Sād

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

صٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكۡرِ

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

[1] See footnote 2:1.
[2] The oath's completion is that the Qur’an is inimitable and thus Allah's miracle.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةٖ وَشِقَاقٖ

yet those who disbelieve are in arrogance and dissension.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنٖ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٖ

How many generations have We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was too late for deliverance.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٌ

They wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves^[3], and the disbelievers say, “This is a magician and a liar!

[3] The disbelievers demanded that an angel be sent to them to convey the message of Allah, not a human like themselves.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٞ

Has he made all gods into one God? Indeed, this is something strange!”

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

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

The leaders among them departed, saying, “Carry on as you are, and stay faithful to your gods. Indeed, there is a motive behind it^[4].

[4] i.e., The Prophet (ﷺ) only wants to gain influence and prestige for himself.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَٰقٌ

We have not heard of this in the last religion^[5]. This is nothing but a fabrication.

[5] It refers to Christianity or pagan Arab beliefs.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

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

Has the Reminder been sent down to him from among us?” Rather, they are in doubt about My Reminder^[6], for they have not yet tasted My punishment.

[6] They do not question the Prophet's (ﷺ) honesty; rather, they question the Qur’an itself. See 6:33.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡوَهَّابِ

Or do they possess the treasuries of the mercy of your Lord, the All-Mighty, the Bestower?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبِ

Or do they have the dominion of the heavens and earth and all that is between them? Then let them ascend by any means^[7].

[7] To manage the affairs of their dominion.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

جُندٞ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ

This is only a small army^[8] among several armies^[9] that will soon be defeated.

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

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 12

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

The people of Noah rejected [their messengers] before them, as did ‘Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes^[10];

[10] It refers to the stakes by which he used to torture people, or the pyramids which are like stakes into the earth.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 13

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطٖ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ

and Thamūd and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Forest – such were the [denier] parties.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 14

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

Each of them rejected their messenger, therefore My punishment became inevitable.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 15

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٖ

They are only waiting for a single Blast that cannot be stopped^[11].

[11] Fawāq: "respite", more literally, "a period between two milkings of a she-camel," which also alludes to "return" or "repetition."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 16

وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ

They say, “Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of punishment] before the Day of Reckoning.”
