Chapter 37. Those who set the Ranks
As-Saffat 37:1
وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفّٗا
By those who set the ranks in battle order
As-Saffat 37:2
فَٱلزَّـٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا
And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
As-Saffat 37:3
فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا
And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
As-Saffat 37:4
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ
Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
As-Saffat 37:5
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
As-Saffat 37:6
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ
Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
As-Saffat 37:7
وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ
With security from every froward devil.
As-Saffat 37:8
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ
They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
As-Saffat 37:9
دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ
Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
As-Saffat 37:10
إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ
Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.
As-Saffat 37:11
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ
Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
As-Saffat 37:12
بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ
Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
As-Saffat 37:13
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ
And heed not when they are reminded,
As-Saffat 37:14
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ
And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
As-Saffat 37:15
وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ
And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;
As-Saffat 37:16
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?
As-Saffat 37:17
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
And our forefathers?
As-Saffat 37:18
قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ
Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
As-Saffat 37:19
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ
There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
As-Saffat 37:20
وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
As-Saffat 37:21
هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
As-Saffat 37:22
۞ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
As-Saffat 37:23
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
As-Saffat 37:24
وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ
And stop them, for they must be questioned.
As-Saffat 37:25
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
What aileth you that ye help not one another?
As-Saffat 37:26
بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ
Nay, but this day they make full submission.
As-Saffat 37:27
وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
As-Saffat 37:28
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ
They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
As-Saffat 37:29
قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ
They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
As-Saffat 37:30
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ
We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.
As-Saffat 37:31
فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
As-Saffat 37:32
فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
As-Saffat 37:33
فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ
Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
As-Saffat 37:34
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
As-Saffat 37:35
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
For when it was said unto them, There is no god save Allah, they were scornful
As-Saffat 37:36
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ
And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?
As-Saffat 37:37
بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
As-Saffat 37:38
إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ
Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -
As-Saffat 37:39
وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
As-Saffat 37:40
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Save single-minded slaves of Allah;
As-Saffat 37:41
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
For them there is a known provision,
As-Saffat 37:42
فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ
Fruits. And they will be honoured
As-Saffat 37:43
فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
In the Gardens of delight,
As-Saffat 37:44
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
On couches facing one another;
As-Saffat 37:45
يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ
A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
As-Saffat 37:46
بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
White, delicious to the drinkers,
As-Saffat 37:47
لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ
Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
As-Saffat 37:48
وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ
And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
As-Saffat 37:49
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ
(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
As-Saffat 37:50
فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
As-Saffat 37:51
قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ
A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
As-Saffat 37:52
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ
Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?
As-Saffat 37:53
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?
As-Saffat 37:54
قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
He saith: Will ye look?
As-Saffat 37:55
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
As-Saffat 37:56
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ
He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
As-Saffat 37:57
وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
As-Saffat 37:58
أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Are we then not to die
As-Saffat 37:59
إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
As-Saffat 37:60
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
As-Saffat 37:61
لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ
For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
As-Saffat 37:62
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
As-Saffat 37:63
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
As-Saffat 37:64
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
As-Saffat 37:65
طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
As-Saffat 37:66
فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
As-Saffat 37:67
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
As-Saffat 37:68
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
As-Saffat 37:69
إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ
They indeed found their fathers astray,
As-Saffat 37:70
فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
As-Saffat 37:71
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
As-Saffat 37:72
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
And verily We sent among them warners.
As-Saffat 37:73
فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
As-Saffat 37:74
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
As-Saffat 37:75
وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ
And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
As-Saffat 37:76
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
As-Saffat 37:77
وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ
And made his seed the survivors,
As-Saffat 37:78
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
As-Saffat 37:79
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
As-Saffat 37:80
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
As-Saffat 37:81
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
As-Saffat 37:82
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We did drown the others.
As-Saffat 37:83
۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
As-Saffat 37:84
إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
As-Saffat 37:85
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
As-Saffat 37:86
أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
As-Saffat 37:87
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
As-Saffat 37:88
فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ
And he glanced a glance at the stars
As-Saffat 37:89
فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
As-Saffat 37:90
فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ
And they turned their backs and went away from him.
As-Saffat 37:91
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
As-Saffat 37:92
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ
What aileth you that ye speak not?
As-Saffat 37:93
فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
As-Saffat 37:94
فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ
And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
As-Saffat 37:95
قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
As-Saffat 37:96
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ
When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
As-Saffat 37:97
قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
As-Saffat 37:98
فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
As-Saffat 37:99
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
As-Saffat 37:100
رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
As-Saffat 37:101
فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
As-Saffat 37:102
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
As-Saffat 37:103
فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
As-Saffat 37:104
وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ
We called unto him: O Abraham!
As-Saffat 37:105
قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
As-Saffat 37:106
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ
Lo! that verily was a clear test.
As-Saffat 37:107
وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
As-Saffat 37:108
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
As-Saffat 37:109
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
Peace be unto Abraham!
As-Saffat 37:110
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Thus do We reward the good.
As-Saffat 37:111
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
As-Saffat 37:112
وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
As-Saffat 37:113
وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
As-Saffat 37:114
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
As-Saffat 37:115
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
And saved them and their people from the great distress,
As-Saffat 37:116
وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ
And helped them so that they became the victors.
As-Saffat 37:117
وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ
And We gave them the clear Scripture
As-Saffat 37:118
وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ
And showed them the right path.
As-Saffat 37:119
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
As-Saffat 37:120
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
As-Saffat 37:121
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
As-Saffat 37:122
إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
As-Saffat 37:123
وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
As-Saffat 37:124
إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
As-Saffat 37:125
أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
As-Saffat 37:126
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
As-Saffat 37:127
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
As-Saffat 37:128
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
As-Saffat 37:129
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
As-Saffat 37:130
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ
Peace be unto Elias!
As-Saffat 37:131
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
As-Saffat 37:132
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
As-Saffat 37:133
وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
As-Saffat 37:134
إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
When We saved him and his household, every one,
As-Saffat 37:135
إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
As-Saffat 37:136
ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We destroyed the others.
As-Saffat 37:137
وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
As-Saffat 37:138
وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
As-Saffat 37:139
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
As-Saffat 37:140
إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ
When he fled unto the laden ship,
As-Saffat 37:141
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ
And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
As-Saffat 37:142
فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
As-Saffat 37:143
فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
As-Saffat 37:144
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
As-Saffat 37:145
۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
As-Saffat 37:146
وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
As-Saffat 37:147
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
As-Saffat 37:148
فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
As-Saffat 37:149
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
As-Saffat 37:150
أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ
Or created We the angels females while they were present?
As-Saffat 37:151
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
As-Saffat 37:152
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
As-Saffat 37:153
أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
As-Saffat 37:154
مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ
What aileth you? How judge ye?
As-Saffat 37:155
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Will ye not then reflect?
As-Saffat 37:156
أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ
Or have ye a clear warrant?
As-Saffat 37:157
فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
As-Saffat 37:158
وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
As-Saffat 37:159
سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
As-Saffat 37:160
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
As-Saffat 37:161
فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
As-Saffat 37:162
مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
As-Saffat 37:163
إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Save him who is to burn in hell.
As-Saffat 37:164
وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
As-Saffat 37:165
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
As-Saffat 37:166
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
As-Saffat 37:167
وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ
And indeed they used to say:
As-Saffat 37:168
لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
As-Saffat 37:169
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
As-Saffat 37:170
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
As-Saffat 37:171
وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
As-Saffat 37:172
إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ
That they verily would be helped,
As-Saffat 37:173
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
As-Saffat 37:174
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
As-Saffat 37:175
وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
As-Saffat 37:176
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
Would they hasten on Our doom?
As-Saffat 37:177
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
As-Saffat 37:178
وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
Withdraw from them awhile
As-Saffat 37:179
وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ
And watch, for they will (soon) see.

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)

As-Saffat 37:182
وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
