Surah Saad

Manifesting, face, to reveal, to show

1-To the One who splits and reveals. The Owner of remembrance reveals Himself from the book ofthe universe.

2-But those who remain in greatness ignore the truths and think that they are separate from the Truth.

3-How many generations before them did not understand Us and perished. Whenever they were calledto the truths, they immediately took refuge in their own worshippers.

4-When one of them came to them calling to the truths, they were surprised and ignored the truths,saying, “This is a deceiver with his lies.”

5-Has Allah made all the deities too? Indeed, this is a marvelous thing, they said.

6-Their leaders avoided listening to the truths and said to the others, “You also separate and be patientwith our deities. This is what is asked of you.”

7-We have not heard such a thing from the communities we live with, this is nothing but a fabrication.

8-They said, “Was it given to him to tell us something from among us?” Rather, they were in doubtabout understanding Us. Rather, they were in their own pleasures and worries.

9-Or do the values belong to them, the Exalted Owner of all values, the Mercy that bestows allqualities?

10-Or are they the Sovereigns of the heavens and the earth and everything in them? So, let them reachthe exalted station of the One who caused existence.

11-All those who understood that way were divided into sects and became losers.

12-Before them, the people of Noah and the people of Ad and the arrogant Pharaoh denied the truths.

13-The people of Thamud and Lot and the people of Eyke, they were divided among them.

14-All of them denied the ones who showed them the truth. So, they were in difficulty because theycould not understand the truths.

15-They could not understand the voice that is the only voice in all existence, the powerful voice.They did not wait even for a short time to understand the truths.

16-They said: O our Lord! Give us our share before the time of death comes.

17-Be patient with what they say and remember the truths. Our servant David understood the Powerthat is in him and in all existence, and he was the one who turned to the truths.

18-While he was in the mountains, he understood that We created everything. Those who were withhim were in understanding the truths morning and evening.

19-He understood that all existence returned to Him and was lost in His Sublimity.

20-He understood that the body he possessed moved by Our power, and he understood the wisdom inthe truths We presented, and he distinguished between truth and falsehood, and spoke the truths.

21-Has not the news of those adversaries who ascended above his station, while he was turning to hisLord, come to you?

22-When they came to David, he suddenly feared them. They said, “Do not fear! We have becomeenemies and have attacked one another. So, judge between us with truth and show us the way of truth,do not transgress, but guide us to the path that is just.”

23-One of them said: This is my brother. He has ninety-nine sheep and I have one sheep. But he saidto me: Give it to me and prevailed over me by speaking.

24-David said: Indeed, he has been one of the wrongdoers by requesting to add your one sheep to hisown. And most people want everything for themselves and act unjustly towards each other, exceptthose who believe and work righteously. And David thought for a while and understood that it was notthem, but he himself who was being tested by saying that what is ours is His. So, he immediatelysought forgiveness from his Lord and understood to whom all the attributes belong, and he submittedand turned .

25-So, he attained Our forgiveness. Thus, he became close to the truths that belong to Us and returnedto the place of return in a beautiful way.26-O David! When you understand the truths We have presented, convey them to those who followyou on earth. So, judge between people with truth and do not follow your own interests. Otherwise,you will stray from the path of Allah to your own ignorance. Indeed, those who stray from the path ofAllah to their own ignorance always forget to seek the truths and they will remain in more trouble.

27-We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything in them in vain. That is what those whoignore the truths think. Unfortunately, those who ignore the truths will be in fire.

28-Can those who understand Our order in the whole universe, believe and work in the right path belike those who create corruption on earth? Can those who understand Our order in the whole universe,avoid evil and do not associate partners with Allah be like those who turn away from the truth andremain in evil?

29-We have presented to you every being as a book in a blessed manner, so that you may carefullyexamine the evidence in it, use your minds in accordance with the truth, and look at this world withthe truths you have reached, and live accordingly.30-We bestowed upon David, Solomon. He understood His servitude well. Indeed, he always turned tothe truth.

31- At the moment of his attention, he was shown the lineage from which all existence came, and whatmoves all existence.32-Thus, he said: I have become attached to love with a love. I have become attached to theremembrance of my Lord, even to the form of the world of forms.33- He abandoned his ignorance and returned to his origin, thus purifying himself. He turned to theExalted, not turning to any other place.34-Indeed, Solomon thought carefully to understand Us. He contemplated the realities of the form Wecreated on a spiritual station and turned to Us.

35- He said: O my Lord, forgive me and grant me the understanding of the inner nature of existence,so that I may not later stray from the consciousness of unity. Surely, all blessings are from You.

36-So, he understood that We cover all the places. He felt the functionings of every being in peacefrom every side, just as the wind blows.

37-38-And all those who were in satanic states, those who acted arrogantly and attributed thefunctionings to themselves, and those who attributed injustice to themselves, and all those who were inthose states, were tied together in clamps.

39-So, David understood the blessings We had bestowed upon him. Then, he held fast to the truthswithout expecting anything.

40-Indeed, he reached the exalted station that belonged to Us and turned in a good manner.

41-And remember Our servant Job when he called to his Lord: Satanic states, diseases and hardshipshave made me weary.

42-It was stated, “Move firmly on the path you are on, and you will be cleansed and relieved with thetruths you will reach, and you will benefit.”

43-We bestowed upon him friends like him. Those who acted with them, by Our mercy, sought thetruths like them and used their minds in accordance with the truth, and they tried to understand andexplain the truths.

44-It was stated to Job, “Withdraw your hand from the satanic states that made you heedless, then stayaway from them and do not break your covenant. Indeed, he was patient, devoted to Us with a divinelove, he was a good servant, and indeed, he always turned to the truth.

45-And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They were of those who knew the Ownerof power and of those who understood the truths.

46-Indeed, they were devoted to Us with all their sincerity. His deeds were always based on the truth.He always spoke the truth wherever he was.

47-Indeed, they were the ones who acted with our truths, who were on the path of goodness, and weredistinguished.

48-And remember Ismail, al-Yesa and Zulkif. All of them were on the path of goodness.

49-All of these are the remembrance of those who were on the path of truth. Indeed, those who guardthemselves from evil and do not associate partners with Allah are in the best place of return.

50-They have discovered the reality of existence, they have reached the peace of understanding allmanifestations.

51-They are in the comfort of reaching the reality they were looking for, they have understood thereality of multiplicity and they are in the pleasure of wisdom.

52-And they are always on the path of Truth, wherever they look, they look at all beings from theaspect of truth without discrimination.

53-These are the things that you are promised when you are constantly examining the realities.

54-Surely, these are Our blessings that never end.

55-Just like that. Those who do not realize Allah and take idols, they are revolving in evil.

56-Their state is to be in a state of destruction. What an evil state that is.

57-This is because they take pleasure in their anger and because of the filth of ignorance that they havecreated.

58-The state of many who act in the same states and remain in forms is like this.

59-These groups lead each other into evil, they are aggressive. They have no sincere friendship.Surely, they are in a state of burning and destructiveness.

60-They will say to each other: It was you who brought us to evil and destroyed friendship, so what abad state we are in!

61-They will say: O our Lord! Whoever caused us to fall into this state, increase us in hardship in thefire!

62-They will say: We did not understand their truth, we were not perfect, we followed the words ofthose who were in the way of evil.

63-They will say: We have learned mockery and contempt from them. Or is it that our views havedeviated from the truth?

64-Surely, these are the truths. Those who are in enmity are in a state of burning and destructiveness.

65-Say: I am only a warner, calling to the truth. Do not take anything as a deity, but understand thatthe One who holds everything tightly with His manifestations is Allah.

66-He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. He is the Supreme Owner ofall values, the Bestower of all attributes.

67-68-Say: He is the One who informs all beings of their truths, the One who decides on theirfunctioning. You are not separate from Him.

69-70-Say: When the wise men consider the truths, I had no knowledge of them. They were revealedto me. I only explain the truths clearly and warn them.

71-Your Lord has informed you: Understand that I am the Owner of the Power in all beings, and that Icreated man from My essence.

72-I have created man with the most beautiful attributes and breathed into him from My spirit. So,understand this truth and surrender with your whole being.

73-Thus, a person who understands the power in all beings in a whole; passes through his whole beingand becomes in a state of surrender.

74-However, whoever remains in the form of existence and does not see its nature is not insubmission, but remains in arrogance and is one of those who ignore and conceal the truths.

75-It has been stated: O you who remain in forms! You were created with all my attributes, but youbecame arrogant, what prevented you from surrendering? Or does the glory belong to you?

76-The one who remains in forms; remains in self, cannot understand creation due to its burning anddestructive states, sees himself as better than other creations and sees those creations as a form andcannot see its nature.

77-Then, it is stated to the one: You remained in the outer form of existence, you could not see itsinner one. Indeed, you have moved yourself away from the truth.

78-And Indeed, you have not understood the One who has existence at every moment with the laws ofcreation, you have moved yourself away from mercy.

79-Then he says: O my Lord, grant me time until I understand the life.

80-It is stated: Indeed, you have always delayed understanding that truth.

81-But the time is until the appointed time.

82-Then he says: After this, all who follow me will attribute your values to themselves and willcertainly move themselves away from the truth.

83-Except for those of them who are completely attached to the truth and understand that they areYour servants.

84-It is stated: This is the truth that is true and that is spoken,

85-Those like you and all who follow you are surely in the hell of ignorance.

86-Say: I do not ask you for any reward, nor do I claim anything and expect a reward.

87-This is only a reminder of the truths for all people.

88-You will surely learn the truths that were stated after a while.
