38. Surah Sad – Verses 41–80

And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."

— Saheeh International

[So he was told], "Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for a] cool bath and drink."

— Saheeh International

And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding.

— Saheeh International

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath."1 Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

— Saheeh International

And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter].

— Saheeh International

And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.

— Saheeh International

And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.

— Saheeh International

This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return -

— Saheeh International

Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.

— Saheeh International

Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink.

— Saheeh International

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances1 and of equal age.

— Saheeh International

This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.

— Saheeh International

This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -

— Saheeh International

Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place.

— Saheeh International

This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.

— Saheeh International

And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.

— Saheeh International

[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."

— Saheeh International

They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."

— Saheeh International

They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."

— Saheeh International

And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?1

— Saheeh International

Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"

— Saheeh International

Indeed, that is truth [i.e., reality] - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.

— Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allāh, the One, the Prevailing,1

— Saheeh International

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might,1 the Perpetual Forgiver."2

— Saheeh International

Say, "It is great news

— Saheeh International

From which you turn away.

— Saheeh International

I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].

— Saheeh International

It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."

— Saheeh International

[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.

— Saheeh International

So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul,1 then fall down to him in prostration."

— Saheeh International

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

— Saheeh International

Except Iblees;1 he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

— Saheeh International

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands?1 Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

— Saheeh International

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

— Saheeh International

[Allāh] said, "Then get out of it [i.e., Paradise], for indeed, you are expelled.

— Saheeh International

And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."

— Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

— Saheeh International

[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
