Sad. By the Qur'an containing reminder...

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.

How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they ˹then˺ called out; but it was not a time for escape.

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

Has he made the gods ˹only˺ one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."

And the eminent among them went forth, ˹saying˺, "Continue, and be patient over ˹the defense of˺ your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended.

We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication.

Has the message been revealed to him out of ˹all of˺ us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.

Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower?

Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through ˹any˺ ways of access.

˹They are but˺ soldiers ˹who will be˺ defeated there among the companies ˹of disbelievers˺.

The people of Noah denied before them, and ˹the tribe of˺ 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

And ˹the tribe of˺ Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies.

Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.

صٓۚ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكْرِ

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِي عِزَّةࣲ وَشِقَاقࣲ

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنࣲ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصࣲ

وَعَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرࣱ مِّنْهُمْۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرࣱ كَذَّابٌ

أَجَعَلَ ٱلْـَٔالِهَةَ إِلَٰهࣰا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابࣱ

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِنْهُمْ أَنِ ٱمْشُوا۟ وَٱصْبِرُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمْۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيْءࣱ يُرَادُ

مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي ٱلْمِلَّةِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخْتِلَٰقٌ

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَاۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكࣲّ مِّن ذِكْرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِ

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْوَهَّابِ

أَمْ لَهُم مُّلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۖ فَلْيَرْتَقُوا۟ فِي ٱلْأَسْبَٰبِ

جُندࣱ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومࣱ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحࣲ وَعَادࣱ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ

وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوطࣲ وَأَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ

إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ

The people of Noah denied before them, and ˹the tribe of˺ 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحࣲ وَعَادࣱ وَفِرْعَوْنُ ذُو ٱلْأَوْتَادِ

And these ˹disbelievers˺ await not but one blast ˹of the Horn˺; for it there will be no delay.

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيْحَةࣰ وَٰحِدَةࣰ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقࣲ

And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share ˹of the punishment˺ before the Day of Account"

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back ˹to Allah˺.

Indeed, We subjected the mountains ˹to praise˺ with him, exalting ˹Allah˺ in the ˹late˺ afternoon and ˹after˺ sunrise.

And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating ˹praises˺.

And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech.

And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of ˹his˺ prayer chamber -

When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. ˹We are˺ two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed ˹it˺ and guide us to the sound path.

Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech."

˹David˺ said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe ˹in addition˺ to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing ˹in prostration˺ and turned in repentance ˹to Allah˺.

So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

˹We said˺, "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow ˹your own˺ desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ ٱلْحِسَابِ

ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

إِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا ٱلْجِبَالَ مَعَهُۥ يُسَبِّحْنَ بِٱلْعَشِيِّ وَٱلْإِشْرَاقِ

وَٱلطَّيْرَ مَحْشُورَةࣰۖ كُلࣱّ لَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابࣱ

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُۥ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ ٱلْخِطَابِ

۞ وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا۟ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ دَاوُۥدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْۖ خَصْمَانِ بَغَىٰ بَعْضُنَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضࣲ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَٱهْدِنَآ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ

إِنَّ هَٰذَآ أَخِي لَهُۥ تِسْعࣱ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةࣰ وَلِيَ نَعْجَةࣱ وَٰحِدَةࣱ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي ٱلْخِطَابِ

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلࣱ مَّا هُمْۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعࣰا وَأَنَابَ۩

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُۥ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَإِنَّ لَهُۥ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَـَٔابࣲ

يَٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰكَ خَلِيفَةࣰ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابࣱ شَدِيدُۢ بِمَا نَسُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَٰطِلࣰاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ۚ فَوَيْلࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

Or should we treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked?

˹This is˺ a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, ˹O Muhammad˺, that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَٰطِلࣰاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ۚ فَوَيْلࣱ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ

أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ كَٱلْفُجَّارِ

كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَٰرَكࣱ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ
