Sād

1 : 38

صٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكۡرِ

1. Sād ^[1]. By the Qur’an, full of reminder ^[2],

[1]. See footnote to Qur’an chapter 2: Verse1.
[2]. That the matter is not as the pagans assume that Allāh has partners with Him.

2 : 38

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةٖ وَشِقَاقٖ

2. Yet those who disbelieve (in the Truth) (are) entrenched with pride and dissension.

3 : 38

كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنٖ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٖ

3. How many a (sinful) generation have We destroyed before them, so they called out (to Us), when it was too late to escape.

4 : 38

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٌ

4. And they wonder that there has come to them a warner (Muhammad) from among themselves, and The disbelievers said: "This is a sorcerer, a liar ^[3]."

[3]. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed many miracles, because He was God's last and final messenger to all mankind, but yet this did not convince the pagans who declared that they rather die than to let someone change their lives and ancestral customs of idol worshipping. Despite that the Prophet Muhammad was able to open the eyes of the blind, and the ears of the deaf to the Truth through the great miracle, the Qur’an, that God revealed to him. But the eminent ones of the deniers insisted in their worshipping of the idols, saying:

5 : 38

أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٞ

5. Has he made the gods (into) one God? Indeed, this is certainly a curious thing.

6 : 38

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱمۡشُواْ وَٱصۡبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٞ يُرَادُ

6. And the eminent ones among them (the idolaters) went off, (saying) that,: "Walk away and be patient over your gods; indeed this is a thing intended (against you) ^[4].

[4]. Planned by Muhammad in order to dominate you.

7 : 38

مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَٰقٌ

7. We never heard of this in the latter faith ^[5]. This is not but an innovation.

[5]. Referring to the faith of Jesus or possibly the pagan religion.

8 : 38

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ

8. Has the Reminder (the Qur’an) been sent down to him (alone) from among us?" Rather, they are in doubt as to My reminder. Rather, they have not yet tasted My torment.

9 : 38

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡوَهَّابِ

9. Or have they the treasures of the Mercy of your Lord, the All-Mighty, the Great Bestower?

10 : 38

أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبِ

10. Or is theirs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them? Then let them ascend (by) the means ^[6].

[6]. To try to block the ways of heavens so that Our revelations cannot come to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

11 : 38

جُندٞ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ

11. A host ^[7] - from right there (they will be) defeated among the confederates (of disbelievers) ^[8].

[7]. It alludes to the defeat of the pagans of Makkah at Badr.
[8]. i.e., the defeated armies of the old times who rejected their messengers.

12 : 38

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

12. Before them, the people of Noah denied (the Truth), as did ‘Aad, and Pharaoh, (the) owner (of) the stakes ^[9].

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطٖ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ

13. (So also did) Thamud, the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the wooded thicket (of Midian). Those are the confederates.

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

14. Each of them denied the messengers (of God), so My punishment was justified.

15 : 38

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٖ

15. And these (deniers) await not but a single blast (of the Horn) ^[10], there will be no delay for it.

[10]. I.e., the blowing of the Trumpet by the angel Isrâfil.

16 : 38

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ

16. And they said (mockingly): "Our Lord, hasten on to us our portion (of torment even) before the Day of Reckoning.
