38.1 . Sad . By the renowned Quran ,
38.2 . Nay , but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism .
38.3 . How many a generation We destroyed before them , and they cried out when it was no longer the time for escape!
38.4 . And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them , and the disbelievers say : This is a wizard , a charlatan .
38.5 . Maketh he the gods One God? Lo! that is an astounding thing .
38.6 . The chiefs among them go about , exhorting : Go and be staunch to your gods! Lo! this is a thing designed .
38.7 . We have not heard of this in later religion . This is naught but an invention .
38.8 . Hath the reminder been revealed unto him ( alone ) among us? Nay , but they are in doubt concerning My reminder ; nay but they have not yet tasted My doom .
38.9 . Or are theirs the treasures of the mercy of thy Lord , the Mighty , the Bestower?
38.10 . Or is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them theirs? Then let them ascend by ropes!
38.11 . A defeated host are ( all ) the factions that are there .
38.12 . The folk of Noah before them denied ( their messenger ) and ( so did the tribe of ) Aad , and Pharaoh firmly planted ,
38.13 . And ( the tribe of ) Thamud ; and the folk of Lot , and the dwellers in the wood : these were the factions .
38.14 . Not one of them but did deny the messengers , therefor My doom was justified ,
38.15 . These wait for but one Shout , there will be no second thereto .
38.16 . They say : Our Lord! Hasten on for us our fate before the Day of Reckoning .
38.17 . Bear with what they say , and remember Our bondman David , lord of might . Lo! he was ever turning in repentance ( toward Allah ) .
38.18 . Lo! We subdued the hills to hymn the praises ( of their Lord ) with him at nightfall and sunrise ,
38.19 . And the birds assembled ; all were turning unto Him
38.20 . We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive speech .
