صٓ وَالۡقُرۡاٰنِ ذِی الذِّکۡرِ ؕ﴿۲﴾
Sad.[✛] By the Qur’an, full of exhortation, it is Our revealed word.بَلِ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا فِیۡ عِزَّۃٍ وَّشِقَاقٍ ﴿۳﴾
But those who disbelieve are steeped in false pride and enmity.کَمۡ اَہۡلَکۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِہِمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡنٍ فَنَادَوۡا وَّلَاتَ حِیۡنَ مَنَاصٍ ﴿۴﴾
How many a generation before them have We destroyed! They cried out for help, but it was no longer the time for escape.وَعَجِبُوۡۤا اَنۡ جَآءَہُمۡ مُّنۡذِرٌ مِّنۡہُمۡ ۫ وَقَالَ الۡکٰفِرُوۡنَ ہٰذَا سٰحِرٌ کَذَّابٌ ۖ﴿ۚ۵﴾
And they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves; and the disbelievers say, ‘This is a magician, a great liar.38:6

وَانۡطَلَقَ الۡمَلَاُ مِنۡہُمۡ اَنِ امۡشُوۡا وَاصۡبِرُوۡا عَلٰۤی اٰلِہَتِکُمۡ ۚۖ اِنَّ ہٰذَا لَشَیۡءٌ یُّرَادُ ۖ﴿ۚ۷﴾
[✲]And the leaders among them spoke out, ‘Go and stick to your gods. This is a thing designed.38:8
1 footnote
مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِہٰذَا فِی الۡمِلَّۃِ الۡاٰخِرَۃِ ۚۖ اِنۡ ہٰذَاۤ اِلَّا اخۡتِلَاقٌ ۖ﴿ۚ۸﴾
[✲]‘We have not heard of this even in the latest religion. This is nothing but a fabrication.38:9
1 footnote
ءَاُنۡزِلَ عَلَیۡہِ الذِّکۡرُ مِنۡۢ بَیۡنِنَا ؕ بَلۡ ہُمۡ فِیۡ شَکٍّ مِّنۡ ذِکۡرِیۡ ۚ بَلۡ لَّمَّا یَذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابِ ؕ﴿۹﴾
[✲]‘Has the exhortation been sent down to him in preference to all of us?’ Nay, they are in doubt concerning My exhortation. Nay, but they have not yet tasted My punishment.اَمۡ عِنۡدَہُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَۃِ رَبِّکَ الۡعَزِیۡزِ الۡوَہَّابِ ۚ﴿۱۰﴾
Do they possess the treasures of the mercy of thy Lord, the Mighty, the Great Bestower?اَمۡ لَہُمۡ مُّلۡکُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا ۟ فَلۡیَرۡتَقُوۡا فِی الۡاَسۡبَابِ ﴿۱۱﴾
Or is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them theirs? So let them ascend with the means at their disposal.جُنۡدٌ مَّا ہُنَالِکَ مَہۡزُوۡمٌ مِّنَ الۡاَحۡزَابِ ﴿۱۲﴾
They are a host from among the confederates which will be routed here.38:13

کَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَہُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوۡحٍ وَّعَادٌ وَّفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو الۡاَوۡتَادِ ﴿ۙ۱۳﴾
[✲]Before them too the people of Noah, and the tribe of ‘Ad and Pharaoh, the lord of stakes, treated the Messengers as liars;38:14
1 footnote
وَثَمُوۡدُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوۡطٍ وَّاَصۡحٰبُ لۡـَٔیۡکَۃِ ؕ اُولٰٓئِکَ الۡاَحۡزَابُ ﴿۱۴﴾
[✲]And the tribe of Thamud, and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Wood — these were the confederates.38:15
1 footnote
اِنۡ کُلٌّ اِلَّا کَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ ﴿٪۱۵﴾
[✲]There was not one of them but treated their Messengers as liars, so My punishment rightly overtook them.38:16

وَمَا یَنۡظُرُ ہٰۤؤُلَآءِ اِلَّا صَیۡحَۃً وَّاحِدَۃً مَّا لَہَا مِنۡ فَوَاقٍ ﴿۱۶﴾
[✲]And these only wait for a single blast, and there shall be no delaying it.وَقَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلۡ لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ یَوۡمِ الۡحِسَابِ ﴿۱۷﴾
They say, ‘Our Lord, hasten to us our portion of the punishment before the Day of Reckoning.’38:18
1 footnote
اِصۡبِرۡ عَلٰی مَا یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَاذۡکُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوٗدَ ذَا الۡاَیۡدِ ۚ اِنَّہٗۤ اَوَّابٌ ﴿۱۸﴾
[✲]Bear patiently what they say, and remember Our servant David, man of strong hands; surely he was always turning to God.38:19
1 footnote
اِنَّا سَخَّرۡنَا الۡجِبَالَ مَعَہٗ یُسَبِّحۡنَ بِالۡعَشِیِّ وَالۡاِشۡرَاقِ ﴿ۙ۱۹﴾
[✲]We subjected to him the mountains. They celebrated God’s praises with him at nightfall and sunrise.38:20
1 footnote
وَالطَّیۡرَ مَحۡشُوۡرَۃً ؕ کُلٌّ لَّہٗۤ اَوَّابٌ ﴿۲۰﴾
[✲]And We subjected to him the birds gathered together: all turned to him.38:21
1 footnote
وَشَدَدۡنَا مُلۡکَہٗ وَاٰتَیۡنٰہُ الۡحِکۡمَۃَ وَفَصۡلَ الۡخِطَابِ ﴿۲۱﴾
[✲]And We strengthened his kingdom, and gave him wisdom and decisive judgment.وَہَلۡ اَتٰٮکَ نَبَؤُا الۡخَصۡمِ ۘ اِذۡ تَسَوَّرُوا الۡمِحۡرَابَ ﴿ۙ۲۲﴾
And has the story of the disputants reached thee when they climbed over the wall of his chamber? —اِذۡ دَخَلُوۡا عَلٰی دَاوٗدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡہُمۡ قَالُوۡا لَا تَخَفۡ ۚ خَصۡمٰنِ بَغٰی بَعۡضُنَا عَلٰی بَعۡضٍ فَاحۡکُمۡ بَیۡنَنَا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَاہۡدِنَاۤ اِلٰی سَوَآءِ الصِّرَاطِ ﴿۲۳﴾
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.اِنَّ ہٰذَاۤ اَخِیۡ ۟ لَہٗ تِسۡعٌ وَّتِسۡعُوۡنَ نَعۡجَۃً وَّلِیَ نَعۡجَۃٌ وَّاحِدَۃٌ ۟ فَقَالَ اَکۡفِلۡنِیۡہَا وَعَزَّنِیۡ فِی الۡخِطَابِ ﴿۲۴﴾
“This is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe. Yet he says, ‘Give it to me,’ and has been overbearing to me in his address.”قَالَ لَقَدۡ ظَلَمَکَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِکَ اِلٰی نِعَاجِہٖ ؕ وَاِنَّ کَثِیۡرًا مِّنَ الۡخُلَطَآءِ لَیَبۡغِیۡ بَعۡضُہُمۡ عَلٰی بَعۡضٍ اِلَّا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَقَلِیۡلٌ مَّا ہُمۡ ؕ وَظَنَّ دَاوٗدُ اَنَّمَا فَتَنّٰہُ فَاسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّہٗ وَخَرَّ رَاکِعًا وَّاَنَابَ ﴿ٛ۲۵﴾
David said, ‘Surely, he has wronged thee in demanding thy ewe in addition to his own ewes. And certainly many partners transgress against one another, except those who believe in God and do good works; and these are but few.’ And David perceived that We had tried him; so he asked forgiveness of his Lord, and fell down bowing in worship and turned to Him.فَغَفَرۡنَا لَہٗ ذٰلِکَ ؕ وَاِنَّ لَہٗ عِنۡدَنَا لَزُلۡفٰی وَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍ ﴿۲۶﴾
So We forgave him that; and indeed, he had a position of nearness with Us and an excellent retreat.یٰدَاوٗدُ اِنَّا جَعَلۡنٰکَ خَلِیۡفَۃً فِی الۡاَرۡضِ فَاحۡکُمۡ بَیۡنَ النَّاسِ بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الۡہَوٰی فَیُضِلَّکَ عَنۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِیۡنَ یَضِلُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ لَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ شَدِیۡدٌۢ بِمَا نَسُوۡا یَوۡمَ الۡحِسَابِ ﴿٪۲۷﴾
‘O David, We have made thee a vicegerent 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.وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا بَاطِلًا ؕ ذٰلِکَ ظَنُّ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا ۚ فَوَیۡلٌ لِّلَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنَ النَّارِ ﴿ؕ۲۸﴾
And We have not created the heaven 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 Fire.اَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ کَالۡمُفۡسِدِیۡنَ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ ۫ اَمۡ نَجۡعَلُ الۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ کَالۡفُجَّارِ ﴿۲۹﴾
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?کِتٰبٌ اَنۡزَلۡنٰہُ اِلَیۡکَ مُبٰرَکٌ لِّیَدَّبَّرُوۡۤا اٰیٰتِہٖ وَلِیَتَذَکَّرَ اُولُوا الۡاَلۡبَابِ ﴿۳۰﴾
This is a Book which We have revealed to thee, full of blessings, that they may reflect over its verses, and that those gifted with understanding may take heed.وَوَہَبۡنَا لِدَاوٗدَ سُلَیۡمٰنَ ؕ نِعۡمَ الۡعَبۡدُ ؕ اِنَّہٗۤ اَوَّابٌ ﴿ؕ۳۱﴾
And We bestowed on David, Solomon who was an excellent servant. He was always turning to Us.اِذۡ عُرِضَ عَلَیۡہِ بِالۡعَشِیِّ الصّٰفِنٰتُ الۡجِیَادُ ﴿ۙ۳۲﴾
When there were brought before him at eventide steeds of noblest breed and swift of foot,38:33
1 footnote
فَقَالَ اِنِّیۡۤ اَحۡبَبۡتُ حُبَّ الۡخَیۡرِ عَنۡ ذِکۡرِ رَبِّیۡ ۚ حَتّٰی تَوَارَتۡ بِالۡحِجَابِ ﴿ٝ۳۳﴾
[✲]He said, ‘I love the love of horses because of the remembrance of my Lord.’ So great was his love of them that when they were hidden behind the veil, he said,38:34
1 footnote
رُدُّوۡہَا عَلَیَّ ؕ فَطَفِقَ مَسۡحًۢا بِالسُّوۡقِ وَالۡاَعۡنَاقِ ﴿۳۴﴾
[✲]‘Bring them back to me.’ Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks.وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا سُلَیۡمٰنَ وَاَلۡقَیۡنَا عَلٰی کُرۡسِیِّہٖ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ اَنَابَ ﴿۳۵﴾
And We did try Solomon and We placed on his throne a mere body. Then he turned to God, seeking His mercy.38:36
1 footnote
قَالَ رَبِّ اغۡفِرۡ لِیۡ وَہَبۡ لِیۡ مُلۡکًا لَّا یَنۡۢبَغِیۡ لِاَحَدٍ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِیۡ ۚ اِنَّکَ اَنۡتَ الۡوَہَّابُ ﴿۳۶﴾
[✲]He said, ‘O my Lord, grant me forgiveness and bestow on me a kingdom that will not suit anyone after me; surely Thou art the Great Bestower.’فَسَخَّرۡنَا لَہُ الرِّیۡحَ تَجۡرِیۡ بِاَمۡرِہٖ رُخَآءً حَیۡثُ اَصَابَ ﴿ۙ۳۷﴾
So We subjected to him the wind, blowing gently by his command whithersoever he desired to go,وَالشَّیٰطِیۡنَ کُلَّ بَنَّآءٍ وَّغَوَّاصٍ ﴿ۙ۳۸﴾
And the giants, all sorts of builders and divers,وَّاٰخَرِیۡنَ مُقَرَّنِیۡنَ فِی الۡاَصۡفَادِ ﴿۳۹﴾
And others bound in fetters.ہٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَامۡنُنۡ اَوۡ اَمۡسِکۡ بِغَیۡرِ حِسَابٍ ﴿۴۰﴾
‘This is Our gift — so give freely or withhold — without reckoning.’وَاِنَّ لَہٗ عِنۡدَنَا لَزُلۡفٰی وَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍ ﴿٪۴۱﴾
And certainly he had a position of nearness with Us and an excellent retreat.وَاذۡکُرۡ عَبۡدَنَاۤ اَیُّوۡبَ ۘ اِذۡ نَادٰی رَبَّہٗۤ اَنِّیۡ مَسَّنِیَ الشَّیۡطٰنُ بِنُصۡبٍ وَّعَذَابٍ ﴿ؕ۴۲﴾
And remember Our servant Job, when he cried unto his Lord, saying, ‘Satan has afflicted me with toil and torment.’38:43
1 footnote
اُرۡکُضۡ بِرِجۡلِکَ ۚ ہٰذَا مُغۡتَسَلٌۢ بَارِدٌ وَّشَرَابٌ ﴿۴۳﴾
[✲]‘Strike and urge thy riding beast with thy foot. Here is cool water to wash with and a drink.’38:44
1 footnote
وَوَہَبۡنَا لَہٗۤ اَہۡلَہٗ وَمِثۡلَہُمۡ مَّعَہُمۡ رَحۡمَۃً مِّنَّا وَذِکۡرٰی لِاُولِی الۡاَلۡبَابِ ﴿۴۴﴾
[✲]And We bestowed on him his family and as many more with them, by way of mercy from Us, and as a reminder to men of understanding.وَخُذۡ بِیَدِکَ ضِغۡثًا فَاضۡرِبۡ بِّہٖ وَلَا تَحۡنَثۡ ؕ اِنَّا وَجَدۡنٰہُ صَابِرًا ؕ نِعۡمَ الۡعَبۡدُ ؕ اِنَّہٗۤ اَوَّابٌ ﴿۴۵﴾
And We said to him, ‘Take in thy hand a handful of dry twigs and strike therewith, and break not thy oath.’ Indeed, We found him steadfast. An excellent servant was he. Surely, he was always turning to God.38:46
1 footnote
وَاذۡکُرۡ عِبٰدَنَاۤ اِبۡرٰہِیۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ وَیَعۡقُوۡبَ اُولِی الۡاَیۡدِیۡ وَالۡاَبۡصَارِ ﴿۴۶﴾
[✲]And remember Our servants Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, men of strong hands and powerful vision.38:47
1 footnote
اِنَّاۤ اَخۡلَصۡنٰہُمۡ بِخَالِصَۃٍ ذِکۡرَی الدَّارِ ﴿ۚ۴۷﴾
[✲]We chose them for a special purpose — reminding people of the abode of the Hereafter.وَاِنَّہُمۡ عِنۡدَنَا لَمِنَ الۡمُصۡطَفَیۡنَ الۡاَخۡیَارِ ﴿ؕ۴۸﴾
And truly, they are in Our sight among the elect and the best.38:49
1 footnote
وَاذۡکُرۡ اِسۡمٰعِیۡلَ وَالۡیَسَعَ وَذَا الۡکِفۡلِ ؕ وَکُلٌّ مِّنَ الۡاَخۡیَارِ ﴿ؕ۴۹﴾
And remember Ishmael and Elisha and Dhu’l-Kifl;[✛] and all were of the best.ہٰذَا ذِکۡرٌ ؕ وَاِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ لَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍ ﴿ۙ۵۰﴾
This is a reminder. And the righteous will surely have excellent retreat:جَنّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ مُّفَتَّحَۃً لَّہُمُ الۡاَبۡوَابُ ﴿ۚ۵۱﴾
Gardens of Eternity, with their gates thrown open to them,مُتَّکِـِٕیۡنَ فِیۡہَا یَدۡعُوۡنَ فِیۡہَا بِفَاکِہَۃٍ کَثِیۡرَۃٍ وَّشَرَابٍ ﴿۵۲﴾
Reclining therein on cushions; they will therein call at pleasure for plenteous fruit and drink.وَعِنۡدَہُمۡ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرۡفِ اَتۡرَابٌ ﴿۵۳﴾
And with them will be chaste women, restraining their looks, companions of equal age.ہٰذَا مَا تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ لِیَوۡمِ الۡحِسَابِ ﴿ؓ۵۴﴾
This is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning.اِنَّ ہٰذَا لَرِزۡقُنَا مَا لَہٗ مِنۡ نَّفَادٍ ﴿ۚۖ۵۵﴾
Verily, this is Our provision which will never be exhausted.ہٰذَا ؕ وَاِنَّ لِلطّٰغِیۡنَ لَشَرَّ مَاٰبٍ ﴿ۙ۵۶﴾
This is for the believers. But for the rebellious there is an evil place of return —جَہَنَّمَ ۚ یَصۡلَوۡنَہَا ۚ فَبِئۡسَ الۡمِہَادُ ﴿۵۷﴾
Hell, wherein they will burn. What an evil resting-place!ہٰذَا ۙ فَلۡیَذُوۡقُوۡہُ حَمِیۡمٌ وَّغَسَّاقٌ ﴿ۙ۵۸﴾
This is what they will have. So let them taste it: a boiling fluid, and an intensely cold and stinking drink.وَّاٰخَرُ مِنۡ شَکۡلِہٖۤ اَزۡوَاجٌ ﴿ؕ۵۹﴾
And various kinds of other torments of a similar nature.ہٰذَا فَوۡجٌ مُّقۡتَحِمٌ مَّعَکُمۡ ۚ لَا مَرۡحَبًۢا بِہِمۡ ؕ اِنَّہُمۡ صَالُوا النَّارِ ﴿۶۰﴾
‘This is a host of yours rushing headlong with you, O leaders of mischief.’ No welcome for them. They must burn in the Fire.قَالُوۡا بَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ ۟ لَا مَرۡحَبًۢا بِکُمۡ ؕ اَنۡتُمۡ قَدَّمۡتُمُوۡہُ لَنَا ۚ فَبِئۡسَ الۡقَرَارُ ﴿۶۱﴾
They will say, ‘Nay, it is you. No welcome for you in truth. It is you who prepared this for us. So what an evil resting-place it is!’قَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا مَنۡ قَدَّمَ لَنَا ہٰذَا فَزِدۡہُ عَذَابًا ضِعۡفًا فِی النَّارِ ﴿۶۲﴾
They will also say, ‘Our Lord, whosoever prepared this for us — so add to him a double punishment in the Fire.’وَقَالُوۡا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرٰی رِجَالًا کُنَّا نَعُدُّہُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَشۡرَارِ ﴿ؕ۶۳﴾
And they will say, ‘What has happened to us that we see not the men whom we used to reckon among the wicked?اَتَّخَذۡنٰہُمۡ سِخۡرِیًّا اَمۡ زَاغَتۡ عَنۡہُمُ الۡاَبۡصَارُ ﴿۶۴﴾
‘Is it because we subjected them to ridicule unjustly, or have the eyes missed them?’38:65
1 footnote
اِنَّ ذٰلِکَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ اَہۡلِ النَّارِ ﴿٪۶۵﴾
[✲]Surely, this is a fact — the disputing together of the people of the Fire.قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا مُنۡذِرٌ ٭ۖ وَّمَا مِنۡ اِلٰہٍ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَہَّارُ ﴿ۚ۶۶﴾
Say, ‘I am only a Warner; and there is no God but Allah, the One, the Most Supreme;رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا الۡعَزِیۡزُ الۡغَفَّارُ ﴿۶۷﴾
‘The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between the two, the Mighty, the Great Forgiver.’قُلۡ ہُوَ نَبَؤٌا عَظِیۡمٌ ﴿ۙ۶۸﴾
Say, ‘It is a big news,اَنۡتُمۡ عَنۡہُ مُعۡرِضُوۡنَ ﴿۶۹﴾
‘From which you are turning away.مَا کَانَ لِیَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۭ بِالۡمَلَاِ الۡاَعۡلٰۤی اِذۡ یَخۡتَصِمُوۡنَ ﴿۷۰﴾
‘I had no knowledge of the exalted Assembly when they discussed it among themselves,اِنۡ یُّوۡحٰۤی اِلَیَّ اِلَّاۤ اَنَّمَاۤ اَنَا نَذِیۡرٌ مُّبِیۡنٌ ﴿۷۱﴾
‘But this that it has been revealed to me, that I am a plain Warner.’اِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّکَ لِلۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃِ اِنِّیۡ خَالِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنۡ طِیۡنٍ ﴿۷۲﴾
When thy Lord said to the angels, ‘I am about to create man from clay,فَاِذَا سَوَّیۡتُہٗ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِیۡہِ مِنۡ رُّوۡحِیۡ فَقَعُوۡا لَہٗ سٰجِدِیۡنَ ﴿۷۳﴾
‘And so when I have fashioned him in perfection, and have breathed into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in submission to him.’فَسَجَدَ الۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃُ کُلُّہُمۡ اَجۡمَعُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۷۴﴾
So the angels submitted, all of them together.اِلَّاۤ اِبۡلِیۡسَ ؕ اِسۡتَکۡبَرَ وَکَانَ مِنَ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ ﴿۷۵﴾
But Iblis did not. He behaved proudly, and was of those who disbelieved.38:76

قَالَ یٰۤاِبۡلِیۡسُ مَا مَنَعَکَ اَنۡ تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِیَدَیَّ ؕ اَسۡتَکۡبَرۡتَ اَمۡ کُنۡتَ مِنَ الۡعَالِیۡنَ ﴿۷۶﴾
[✲]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 of the exalted ones?’قَالَ اَنَا خَیۡرٌ مِّنۡہُ ؕ خَلَقۡتَنِیۡ مِنۡ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقۡتَہٗ مِنۡ طِیۡنٍ ﴿۷۷﴾
He said, ‘I am better than he. Thou hast created me of fire and him hast Thou created of clay.’قَالَ فَاخۡرُجۡ مِنۡہَا فَاِنَّکَ رَجِیۡمٌ ﴿ۚۖ۷۸﴾
God said, ‘Then get out hence, for, surely thou art rejected.وَّاِنَّ عَلَیۡکَ لَعۡنَتِیۡۤ اِلٰی یَوۡمِ الدِّیۡنِ ﴿۷۹﴾
‘And surely on thee shall be My curse till the Day of Judgment.’قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنۡظِرۡنِیۡۤ اِلٰی یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُوۡنَ ﴿۸۰﴾
He said, ‘My Lord, then grant me respite till the day when they shall be raised.’قَالَ فَاِنَّکَ مِنَ الۡمُنۡظَرِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۸۱﴾
God said, ‘Certainly thou art of those that are granted respite,اِلٰی یَوۡمِ الۡوَقۡتِ الۡمَعۡلُوۡمِ ﴿۸۲﴾
‘Till the day of the appointed time.’قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِکَ لَاُغۡوِیَنَّہُمۡ اَجۡمَعِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۸۳﴾
He said, ‘So by Thy might, I will surely lead them all astray,اِلَّا عِبَادَکَ مِنۡہُمُ الۡمُخۡلَصِیۡنَ ﴿۸۴﴾
‘Except Thy chosen servants from among them.’قَالَ فَالۡحَقُّ ۫ وَالۡحَقَّ اَقُوۡلُ ﴿ۚ۸۵﴾
God said, ‘Then the truth is, and the truth I speak,لَاَمۡلَـَٔنَّ جَہَنَّمَ مِنۡکَ وَمِمَّنۡ تَبِعَکَ مِنۡہُمۡ اَجۡمَعِیۡنَ ﴿۸۶﴾
