً مَا لَهَا مِنْ فَوَاقٍ

These (to-day) only wait for a single mighty Blast, which (when it comes) will brook no delay.
{16} وَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ

They say: "Our Lord! hasten to us our sentence (Even) before the Day of Account!"
{1} ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ

Sad: by the Qur-an, Full of Admonition: (this is the Truth).
{2} بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ

But the Unbelievers (are steeped) in Self-glory and Separatism.
{3} كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوْا وَلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

How many generations before them did We destroy? In the end they cried (for mercy), when there was no longer time for being saved!
{4} وَعَجِبُوا أَنْ جَاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْ وَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

So they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves! And the Unbelievers say, "This is a sorcerer telling lies!

But there; will be put to flight even a host of confederates.

Before them (were many who) rejected Messengers, - the People of Nuh, and 'Ad, and Fir'aun the Lord of Stakes -
{13} وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ أُولَئِكَ الْأَحْزَابُ

And Thamud, and the People of Lut, and the Companions of the Wood; such were the Confederates.
{14} إِنْ كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

Not one (of them) but rejected the Messengers, but My Punishment came justly and inevitably (on them).

And the leaders among them go away (impatiently), (saying), "Walk ye away, and remain constant to your gods! for this is truly a thing designed (against you)!

Or have they the Treasures of the Mercy of thy Lord, the Exalted in Power, the Grantor of Bounties without measure?

{17} اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُدَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ

Have patience at what they say, and remember Our Servant Dawud, the man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah).
{18} إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهُ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِشْرَاقِ

It was We that made the hills declare, in unison with him, Our Praises, at eventide and at break of day,
{19} وَالطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةً كُلٌّ لَهُ أَوَّابٌ

And the birds gathered (in assemblies): all with him did turn (to Allah).
{20} وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ

We strengthened his kingdom, and gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and decision.
{21} وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ نَبَأُ الْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا الْمِحْرَابَ

Has the story of the Disputants reached thee? Behold, they climbed over the wall of the private chamber;
{22} إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ خَصْمَانِ بَغَى بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَا إِلَى سَوَاءِ الصِّرَاطِ

When they entered the presence of Dawud, and he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not: we are two disputants, one of whom has wronged the other: decide now between us with Truth, and treat us not with injustice, but guide us to the even Path.
{23} إِنَّ هَذَا أَخِي لَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي الْخِطَابِ

"This man is my brother: he has nine and ninety ewes, and I have (but) one: yet he says, `Commit her to my care,' and is (moreover) harsh to me in speech."
{24} قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَى نِعَاجِهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْخُلَطَاءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ وَظَنَّ دَاوُدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ

(Dawud) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes; truly many are the Partners (in business) who wrong each other: not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?" And Dawud gathered that We had tried him: he asked Forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance).
{25} فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفَى وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ

So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful Place of (final) Return.
{26} يَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ

O Dawud! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in Truth (and justice): nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.

Not without purpose did We create heaven and earth and all between! that were the thought of Unbelievers! but woe to the Unbelievers because of the Fire (of Hell)!

Shall We treat those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the same as those who do mischief on earth? Shall We treat those who guard against evil, the same as those who turn aside from the right?

To Dawud We gave Sulaiman (for a son), how excellent in Our service! ever did he turn (to Us)!

Behold, there were brought before him, at eventide, coursers of the highest breeding, and swift of foot;
{32} فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ

And he said, "Truly do I love the love of Good, with a view to the glory of my Lord," until (the sun) was hidden in the veil (of Night):

"Such are Our Bounties: whether thou bestow them (on others) or withhold them, no account will be asked."

Commemorate Our Servant Ayyub. Behold he cried to his Lord: "The Evil One has afflicted me with distress and suffering!"

(The command was given:) "Strike with thy foot: here is (water) wherein to wash, cool and refreshing and (water) to drink."

"Bring them back to me." Then began he to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks.

And We did try Sulaiman: We placed on his throne a body (without life): but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):
{35} قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

He said: "O my Lord! forgive me, and grant me a Kingdom which, (it may be), suits not another after me: for Thou are the Grantor of Bounties (without measure).
{36} فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّيحَ تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَاءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ

Then We subjected the Wind to his power, to flow gently to his order, whithersoever he willed,

The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

Verily it is We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth: so serve Allah, offering Him sincere devotion.
{3} أَلَا لِلَّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ

Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors others than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.
{4} لَوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَاصْطَفَى مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ سُبْحَانَهُ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ

Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.

He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law) each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power, He Who forgives again and again?
