Surah Ṣãd for kids content
OTHER GREAT PROPHETS
45And remember Our servants: Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Ya'qub—the men of power and insight.
46We truly chose them for the honour of promoting the Next Life.
47And, in Our sight, they are truly among the chosen and the finest.
48Also remember Isma'il, Al-Yasa, and Zul-Kifl.
All are among the best.
وَٱذۡكُرۡ عِبَٰدَنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ أُوْلِي ٱلۡأَيۡدِي وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ45
إِنَّآ أَخۡلَصۡنَٰهُم بِخَالِصَةٖ ذِكۡرَى ٱلدَّارِ46
وَإِنَّهُمۡ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصۡطَفَيۡنَ ٱلۡأَخۡيَارِ47
وَٱذۡكُرۡ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلۡكِفۡلِۖ وَكُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَخۡيَارِ48
REWARD OF THE FAITHFUL
49This is 'all' a reminder.
And the faithful will certainly have a wonderful destination:
50the Gardens of Eternity, with gates wide open for them.
51There they will relax, calling for lots of fruits and drinks.
52And with them will be heavenly wives—never looking beyond 'their husbands'—all of equal age.
53This is what you are promised for Judgment Day.
54These are surely Our resources that will never end.
هَٰذَا ذِكۡرٞۚ وَإِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسۡنَ مََٔابٖ49
جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٖ مُّفَتَّحَةٗ لَّهُمُ ٱلۡأَبۡوَٰبُ50
مُتَّكِِٔينَ فِيهَا يَدۡعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ وَشَرَابٖ51
وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ أَتۡرَابٌ52
هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ53
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَرِزۡقُنَا مَا لَهُۥ مِن نَّفَادٍ54
PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED
55That is it.
And those who went too far in sin will surely have a horrible destination:
56Jahannam, where they will burn.
What an evil place to rest!
57Let them then taste this: boiling water and nasty filth,
58and other punishments of the same sort!
هَٰذَاۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّٰغِينَ لَشَرَّ مََٔابٖ55
جَهَنَّمَ يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ56
هَٰذَا فَلۡيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٞ وَغَسَّاقٞ57
وَءَاخَرُ مِن شَكۡلِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٌ58
ARGUING IN HELL
59'The misleaders will say to each other', "Here is a crowd 'of followers' being thrown in with you.
They are not welcome—they too will burn in the Fire'!
'
60The followers will respond, "No!
You are not welcome!
You brought this upon us.
What an evil place to stay!
"
61Adding, "Our Lord!
Whoever brought this upon us, double their punishment in the Fire.
"
62Later, the misleaders will ask 'each other', "But why do we not see those we thought were no good?
"
63Were we wrong in making fun of them 'in the world'?
Or do our eyes just fail to see them 'in Hell'?
"
64This argument between the people of the Fire will really happen.
هَٰذَا فَوۡجٞ مُّقۡتَحِمٞ مَّعَكُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِهِمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ صَالُواْ ٱلنَّارِ59
قَالُواْ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِكُمۡۖ أَنتُمۡ قَدَّمۡتُمُوهُ لَنَاۖ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرَارُ60
قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَٰذَا فَزِدۡهُ عَذَابٗا ضِعۡفٗا فِي ٱلنَّارِ61
وَقَالُواْ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالٗا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَشۡرَارِ62
أَتَّخَذۡنَٰهُمۡ سِخۡرِيًّا أَمۡ زَاغَتۡ عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ63
إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقّٞ تَخَاصُمُ أَهۡلِ ٱلنَّارِ64
THE MESSENGER AND HIS MESSAGE
65Say, 'O Prophet,' "I am only a warner.
And there is no god 'that deserves worship' except Allah—the One, the Supreme.
66'He is the' Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between—the Almighty, Most Forgiving.
"
67Say, "This 'Quran' is big news,
68from which you 'idol-worshippers' are turning away.
69I had no knowledge of the highest assembly 'in heaven' when they differed 'about Adam'.
70What is revealed to me is that I am only sent with a clear warning.
"
قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرٞۖ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡوَٰحِدُ ٱلۡقَهَّارُ65
رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفَّٰرُ66
قُلۡ هُوَ نَبَؤٌاْ عَظِيمٌ ٦٧ أَنتُمۡ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضُونَ67
أَنتُمۡ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضُونَ68
مَا كَانَ لِيَ مِنۡ عِلۡمِۢ بِٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰٓ إِذۡ يَخۡتَصِمُونَ69
إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٌ70
BACKGROUND STORY
- •
According to the Quran, Shaytan was created from fire, and Adam (A.
S.
) was created from clay.
Shaytan was a `jinn`, not an angel (18:50).
When Allah created Adam (A.
S.
), He made it clear that He was going to put him on Earth as an authority.
- •
Since Shaytan worshipped Allah a lot, he was always in the company of the angels dedicated to Allah's worship.
When Allah ordered those angels to bow down to Adam (A.
S.
), Shaytan was standing with them.
They all bowed down, except for him.
- •
He protested, 'I'm better than him—I was created from fire and he was created from clay.
Why should I bow down to him?
' So when Shaytan disobeyed Allah, his name became Iblis (which means 'the one who lost hope') because of his arrogance.
WORDS OF WISDOM
- •
Someone may ask, 'If we only make `sajdah` to Allah, how come the angels were asked to bow down to Adam (A.
S.
)?
' We need to keep in mind that certain things were allowed before the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) but are not allowed for us.
In the same way, certain things are allowed for us but were not allowed before his time.
- •
The angels were ordered to bow down to Adam (A.
S.
) as an act of respect, not worship.
Similarly, the family of Yusuf (A.
S.
) (including his parents and 11 brothers) bowed down before Yusuf (A.
S.
) out of respect, according to Surah 12.
- •
In Surah 34:13, the `jinn` built different things for Sulaiman (A.
S.
), including statues, which were allowed for him but are not allowed for us.
- •
In the past, if someone did something terribly wrong (like the sin of worshipping the calf in the story of Musa (A.
S.
)), people were ordered to kill each other if they wanted to repent (2:54).
Now if a Muslim does an evil deed, they pray to Allah for forgiveness and do good to wipe out that evil deed.
- •
Also, in the past, certain foods were not allowed for the people of Musa (A.
S.
) but are allowed for us (6:146).
SATAN'S ARROGANCE
71'Remember, O Prophet,' when your Lord said to the angels, "I am going to create a human from clay.
72So when I have perfectly shaped him and had a spirit of My Own 'creation' breathed into him, bow down to him.
"
73So the angels bowed down all together—
74but not Iblis, who acted arrogantly, becoming unfaithful.
75Allah asked, "O Iblis!
What stopped you from bowing to what I created with My Own Hands?
Did you just become arrogant?
Or have you always been 'too proud'?
76He replied, "I am better than him: You created me from fire and created him from clay.
"
77Allah ordered, "Then get out of here; you are truly cursed.
78And surely upon you is My anger until Judgment Day.
"
79Satan begged, "My Lord!
Then delay my end until the Day everyone is raised from the dead!
"
80Allah said, "You will be delayed
81until the set Day.
"
82Satan promised, "By Your Glory!
I will certainly mislead them all,
83except Your chosen servants among them.
"
84Allah concluded, "The truth is—and I only say the truth:
85I will surely fill up Hell with you and whoever follows you from among them, all together.
"
إِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن طِينٖ71
فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ72
فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ73
إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ74
قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِيَدَيَّۖ أَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَالِينَ75
قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِي مِن نَّارٖ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِينٖ76
قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ77
وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ لَعۡنَتِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ78
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ79
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ80
إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ81
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ82
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ83
قَالَ فَٱلۡحَقُّ وَٱلۡحَقَّ أَقُولُ84
لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ85
MESSAGE TO THE DENIERS
86Say, "O Prophet," "I am not asking you for any fees for this 'Quran', and I do not pretend to be what I am not.
87It is only a reminder to the whole world.
88And you will certainly know its truth before long.
"
قُلۡ مَآ أَسَۡٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَكَلِّفِينَ86
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ87
وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُۥ بَعۡدَ حِينِۢ88
