1. Sad. By the Qur'an containing reminder
2. But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension
3. How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they [then] called out; but it was not a time for escape
4. 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
5. Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing
6. And the eminent among them went forth, [saying], "Continue, and be patient over [the defense of] your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended
7. We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication
8. 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
9. Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the Exalted in Might, the Bestower
10. 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
11. [They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers]
12. The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes
13. And [the tribe of] Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies
14. Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified
15. And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay
16. And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share [of the punishment] before the Day of Account
17. 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]
18. Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise
19. And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises]
20. And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech
21. And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber
22. 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
23. 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
24. [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]
25. So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return
26. [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
27. 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

34. And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned
35. He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower
36. So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed

74. Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers
75. [Allah] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty
