#392 Podcast Al Qur'an Juz 23 Surah 38 Shad verses 15-26

[Quran Chapter 38] 15. These can expect only a single scream, from which there is no recovery. 16. And they say, "Our Lord, hasten Your writ upon us, before the Day of Account." 17. Be patient in the face of what they say, and mention Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient. 18. We committed the mountains to glorify with him, in the evening and at daybreak. 19. And the birds, gathered together. All obedient to him. 20. And We strengthened his kingdom, and gave him wisdom and decisive speech. 21. Has the story of the two disputants reached you? When they scaled the sanctuary? 22. When they entered upon David, and he was startled by them. They said, "Do not fear. Two disputants; one of us has wronged the other; so judge between us fairly, and do not be biased, and guide us to the straight way." 23. "This brother of mine has ninety nine ewes, and I have one ewe, and he said, 'Entrust it to me,' and he pressured me with words." 24. He said, "He has done you wrong by asking your ewe in addition to his ewes. Many partners take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good deeds, but these are so few." David realized that We were testing him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down to his knees, and repented. 25. So We forgave him that. And for him is nearness to Us, and a good place of return. 26. "O David, We made you a ruler in the land, so judge between the people with justice, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from Allah's path. Those who stray from Allah's path will have a painful punishment, for having ignored the Day of Account."
