Surah Sad

صٓۚ وَاَلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي اِ۬لذِّكۡرِ

Suad! (Allah swears) by the Qur´an, which is full of (divine) advice

بَلِ اِ۬لَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةࣲ وَشِقَاقࣲ‏

In fact, the unbelievers are steeped in arrogance and aversion

كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنࣲ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصࣲ‏

Many generations have We destroyed prior to them. (In the end) they all cried out and pleaded (to be saved); but then it is too late to escape

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ اَ۬لۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرࣱ كَذَّابٌ

They consider it odd that a warner has come to them from amongst themselves. The unbelievers said, "This is a magician, a liar

أَجَعَلَ اَ۬لۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهࣰ ا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابࣱ‏

Has he replaced all our gods with just One God? That is really astounding

وَاَنطَلَقَ اَ۬لۡمَلَأُ مِنۡهُمۡ أَنِ اِ۪مۡشُواْ وَاَصۡبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءࣱ يُرَادُ

Their chiefs go about saying, "Go home and hold on to your gods staunchly. This thing is (purposely) designed (against you)

مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي اِ۬لۡمِلَّةِ اِ۬لۡأٓخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا اَ۪خۡتِلَٰقٌ

We have never heard any such thing in other nations, lately. This is nothing but a made up story

أَ۟نزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ اِ۬لذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكࣲّ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ

Why was the (divine) advice revealed to him (and not us)? Among us, (why was he chosen)?" No! Rather, it is My advice that they doubt (and challenge). In fact, they have not tasted My punishment yet

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ اَ۬لۡعَزِيزِ اِ۬لۡوَهَّابِ

Do they have _ to own (and to distribute) _ the treasures of the mercy of your Powerful Lord, the Generous Grantor of gifts

أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ اُ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَاَلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي اِ۬لۡأَسۡبَٰبِ

Or do they own the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and everything in between? So, let them ascend up (to the heaven) by their means. (Alternate meaning: So, let them rise to the top of this world)

جُندࣱ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومࣱ مِّنَ اَ۬لۡأَحۡزَابِ

They are just one small group out of many (that were bigger and much stronger). They are (destined) to be routed right here (on their home turf)

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحࣲ وَعَادࣱ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو اُ۬لۡأَوۡتَادِ

Prior to them, many (groups) rejected the messengers, like the nation of Nooh, the ´Aads´ and the pharaoh _ the one so firmly fortified

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطࣲ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ اَ۬لۡأَحۡزَابُ

(And like) the Samood, the nation of Loot, and the people of ´Aikah´. (Now), they were (much stronger) groups

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ اَ۬لرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

Every single one of them rejected the messenger, and so justly deserved My punishment

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةࣰ وَٰحِدَةࣰ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقࣲ‏

Now, what these people here (have been warned about and) are waiting for is nothing but a single mighty blast. There won´t be (the need for) a second blast

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ اِ۬لۡحِسَابِ

They say, "Our Lord, rush our share (of the punishment) to us right now, before the day of reckoning

اِ۪صۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاَذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا اَ۬لۡأَيۡدِۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

Bear everything they say patiently (oh prophet), and remember Our servant Da´ood, the one with strength. He constantly turned to Allah (for guidance)

إِنَّا سَخَّرۡنَا اَ۬لۡجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحۡنَ بِالۡعَشِيِّ وَاَلۡإِشۡرَاقِ

We tamed the mountains for him. Every nightfall and morning, they sang along the praises (of Allah) with him

وَاَلطَّيۡرَ مَحۡشُورَةࣰۖ كُلࣱّ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابࣱ‏

Birds used to gather around. They all turned to Him (and chanted His praises)

وَشَدَدۡنَا مُلۡكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ اُ۬لۡحِكۡمَةَ وَفَصۡلَ اَ۬لۡخِطَابِ

We strengthened his domain and granted him wisdom, and (eloquent) persuasive speech

۞وَهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُاْ اُ۬لۡخَصۡمِ إِذ تَّسَوَّرُواْ اُ۬لۡمِحۡرَابَ

Has the tale of the two litigants reached you? They scaled the wall (of the palace to gain entry) into the royal chambers

إِذ دَّخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡهُمۡۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ خَصۡمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعۡضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ فَاَحۡكُم بَيۡنَنَا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَاَهۡدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ اِ۬لصِّرَٰطِ

Da´ood was scared when they entered his room. They said, "Do not be afraid. The two of us have a dispute. One of us has unjustly harmed the other. So, settle our dispute fairly. Do not stray from the just course. Guide us to the right path

إِنَّ هَٰذَآ أَخِي لَهُۥ تِسۡعࣱ وَتِسۡعُونَ نَعۡجَةࣰ وَلِي نَعۡجَةࣱ وَٰحِدَةࣱ فَقَالَ أَكۡفِلۡنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي اِ۬لۡخِطَابِ

One of them said, "This, here, is my brother. He had ninety-nine lambs, while I had only one lamb. Yet he said to me, ´Hand over your lamb to me.´ He persuaded (and prevailed over) me with his (eloquent) speech

قَالَ لَقَد ظَّلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرࣰ ا مِّنَ اَ۬لۡخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبۡغِي بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ إِلَّا اَ۬لَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلࣱ مَّا هُمۡۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّٰهُ فَاَسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّۤ رَاكِعࣰ اۤ وَأَنَابَ۩

(Da´ood) said, "He certainly wronged you by asking for your lamb to join his herd (of ninety-nine lambs). Indeed, most friends and family members often treat each other unjustly, except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. Such ones (however) are few." And then Da´ood realized, that We had put him through a test (by this incident). So, he sought forgiveness of his Lord. He fell down prostrate and turned to Him in repentance

فَغَفَرۡنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلۡفٜ يٰ وَحُسۡنَ مَـَٔابࣲ‏

So We forgave him. Indeed, he has a high status with Us _ an excellent place to return

يَٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰكَ خَلِيفَةࣰ فِي اِ۬لۡأَرۡضِ فَاَحۡكُم بَيۡنَ اَ۬لنّ۪اسِ بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ اِ۬لۡهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِۚ إِنَّ اَ۬لَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اِ۬للَّهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا نَسُواْ يَوۡمَ اَ۬لۡحِسَابِ

(We said), "Oh Da´ood, We have certainly appointed you Our deputy in the land. Therefore, settle the disputes between people with justice. Do not be swayed by your whims and wishes. Else, you will stray from the path of Allah. Indeed, there is a severe punishment for those who stray from the path of Allah _ because they forget the day of reckoning

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا اَ۬لسَّمَآءَ وَاَلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا بَٰطِلࣰ اۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ اُ۬لَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ فَوَيۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ اَ۬لنّ۪ارِ

We did not create this _ the heaven, the earth and everything in between _ without a purpose. (In fact) those who do not believe, think otherwise. Misery is for the unbelievers. They will be in fire (forever)

أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ اُ۬لَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَاَلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ فِي اِ۬لۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ اُ۬لۡمُتَّقِينَ كَاَلۡفُجّ۪ارِ

Should We make those who believe and perform good deeds share the same fate as those who spread corruption in this world? Should We treat the righteous ones and the wicked ones alike

كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ مُبَٰرَكࣱ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ اُ۬لۡأَلۡبَٰبِ

(Oh prophet)! We have revealed to you a book full of blessings, so that people may ponder over its verses, and so that those with sense and insight may heed its advice

۞وَوَهَبۡنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيۡمَٰنَۚ نِعۡمَ اَ۬لۡعَبۡدُۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

To Da´ood We gave (a son), Sulaiman. What a wonderful (person and a) servant (of Allah)! Indeed, he (frequently) turned (to Allah) in repentance

إِذۡ عُرِضَ عَلَيۡهِ بِالۡعَشِيِّ اِ۬لصَّٰفِنَٰتُ اُ۬لۡجِيَادُ

One day in the late afternoon, swift-footed highbred horses were presented to him

فَقَالَ إِنِّيَ أَحۡبَبۡتُ حُبَّ اَ۬لۡخَيۡرِ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتۡ بِالۡحِجَابِ

He said, "I relished (and indulged in) these good things (of this world), and failed to remember my Lord. (He missed the evening prayer). When the horses (ran and) vanished from sight behind the screen (of dust they kicked off), he ordered

رُدُّوهَا عَلَيَّۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسۡحَۢا بِالسُّوقِ وَاَلۡأَعۡنَاقِ

Bring them back to me!" He began to slash their legs and napes (with his sword)

وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا سُلَيۡمَٰنَ وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا عَلَىٰ كُرۡسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدࣰ ا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ

We certainly put Sulaiman through a test. We raised (his heir) to the throne to be just a figure _ just a body (inept and incompetent). Then He repented and turned back (from his desire to bequeath the throne to one of his own descendants)

قَالَ رَبِّ اِ۪غۡفِر لِّي وَهَبۡ لِي مُلۡكࣰ ا لَّا يَنۢبَغِي لِأَحَدࣲ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِيَۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ اَ۬لۡوَهَّابُ

He said, "My Lord, grant me forgiveness! Grant me an empire, the like of which no one shall ever have after me. Certainly, You are the (real) Grantor

فَسَخَّرۡنَا لَهُ اُ۬لرِّيحَ تَجۡرِي بِأَمۡرِهِۦ رُخَآءً حَيۡثُ أَصَابَ

So We gave him control over the wind. Upon his orders, it gently sped towards the region of his choice

وَاَلشَّيَٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءࣲ وَغَوَّاصࣲ‏

(And under his control, We placed) the Shaitans _ all the builders and the divers

وَءَاخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِي اِ۬لۡأَصۡفَادِ

And others bound in chains

هَٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَاَمۡنُنۡ أَوۡ أَمۡسِكۡ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابࣲ‏

(We said) "This is Our gift to you! Without (the fear of) reckoning, you may bestow it _ or hold it back _ upon whomever you wish

وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلۡفٜ يٰ وَحُسۡنَ مَـَٔابࣲ‏

Indeed, he has a high status with Us, and an excellent place to return

وَاَذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ اَ۬لشَّيۡطَٰنُ بِنُصۡبࣲ وَعَذَابٍ

And remember Our servant Ayub. He called his Lord (saying), "Shaitan really heckles me (with doubts; I am stricken) with hardship and distress

اِ۟رۡكُضۡ بِرِجۡلِكَۖ هَٰذَا مُغۡتَسَلُۢ بَارِدࣱ وَشَرَابࣱ‏

(We said), "With your foot, stamp the ground; (under it is a spring), cool water to bathe and drink

وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهۡلَهُۥ وَمِثۡلَهُم مَّعَهُمۡ رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّنَّا وَذِكۡر۪يٰ لِأُوْلِي اِ۬لۡأَلۡبَٰبِ

We gave his family back to him. And as a blessing from Us, We gave him many more (children) _ a reminder for those who reflect

وَخُذۡ بِيَدِكَ ضِغۡثࣰ ا فَاَضۡرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحۡنَثۡۗ إِنَّا وَجَدۡنَٰهُ صَابِرࣰ اۚ نِّعۡمَ اَ۬لۡعَبۡدُۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابࣱ‏

(We said to Ayub) "Do not break your oath. (Instead) take a bundle of thin grass and with it (lightly) strike (the person you swore to lash; you were sick at that time)." We really found him patient. What a wonderful person! Indeed, he constantly turned to Us in repentance

وَاَذۡكُرۡ عِبَٰدَنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ أُوْلِي اِ۬لۡأَيۡدِي وَاَلۡأَبۡصٰ۪رِ

And remember Our servant Ibraheem, Ishaq and Yaqub. They all had insight and the strength of character

إِنَّآ أَخۡلَصۡنَٰهُم بِخَالِصَةࣲ ذِكۡرَى اَ۬لدّ۪ارِ

We especially chose them because they (always) remembered the house of the hereafter

وَإِنَّهُمۡ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ اَ۬لۡمُصۡطَفَيۡنَ اَ۬لۡأَخۡي۪ارِ

According to Our judgment, they were certainly among the best, the excellent

وَاَذۡكُرۡ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَاَلۡيَسَعَ وَذَا اَ۬لۡكِفۡلِۚ وَكُلࣱّ مِّنَ اَ۬لۡأَخۡي۪ارِ

And remember Ismail, ´Al-yasaa´ and ´Dhul-Kifl´. They are all among the excellent ones

هَٰذَا ذِكۡرࣱۚ وَإِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسۡنَ مَـَٔابࣲ‏

This (Qur´an) is a reminder! Indeed, for the righteous one there is an excellent place to go to (after death)

جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنࣲ مُّفَتَّحَةࣰ لَّهُمُ اُ۬لۡأَبۡوَٰبُ

Eternal paradise! With its gates held open for them (allowing them free and unhindered access)

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا يَدۡعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَٰكِهَةࣲ كَثِيرَةࣲ وَشَرَابࣲ‏

There, seated comfortably, they would order and receive (exotic and) plentiful fruits and drinks

۞وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ اُ۬لطَّرۡفِ أَتۡرَابٌ

With them, would be the chaste females of the same age _ those with eyes only for their mates

هَٰذَا مَا يُوعَدُونَ لِيَوۡمِ اِ۬لۡحِسَابِ

(They would be told) "All this was promised to be yours on the day of reckoning

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَرِزۡقُنَا مَا لَهُۥ مِن نَّفَادٍ

Certainly, such is Our grant to you! It will never run out

هَٰذَاۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّٰغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَـَٔابࣲ‏

All that (is for the righteous)! But for the transgressors, there is a worst place to return

جَهَنَّمَ يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا فَبِئۡسَ اَ۬لۡمِهَادُ

Hell, which will roast them! An abominable abode

هَٰذَا فَلۡيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمࣱ وَغَسَاقࣱ‏

(It is appropriate for them)! So let them quench their thirst with boiling water, pus and discharge from wounds

وَأُخَرُ مِن شَكۡلِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٌ

And other (despicable) torments of that sort

هَٰذَا فَوۡجࣱ مُّقۡتَحِمࣱ مَّعَكُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِهِمۡ إِنَّهُمۡ صَالُواْ اُ۬لنّ۪ارِ

(As the fresh crop of unbelievers is hurled into hell, those already there will say), "This is the group entering (hell) to stay. No welcome for them! They shall burn in the fire

قَالُواْ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِكُمۡۖ أَنتُمۡ قَدَّمۡتُمُوهُ لَنَاۖ فَبِئۡسَ اَ۬لۡقَرَارُ

(The newcomers will respond) "Actually there is no welcome for you either. You led us here into hell, the worst of the places

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَٰذَا فَزِدۡهُ عَذَابࣰ ا ضِعۡفࣰ ا فِي اِ۬لنّ۪ارِ

They will say, "Our Lord, increase the torment by fire twice as much for the one who has brought this (fate) upon us

وَقَالُواْ مَا لَنَا لَا نَر۪يٰ رِجَالࣰ ا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ اَ۬لۡأَشۡر۪ارِ

They will say, "What is the matter? We don´t see here (in hell) those men we used to consider wicked (in the previous life)

اِ۪تَّخَذۡنَٰهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّاۖ أَمۡ زَاغَتۡ عَنۡهُمُ اُ۬لۡأَبۡصَٰرُ

We had made them the target of ridicule! Why do our eyes fail to spot them (here)

إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقࣱّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهۡلِ اِ۬لنّ۪ارِ

Definitely! That is the truth! Those in hellfire will bicker and wrangle (just like that)

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرࣱۖ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا اَ۬للَّهُ اُ۬لۡوَٰحِدُ اُ۬لۡقَهَّارُ

Say (oh prophet)! "Actually, I am only a warner! There is no god but Allah, the One and Only, the Almighty

رَبُّ اُ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَاَلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا اَ۬لۡعَزِيزُ اُ۬لۡغَفَّٰرُ

The Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, the most Powerful and the most Forgiving

قُلۡ هُوَ نَبَؤٌاْ عَظِيمٌ

Say, "That is the greatest news

أَنتُمۡ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضُونَ

You are turning away from it

مَا كَانَ لِي مِنۡ عِلۡمِۢ بِالۡمَلَإِ اِ۬لۡأَعۡلَىٰٓ إِذۡ يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

I had no knowledge of the high chiefs, (the angels), as they discussed among themselves (the creation of Adam)

إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينٌ

This was revealed to me (for no other reason) except that I am really _ and clearly _ a warner

إِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرࣰ ا مِّن طِينࣲ‏

Your Lord said to the angels, "I am really going to create man from clay

فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ

You must fall down prostrate before him (in submission), after I have fashioned him and have breathed into him the spirit created by Me

فَسَجَدَ اَ۬لۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ

Accordingly, the angels _ all of them together _ fell prostrate

إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ اَ۪سۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ اَ۬لۡكٰ۪فِرِينَ

But Iblees (the Shaitan) did not! He displayed arrogance, and was (always) a disbeliever

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِيَدَيَّۖ أَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ اَ۬لۡعَالِينَ

(Allah) said, "Oh Iblees, what kept you from falling prostrate before a being I created with My hands? Are you too proud (to bow)? Or are you one of the high and the exalted

قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرࣱ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِي مِن نّ۪ارࣲ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِينࣲ‏

(Iblees) said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire, while You created him from clay

قَالَ فَاَخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمࣱ‏

(Allah) said, "Get out of here! Indeed, you are damned

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ لَعۡنَتِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ اِ۬لدِّينِ

You shall carry My curse till the day of resurrection

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

(Iblees) said, "My Lord, give me a chance (to prove my point) till the day they shall be raised (back to life)

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ اَ۬لۡمُنظَرِينَ

(Allah) said, "You are (hereby) being granted the respite

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ اِ۬لۡوَقۡتِ اِ۬لۡمَعۡلُومِ

Till the day of that appointed time

قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(Iblees) said, "I swear by Your Might, (oh Lord)! I will definitely tempt and lead all of them astray

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ اُ۬لۡمُخۡلِصِينَ

Except those among them that are Your true and sincere servants

۞قَالَ فَاَلۡحَقَّ وَاَلۡحَقَّ أَقُولُ

(Allah said) "The truth is _ and (nothing but) truth I (always) speak

لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

That I will most certainly pack the hellfire with you and all those who follow you

قُلۡ مَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرࣲ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ اَ۬لۡمُتَكَلِّفِينَ

Tell them, "I do not ask of you any compensation. I am not an imposter

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

It (the Quran) really is a reminder for all the worlds

وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُۥ بَعۡدَ حِينِۢ

After a while, you will certainly come to know about it yourself
