[Saad 38:62] And they say, “What is the matter with us that we do not see the men whom we thought were evil?” [Saad 38:63] “Did we mock at them or did our eyes turn away from them?” [Saad 38:64] Indeed this is really true – the people of the hell quarrelling among themselves. [Saad 38:65] Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “I am purely a Herald of Warning - and there is no God except Allah, the One, the All Dominant.” [Saad 38:66] “Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them - the Almighty, the Oft Forgiving.” [Saad 38:67] Say, “That is a great tidings.” [Saad 38:68] “You are neglectful of it!” [Saad 38:69] “What did I know of the heavenly world, when the angels had disputed.” [Saad 38:70] “I receive only the divine revelations, that I am purely a clear Herald of Warning.” [Saad 38:71] (Remember) When your Lord said to the angels, “I will create a human from clay.” - [Saad 38:72] “So when I have perfected him and breathed into him a spirit from Myself, (you all) fall down before him in prostration.” [Saad 38:73] So all the angels prostrated, every one, without exception. [Saad 38:74] Except Iblis; he was proud and was, from the beginning, a disbeliever. [Saad 38:75] Said Allah, “O Iblis! What prevented you from prostrating before one whom I have created with My hands*? Have you become proud or were you haughty from the beginning?” (Used as a metaphor). [Saad 38:76] Said Iblis, “I am better than him; You made me from fire, and You have created him from clay!” [Saad 38:77] He said, “Therefore exit from heaven, for you have been outcast.” (To disrespect the Prophets – peace and blessings be upon them – is blasphemy.) [Saad 38:78] “And indeed My curse is upon you till the Day of Judgement.” [Saad 38:79] He said, “My Lord! Therefore give me respite till the day when all will be raised.” [Saad 38:80] Said Allah, “You are therefore among those given respite.” [Saad 38:81] “Until the time of the known day.” [Saad 38:82] He said, “Therefore, by oath of Your honour, I will surely mislead all of them.” [Saad 38:83] “Except Your chosen bondmen among them.” [Saad 38:84] Said Allah, “So this is the truth; and I speak only the truth.” - [Saad 38:85] “That I will fill hell with you and with those among them who follow you, all together.” [Saad 38:86] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) “I do not ask any fee from you for the Qur’an, and I am not a fabricator.” [Saad 38:87] “It is not but an advice for the entire world.” [Saad 38:88] “And you will come to know of its tidings,
after a while.” |
