38:3How many generations have We destroyed before them? They cried out when it was too late to escape.

38:7We never heard of this in the former faith. This is nothing but a fabrication.

38:11An army of confederates with be defeated there.

38:16And they say, “Our Lord, hasten Your writ upon us, before the Day of Account.”

38:18We committed the mountains to glorify with him, in the evening and at daybreak.

38:23“This brother of mine has ninety nine ewes, and I have one ewe, and he said, ‘Entrust it to me,’ and he pressured me with words.”

38:24He said, “He has done you wrong by asking your ewe in addition to his ewes. Many partners take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good deeds, but these are so few.” David realized that We were testing him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down to his knees, and repented.

38:26“O David, We made you a ruler in the land, so judge between the people with justice, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from God’s path. Those who stray from God’s path will have a painful punishment, for having ignored the Day of Account.”

38:29A blessed Book that We sent down to you, that they may ponder its Verses, and for those with intelligence to take heed.

38:30And We granted David, Solomon, an excellent servant. He was penitent.

38:32He said, “I have preferred the love of niceties to the remembrance of my Lord—until it disappeared behind the veil.

38:39“This is Our gift; so give generously, or withhold; without account.”

38:41And mention Our servant Job, when he called out to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with hardship and pain.”

38:42“Stamp with your foot—here is cool water to wash with, and to drink.”

38:43And We restored his family for him, and their like with them; as a mercy from Us, and a lesson for those who possess insight.

38:44“Take with your hand a bundle, and strike with it, and do not break your oath.” We found him patient. What an excellent servant! He was obedient.

38:45And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—endowed with ability and vision.

38:46We distinguished them with a distinct quality: the remembrance of the Home.

38:50The Gardens of Eden, with their doors wide-open for them.

38:51Relaxing therein, and calling for abundant fruit and beverage.

38:52With them will be attendants with modest gaze, of same age.

38:57All this. Let them taste it—boiling and bitter cold.

38:59“This is a crowd rushing headlong with you.” There is no welcome for them. They will be scorched by the Fire.

38:60They will say, “But it is you! There is no welcome for you! It is you who brought it upon us! What a miserable end!”

38:62And they will say, “What is it with us that we do not see men we used to count among the wicked?

38:67Say, “It is a message of great importance.

38:70It is only revealed to me that I am a clear warner.”

38:72When I have formed him, and breathed into him of My spirit, fall prostrate before him.

38:74Except for Satan. He was too proud, and one of the faithless.

38:75He said, “O Satan, what prevented you from prostrating before what I created with My Own hands? Are you too proud, or were you one of the exalted?”

38:85I will fill Hell with you, and with every one of them who follows you.”

38:87It is but a reminder to mankind.

38:88And you will know its message after a while.”
