1 The Enemy's Discomfiture
38:1 ›
صۤۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِی ٱلذِّكۡرِ ۝١
Muhammad Sarwar
Sad. I swear by the Quran, which is full of reminders of God, (that you are a Messenger)
sad wal-qur'āni dhī l-dhik'r
38:2 ›
بَلِ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِی عِزَّةࣲ وَشِقَاقࣲ ۝٢
Muhammad Sarwar
In fact, the unbelievers are the ones who are boastful and quarrelsome

38:3 ›
كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنࣲ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِینَ مَنَاصࣲ ۝٣
Muhammad Sarwar
How many ancient generations did We destroy? (On facing Our torment) they cried out for help, but it was too late for them to escape

38:4 ›
وَعَجِبُوۤا۟ أَن جَاۤءَهُم مُّنذِرࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَـٰحِرࣱ كَذَّابٌ ۝٤
Muhammad Sarwar
It seems strange to the pagans that a man from their own people should come to them as a Prophet. The unbelievers have said, "He is only a lying magician"
waʿajibū an jāahum mundhirun min'hum waqāla l-kāfirūna hādhā sāḥirun kadhābu
38:5 ›
أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡءَالِهَةَ إِلَـٰهࣰا وَ ٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَیۡءٌ عُجَابࣱ ۝٥
Muhammad Sarwar
They say, "Has he condemned all other gods but One? This is certainly strange"
ajaʿala l-ālihata ilāhan wāḥidan inna hādhā lashayon ʿujābu
38:6 ›
وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱمۡشُوا۟ وَٱصۡبِرُوا۟ عَلَىٰۤ ءَالِهَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَیۡءࣱ یُرَادُ ۝٦
Muhammad Sarwar
A group of the pagans walked out of a meeting with the Prophet and told the others, "Let us walk away. Be steadfast in the worship of your gods. This man wants to dominate you
wa-inṭalaqa l-mala-u min'hum ani im'shū wa-iṣ'birū ʿalā ālihatikum inna hādhā lashayon yurād
38:7 ›
مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَـٰذَا فِی ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَـٰذَاۤ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَـٰقٌ ۝٧
Muhammad Sarwar
We have heard nothing like this in the latest religion. This is only his own false invention

38:8 ›
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَیۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَیۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِی شَكࣲّ مِّن ذِكۡرِیۚ بَل لَّمَّا یَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِ ۝٨
Muhammad Sarwar
Can it be that he alone has received the Quran?" In fact, they have doubts about My Quran and this is because they have not yet faced (My) torment
a-unzila ʿalayhi l-dhik'ru min bayninā bal hum fī shakkin min dhik'rī bal lammā yadhūqū ʿadhāb
38:9 ›
أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَاۤىِٕنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡوَهَّابِ ۝٩
Muhammad Sarwar
Do they possess the treasures of the mercy of your, (Muhammad's), Lord, the Majestic and Munificent God

38:10 ›
أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡیَرۡتَقُوا۟ فِی ٱلۡأَسۡبَـٰبِ ۝١٠
Muhammad Sarwar
Do they own the heavens and the earth and all that is between them? Let them try on their own to block (the ways of heavens so that Our revelations cannot come to you)
am lahum mul'ku l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā falyartaqū fī l-asbāb
38:11 ›

Muhammad Sarwar
The people of Noah, Ad and the dominating Pharaoh had rejected Our revelations
kadhabat qablahum qawmu nūḥin waʿādun wafir'ʿawnu dhū l-awtād
38:13 ›
وَثَمُودُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطࣲ وَأَصۡحَـٰبُ لۡءَیۡكَةِۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ ۝١٣
Muhammad Sarwar
So also did the people of Thamud, Lot, and the dwellers of the Forest
wathamūdu waqawmu lūṭin wa-aṣḥābu al'aykati ulāika l-aḥzāb
38:14 ›
إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ ۝١٤
Muhammad Sarwar
Each of them who rejected the Messenger become subject to Our punishment
in kullun illā kadhaba l-rusula faḥaqqa ʿiqāb

وَمَا یَنظُرُ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ إِلَّا صَیۡحَةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقࣲ ۝١٥
Muhammad Sarwar
They had only to wait for the single inevitable blast

Muhammad Sarwar
(Muhammad), bear patiently what they say and recall Our servant, David, who had strong hands and who was most repentant

إِنَّا سَخَّرۡنَا ٱلۡجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ یُسَبِّحۡنَ بِٱلۡعَشِیِّ وَٱلۡإِشۡرَاقِ ۝١٨
Muhammad Sarwar
We made the mountains join him in glorifying Us in the evening and in the morning
innā sakharnā l-jibāla maʿahu yusabbiḥ'na bil-ʿashiyi wal-ish'rāq

Muhammad Sarwar
David said, "He has certainly been unjust in demanding your ewe from you. Most partners transgress against each other except for the righteously striving believers who are very few."
