38:21

Have you heard the story of the two litigants who climbed into his private quarters?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:22

When they reached David, he took fright, but they said, ‘Do not be afraid. We are two litigants, one of whom has wronged the other: judge between us fairly- do not be unjust- and guide us to the right path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:23

This is my brother. He had ninety-nine ewes and I just the one, and he said, “Let me take charge of her,” and overpowered me with his words.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:24

David said, ‘He has done you wrong by demanding to add your ewe to his flock. Many partners treat each other unfairly. Those who sincerely believe and do good deeds do not do this, but these are very few.’ [Then] David realized that We had been testing him, so he asked his Lord for forgiveness, fell down on his knees, and repented:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:25

We forgave him [his misdeed]. His reward will be nearness to Us, a good place to return to.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:26

‘David, We have given you mastery over the land. Judge fairly between people. Do not follow your desires, lest they divert you from God’s path: those who wander from His path will have a painful torment because they ignore the Day of Reckoning.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:27

It was not without purpose that We created the heavens and the earth and everything in between. That may be what the disbelievers assume- how they will suffer from the Fire!-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:28

but would We treat those who believe and do good deeds and those who spread corruption on earth as equal? Would We treat those who are aware of God and those who recklessly break all bounds in the same way?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:29

This is a blessed Scripture which We sent down to you [Muhammad], for people to think about its messages, and for those with understanding to take heed.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:30

We gave David Solomon. He was an excellent servant who always turned to God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:31

When well-bred light-footed horses were paraded before him near the close of day,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:32

he kept saying, ‘My love of fine things is part of my remembering my Lord!’ until [the horses] disappeared from sight-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:33

‘Bring them back!’ [he said] and started to stroke their legs and necks.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:34

We certainly tested Solomon, reducing him to a mere skeleton on his throne.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:35

He turned to Us and prayed: ‘Lord forgive me! Grant me such power as no one after me will have- You are the Most Generous Provider.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:36

So We gave him power over the wind, which at his request ran gently wherever he willed,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:37

and the jinn––every kind of builder and diver

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:38

and others chained in fetters.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:39

‘This is Our gift, so give or withhold as you wish without account.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:40

His reward will be nearness to Us, and a good place to return to.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:41

Bring to mind Our servant Job who cried to his Lord, ‘Satan has afflicted me with weariness and suffering.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:42

‘Stamp your foot! Here is cool water for you to wash in and drink,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:43

and We restored his family to him, with many more like them: a sign of Our mercy and a lesson to all who understand.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:44

‘Take a small bunch of grass in your hand, and strike [her] with that so as not to break your oath.’ We found him patient in adversity; an excellent servant! He, too, always turned to God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

38:45
