038:002 Maulana     Nay, those who disbelieve are in self-exaltation and opposition.

038:002 Pickthal      Nay, but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism.

038:002 Rashad       Those who disbelieve have plunged into arrogance and defiance.

038:002 Sarwar       In fact, the unbelievers are the ones who are boastful and quarrelsome.

038:002 Shakir        Nay! those who disbelieve are in self-exaltation and opposition.

038:005 Maulana     Makes he the gods a single God? Surely this is a strange thing.

038:005 Pickthal      Maketh he the gods One Allah? Lo! that is an astounding thing.

038:005 Rashad       "Did he make the gods into one god? This is really strange."

038:005 Sarwar       They say, "Has he condemned all other gods but One? This is certainly strange".

038:005 Shakir        What! makes he the gods a single Allah? A strange thing is this, to be sure!

038:005 Sherali       `What !  has he made all the gods into one God?  This is, indeed, an astounding thing.'

038:005 Yusufali     "Has he made the gods (all) into one Allah? Truly this is a wonderful thing!”

038:006

038:006 Khan          And the leaders among them went about (saying): "Go on, and remain constant to your aliha (gods)! Verily, This is a thing designed (against you)!

038:006 Maulana     And the chiefs among them say: Go and steadily adhere to your gods: surely this is a thing intended.

038:007 Maulana     We never heard of this in the former faith: this is nothing but a forgery.

038:007 Pickthal      We have not heard of this in later religion. This is naught but an invention.

038:007 Rashad       "We never heard of this from the religion of our fathers. This is a lie.

038:008 Rashad       "Why did the proof come down to him, instead of us?" Indeed, they are doubtful of My proof. Indeed, they have not yet tasted My retribution.

038:011 Maulana     What an army of the allies is here put to flight!

038:011 Pickthal      A defeated host are (all) the factions that are there.

038:011 Rashad       Instead, whatever forces they can muster - even if all their parties banded together - will be defeated.

038:013 Rashad       Also, Thamoud, the people of Lot, the dwellers of the Woods (of Midyan); those were the opponents.

038:014 Maulana     Not one of them but rejected the messengers, so just was My retribution.

038:014 Pickthal      Not one of them but did deny the messengers, therefor My doom was justified,

038:015 Maulana     And these wait but for one cry, wherein there is no delay.

038:015 Pickthal      These wait for but one Shout, there will be no second thereto.

038:015 Rashad       These people can expect a single blow, from which they never recover.

038:015 Sarwar       They had only to wait for the single inevitable blast.

038:015 Shakir        Nor do these await aught but a single cry, there being no delay in it.

038:015 Sherali       And these now wait only for a single blast, and there shall be no delaying it.

038:015 Yusufali     These (today) only wait for a single mighty Blast, which (when it comes) will brook no delay.

038:016 Maulana     And they say: Our Lord, hasten on for us our portion before the day of Reckoning.

038:016 Pickthal      They say: Our Lord! Hasten on for us our fate before the Day of Reckoning.

038:016 Rashad       They challenged: "Our Lord, why do you not rush the retribution for us, before the Day of Reckoning."

038:016 Sarwar       They scornfully said, "Lord, show us the record of our deeds before the day when everyone must present the account of their deeds.".

038:016 Shakir        And they say: O our Lord! hasten on to us our portion before the day of reckoning.

038:016 Sherali       They say, `O Lord, hasten to us our portion of the punishment before the Day of Reckoning.'

038:016 Yusufali     They say: "Our Lord! hasten to us our sentence (even) before the Day of Account!”

038:018 Maulana     Truly We made the mountains subject to him, glorifying (Allah) at nightfall and sunrise,

038:018 Pickthal      Lo! We subdued the hills to hymn the praises (of their Lord) with him at nightfall and sunrise,

038:018 Yusufali     It was We that made the hills declare, in unison with him, Our Praises, at eventide and at break of day,

038:021 Maulana     And has the story of the adversaries come to thee? When they made an entry into the private chamber by climbing the wall --

038:022 Maulana     When they came upon David so he was afraid of them. They said: Fear not; two litigants, of whom one has wronged the other, so decide between us with justice, and act not unjustly, and guide us to the right way.

038:022 Pickthal      How they burst in upon David, and he was afraid of them. They said: Be not afraid! (We are) two litigants, one of whom hath wronged the other, therefor judge aright between us; be not unjust; and show us the fair way.

038:022 Rashad       When they entered his room, he was startled. They said, "Have no fear. We are feuding with one another, and we are seeking your fair judgment. Do not wrong us, and guide us in the right path.

038:022 Sarwar       and entered where David was (praying). He was frightened, so they said, "Do not be afraid. We are only two disputing parties of which one of us has transgressed against the other. Judge between us with truth and justice and guide us to the right path".

038:022 Shakir        When they entered in upon Dawood and he was frightened at them, they said: Fear not; two litigants, of whom one has acted wrongfully towards the other, therefore decide between us with justice, and do not act unjustly, and guide us to the right way.

038:022 Sherali       When they entered in upon David, and he was afraid of them. They said, `Fear not. We are two disputants; one of us has transgressed against the other; so judge between us with justice, and deviate not from the right course and guide us to the right way.'

038:023

038:023 Khan          Verily, this my brother (in religion) has ninety nine ewes, while I have (only) one ewe, and he says: "Hand it over to me, and he overpowered me in speech."

038:023 Maulana     This is my brother. He has ninety-nine ewes and I have a single ewe. Then he said, Make it over to me, and he has prevailed against me in dispute.

038:023 Pickthal      Lo! this my brother hath ninety and nine ewes while I had one ewe; and he said: Entrust it to me, and he conquered me in speech.

038:023 Rashad       "This brother of mine owns ninety nine sheep, while I own one sheep. He wants to mix my sheep with his, and continues to pressure me."

038:023 Sarwar       One of them said, "This is my brother who has ninety-nine ewes when I have only one. He has demanded me to place that one in his custody; he had the stronger argument".

038:023 Shakir        Surely this is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes and I have a single ewe; but he said: Make it over to me, and he has prevailed against me in discourse.

038:023 Sherali       `Now this my brother has ninety-nine ewes, and I have only one ewe. Yet he says, `Give it to me,' and he has been overbearing to me in his address.'

038:023 Yusufali     "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.”

038:024

038:024 Khan          [Dawud (David)] said (immediately without listening to the opponent): "He has wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And, verily, many partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are few." And Dawud (David) guessed that We have tried him and he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allah) in repentance.

038:024 Maulana     He said: Surely he has wronged thee in demanding thy ewe (to add) to his own ewes. And surely many partners wrong one another save those who believe and do good, and very few are they! And David knew that We had tried him, so he asked his Lord for protection, and he fell down bowing and turned (to God).

038:024 Pickthal      (David) said: He hath wronged thee in demanding thine ewe in addition to his ewes, and lo! many partners oppress one another, save such as believe and do good works, and they are few. And David guessed that We had tried him, and he sought forgiveness of his Lord, and he bowed himself and fell down prostrate and repented.

038:024 Rashad       He said, "He is being unfair to you by asking to combine your sheep with his. Most people who combine their properties treat each other unfairly, except those who believe and work righteousness, and these are so few." Afterwards, David wondered if he made the right judgment. He thought that we were testing him. He then implored his Lord for forgiveness, bowed down, and repented.

038:024 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." David realized that it was a test from Us so he asked forgiveness from his Lord and knelt down before him in repentance.

038:024 Shakir        He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act wrongfully towards one another, save those who believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawood was sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protection of his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned time after time (to Him).

038:024 Sherali       David said, `Surely, he has wronged thee in asking for thy ewe to add to his own ewes. And certainly many partners transgress against one another, except those who believe in ALLAH and act righteously; and these are but few.' And David thought that WE had tried him; so he asked forgiveness of his Lord, and fell down bowing in worship and turned to HIM.

038:024 Yusufali     (David) 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 David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance).

038:025

038:025 Khan          So We forgave him that, and verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good place of (final) return (Paradise).

038:025 Maulana     So We gave him this protection, and he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.

038:025 Pickthal      So We forgave him that; and lo! he had access to Our presence and a happy journey's end.

038:025 Rashad       We forgave him in this matter. We have granted him a position of honor with us, and a beautiful abode.

038:025 Sarwar       We forgave him for this. In Our eyes he certainly has a good position and the best share (of the world to come).

038:025 Shakir        Therefore We rectified for him this, and most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.

038:025 Sherali       So WE forgave him his default; and, indeed, he had a position of nearness with US and an excellent resort.

038:025 Yusufali     So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful place of (Final) Return.

038:026

038:026 Khan          O Dawud (David)! Verily! We have placed you as a successor on earth, so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire for it will mislead you from the Path of Allah. Verily! Those who wander astray from the Path of Allah (shall) have a severe torment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.

038:026 Maulana     O David, surely We have made thee a ruler in the land; so judge between men justly and follow not desire, lest it lead thee astray from the path of Allah. Those who go astray from the path of Allah, for them is surely a severe chastisement because they forgot the day of Reckoning.

038:026 Pickthal      (And it was said unto him): O David! Lo! We have set thee as a viceroy in the earth; therefor judge aright between mankind, and follow not desire that it beguile thee from the way of Allah. Lo! those who wander from the way of Allah have an awful doom, forasmuch as they forgot the Day of Reckoning.

038:026 Rashad       O David, we have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people equitably, and do not follow your personal opinion, lest it diverts you from the way of GOD. Surely, those who stray off the way of GOD incur severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.

038:026 Sarwar       We told him. "David, We have appointed you as Our deputy on earth so judge among the people with truth. Do not follow (worldly) desires lest you go astray from the way of God. Those who go astray from the way of God will suffer severe torment for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.

038:026 Shakir        o Dawood ! surely We have made you a ruler in the land; so judge between men with justice and do not follow desire, lest it should lead you astray from the path of Allah; (as for) those who go astray from the path of Allah, they shall surely have a severe punishment because they forgot the day of reckoning.

038:026 Sherali       Then WE said to him, `O David, WE have made thee a viceregent in the earth; so judge between men with justice, and follow not vain desire, lest it should lead thee astray from the way of ALLAH.' Surely, those, who go astray from the way of ALLAH, will have a severe punishment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.

038:026 Yusufali     O David! 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.

038:027                   Section 3: Solomon and his Enemies

038:027 Khan          And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Islamic Monotheism) from the Fire!

038:027 Maulana     And We created not the heaven and the earth and what is between them in vain. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve. So woe to those who disbelieve on account of the Fire!

038:027 Pickthal      And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in vain. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve. And woe unto those who disbelieve, from the Fire!

038:027 Rashad       We did not create the heaven and the earth, and everything between them, in vain. Such is the thinking of those who disbelieve. Therefore, woe to those who disbelieve; they will suffer in Hell.

038:027 Sarwar       We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without purpose, even though this is the belief of the disbelievers. Woe to the disbelievers; they will suffer the torment of fire

038:027 Sherali       And WE have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in vain. That is the view of those who disbelieve. Woe, then, to the disbelievers because of the punishment of the Fire that shall overtake them.

038:027 Yusufali     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)!

038:028

038:028 Khan          Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, as Mufsidun (those who associate partners in worship with Allah and commit crimes) on earth? Or shall We treat the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2), as the Fujjar (criminals, disbelievers, wicked, etc)?

038:028 Maulana     Shall We treat those who believe and do good like the mischief-makers in the earth? Or shall We make the dutiful like the wicked?

038:028 Pickthal      Shall We treat those who believe and do good works as those who spread corruption in the earth; or shall We treat the pious as the wicked?

038:028 Rashad       Shall we treat those who believe and lead a righteous life as we treat those who commit evil on earth? Shall we treat the righteous as we treat the wicked?

038:028 Sarwar       Do We consider the righteously striving believers equal to the evil-doers in the land? Are the pious ones equal to those who openly commit sin?.

038:028 Shakir        Shall We treat those who believe and do good like the mischief-makers in the earth? Or shall We make those who guard (against evil) like the wicked?

038:028 Sherali       Shall WE treat those who believe and do good works like those who act corruptly in the earth?  Shall WE treat the righteous like the wicked?

038:028 Yusufali     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?

038:030 Pickthal      And We bestowed on David, Solomon. How excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).

038:030 Rashad       To David we granted Solomon; a good and obedient servant.

038:031 Khan          When there were displayed before him, in the afternoon, well trained horses of the highest breed [for Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause)].

038:031 Maulana     When well-bred, swift (horses) were brought to him at evening --

038:031 Pickthal      When there were shown to him at eventide lightfooted coursers

038:031 Rashad       One day he became preoccupied with beautiful horses, until the night fell.

038:031 Sarwar       When the noble galloping horses were displayed to him one evening,

038:031 Shakir        When there were brought to him in the evening (horses) still when standing, swift when running--

038:031 Sherali       When there were brought before him at eventide steeds of noblest breed and swift of foot,

038:031 Yusufali     Behold, there were brought before him, at eventide coursers of the highest breeding, and swift of foot;

038:032

038:032 Khan          And he said: "Alas! I did love the good (these horses) instead of remembering my Lord (in my 'Asr prayer)" till the time was over, and (the sun) had hidden in the veil (of night).

038:032 Maulana     So he said, I love the good things on account of the remembrance of my Lord -- until they were hidden behind the veil.

038:032 Pickthal      And he said: Lo! I have preferred the good things (of the world) to the remembrance of my Lord; till they were taken out of sight behind the curtain.

038:032 Rashad       He then said, "I enjoyed the material things more than I enjoyed worshipping my Lord, until the sun was gone.

038:032 Sarwar       he said, "My love of horses for the cause of God has made me continue watching them until sunset, thus making me miss my prayer".

038:032 Shakir        Then he said: Surely I preferred the good things to the remembrance of my Lord-- until the sun set and time for Asr prayer was over, (he said):

038:032 Sherali       He said, `I love the love of good things because they remind me of my Lord.' And when they were hidden behind the veil,

038:032 Yusufali     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):

038:033

038:033 Khan          Then he said "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).

038:033 Maulana     (He said): Bring them back to me. So he began to stroke (their) legs and necks.

038:033 Pickthal      (Then he said): Bring them back to me, and fell to slashing (with his sword their) legs and necks.

038:033 Rashad       "Bring them back." (To bid farewell,) he rubbed their legs and necks.

038:033 Sarwar       He said, "Bring them back to me." Then he started to rub their legs and necks.

038:033 Shakir        Bring them back to me; so he began to slash (their) legs and necks.

038:033 Yusufali     "Bring them back to me." then began he to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks.

038:034

038:034 Khan          And, indeed We did try Sulaiman (Solomon) and We placed on his throne Jasadan (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) but he did return (to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah and he did return) to Allah with obedience and in repentance.

038:034 Maulana     And certainly we tried Solomon, and We put on his throne a (mere) body, so he turned (to Allah).

038:034 Pickthal      And verily We tried Solomon, and set upon his throne a (mere) body. Then did he repent.

038:034 Rashad       We thus put Solomon to the test; we blessed him with vast material wealth, but he steadfastly submitted.

038:034 Sarwar       We tested Solomon by (causing death to his son) and leaving his body on Solomon's chair. Then he turned to Us in repentance,

038:034 Shakir        And certainly We tried Sulaiman, and We put on his throne a (mere) body, so he turned (to Allah).

038:034 Sherali       Certainly, WE tried Solomon and WE placed on his throne a mere body. Then he turned to God, seeking his mercy.

038:034 Yusufali     And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body (without life); but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):

038:035

038:035 Khan          He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me: Verily, You are the Bestower."

038:035 Maulana     He said: My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not fit for any one after me; surely Thou art the Great Giver.

038:035 Pickthal      He said: My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me sovereignty such as shall not belong to any after me. Lo! Thou art the Bestower.

038:035 Sarwar       saying, "Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom that no one after me can have the like. You are All-munificent".

038:035 Shakir        He said: My Lord! do Thou forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not fit for (being inherited by) anyone after me;

038:035 Sherali       He said, `O my Lord, grant me forgiveness and bestow on me a kingdom that may not be inherited by anyone after me; surely, Thou art the Great Bestower.'

038:035 Yusufali     He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom which, (it may be), suits not another after me: for Thou art the Grantor of Bounties (without measure).

038:060 Pickthal      They say: Nay, but you (misleaders), for you there is no word of welcome. Ye prepared this for us (by your misleading). Now hapless is the plight.

038:060 Rashad       The newcomers will respond, "Nor are you welcomed. You are the ones who preceded us and misled us. Therefore, suffer this miserable end."

038:060 Sarwar       Their followers will say, "In fact, it is you who deserve condemnation. It was you who led us to hell, a terrible dwelling".

038:060 Shakir        They shall say: Nay! you-- no welcome to you: you did proffer it to us, so evil is the resting-place.

038:060 Sherali       The followers will say, `Nay, it is you. No welcome for you either. It is you who prepared this for us by leading us astray.' What an evil resting place it is !

038:060 Yusufali     (The followers shall cry to the misleaders:) "Nay, ye (too)! No welcome for you! It is ye who have brought this upon us! Now evil is (this) place to stay in!”

038:061 Khan          They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!"

038:061 Maulana     They say: Our Lord, whoever prepared it for us, give him more, a double, punishment in the Fire.

038:061 Pickthal      They say: Our Lord! Whoever did prepare this for us, oh, give him double portion of the Fire!

038:062 Pickthal      And they say: What aileth us that we behold not men whom we were wont to count among the wicked?

038:062 Rashad       They will say, "How come we do not see (in Hell) people we used to count among the wicked?

038:062 Sarwar       But why is it that we cannot see men whom we had considered as wicked

038:062 Shakir        And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the vicious?

038:062 Sherali       And the inmates of Hell will say, `What is the matter with us that we see not the men whom we used to reckon among the wicked?

038:062 Yusufali     And they will say: "What has happened to us that we see not men whom we used to number among the bad ones?

038:063

038:063 Khan          Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?"

038:063 Maulana     Did we (only) take them in scorn, or do our eyes miss them?

038:063 Pickthal      Did we take them (wrongly) for a laughing-stock, or have our eyes missed them?

038:063 Rashad       "We used to ridicule them; we used to turn our eyes away from them."

038:063 Sarwar       and whom we mocked? Have they been rescued or can our eyes not find them?".

038:063 Shakir        Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them?

038:063 Sherali       `It is because we unjustly took them for a laughing stock, or have the eyes missed them?'

038:063 Yusufali     "Did we treat them (as such) in ridicule, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?”

038:064 Khan          Verily, that is the very truth, the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!

038:064 Maulana     That surely is the truth -- the contending one with another of the inmates of the Fire.

038:064 Pickthal      Lo! that is very truth: the wrangling of the dwellers in the Fire.

038:064 Rashad       This is a predetermined fact: the people of Hell will feud with one another.

038:064 Sarwar       Such disputes will certainly take place among the dwellers of hell fire.

038:064 Shakir        That most surely is the truth: the contending one with another of the inmates of the fire.

038:074 Pickthal      Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.

038:074 Rashad       except Satan; he refused, and was too arrogant, unappreciative.

038:074 Shakir        But not Iblis: he was proud and he was one of the unbelievers.

038:074 Sherali       But Iblis did not. He behaved proudly, and was of those who disbelieved.

038:074 Yusufali     Not so Iblis: he was haughty, and became one of those who reject Faith.

038:075

038:075 Khan          (Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"

038:075 Maulana     He said: O Iblis, what prevented thee from submitting to him whom I created with both My hands? Art thou proud or art thou of the exalted ones?

038:075 Pickthal      He said: O Iblis! What hindereth thee from falling prostrate before that which I have created with both My hands? Art thou too proud or art thou of the high exalted?

038:075 Rashad       He said, "O Satan, what prevented you from prostrating before what I created with My hands? Are you too arrogant? Have you rebelled?"

038:075 Sarwar       The Lord said, "Iblis, what prevented you from prostrating before what I have created with My own hands? Was it because of your pride or are you truly exalted?".

038:075 Shakir        He said: O Iblis! what prevented you that you should do obeisance to him whom I created with My two hands? Are you proud or are you of the exalted ones?

038:075 Sherali       God said, `O Iblis, what hindered thee from submitting to what I had created with MY two hands?  Is it that thou art too proud, or art thou really above obeying my command?'

038:075 Yusufali     (Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?”

038:076
