Surah Those who set the ranks [As-Saaffat] in English
وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا ﴿١﴾
By the rangers ranging
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا ﴿٢﴾
and the scarers scaring
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ﴿٣﴾
and the reciters of a Remembrance,
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ ﴿٤﴾
surely your God is One,
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ﴿٥﴾
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and of what between them is Lord of the Easts.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ﴿٦﴾
We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars
وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ﴿٧﴾
and to preserve against every rebel Satan;
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ﴿٨﴾
they listen not to the High Council, for they are pelted from every side,
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ﴿٩﴾
rejected, and theirs is an everlasting chastisement,
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ﴿١٠﴾
except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ ﴿١١﴾
So ask them for a pronouncement -- Are they stronger in constitution, or those We created? We created them of clinging clay.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ﴿١٢﴾
Nay, thou marvellest; and they scoff
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ﴿١٣﴾
and, when reminded, do not remember
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾
and, when they see a sign, would scoff;
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٥﴾
and they say, 'This is nothing but manifest sorcery.
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿١٦﴾
What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised up?
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿١٧﴾
What, and our fathers, the ancients?'
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾
Say: 'Yes, and in all lowliness.'
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿١٩﴾
For it is only a single scaring, then behold, they are watching
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٢٠﴾
and they say, 'Woe, alas for us! This is the Day of Doom.'
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢١﴾
'This is the Day of Decision, even that you cried lies to.
۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾
Muster those who did evil, their wives, and that they were serving,
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٢٣﴾
apart from God, and guide them unto the path of Hell!
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾
And halt them, to be questioned:
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
\"Why help you not one another?\"
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾
No indeed; but today they resign themselves in submission
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾
and advance one upon another, asking each other questions.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٢٨﴾
These say, 'Why, you of old would come to us from the right hand.'
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾
Those say, 'No; on the contrary, you were not believers;
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾
we had no authority over you; no, you were an insolent people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ﴿٣١﴾
So our Lord's Word is realised against us; we are tasting it.
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾
Therefore we perverted you, and we ourselves were perverts.'
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾
So all of them on that day are sharers in the chastisement.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾
Even so We do with the sinners;
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾
for when it was said to them, 'There is no god but God,' they were ever waxing proud,
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ﴿٣٦﴾
saying, 'What, shall we forsake our gods for a poet possessed?'
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾
'No indeed; but he brought the truth, and confirmed the Envoys.
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ﴿٣٨﴾
Now certainly you shall be tasting the painful chastisement,
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾
and not be recompensed, except according to what you were doing.'
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾
Except for God's sincere servants;
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿٤١﴾
for them awaits a known provision,
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾
fruits -- and they high-honoured
فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٤٣﴾
in the Gardens of Bliss
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾
upon couches, set face to face,
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ﴿٤٥﴾
a cup from a spring being passed round to them,
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾
white, a delight to the drinkers,
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
wherein no sickness is, neither intoxication;
وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ﴿٤٨﴾
and with them wide-eyed maidens restraining their glances
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ﴿٤٩﴾
as if they were hidden pearls.
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
They advance one upon another, asking each other questions.
قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ﴿٥١﴾
One of them says, 'I had a comrade
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ﴿٥٢﴾
who would say, \"Are you a confirmer?
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾
What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be requited?\"
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾
He says, 'Are you looking down?'
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٥٥﴾
Then he looks, and sees him in the midst of Hell.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ﴿٥٦﴾
He says, 'By God, wellnigh thou didst destroy me;
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ﴿٥٧﴾
But for my Lord's blessing, I were one of the arraigned.
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ﴿٥٨﴾
What, do we then not die
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿٥٩﴾
except for our first death, and are we not chastised?
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٦٠﴾
This is indeed the mighty triumph,
لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
for the like of this let the workers work.'
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿٦٢﴾
Is that better as a hospitality, or the Tree of Ez-Zakkoum?
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴿٦٣﴾
We have appointed it as a trial for the evildoers.
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٦٤﴾
It is a tree that comes forth in the root of Hell;
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ﴿٦٥﴾
its spathes are as the heads of Satans,
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾
and they eat of it, and of it fill their bellies,
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ﴿٦٧﴾
then on top of it they have a brew of boiling water,
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٦٨﴾
then their return is unto Hell.
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ﴿٦٩﴾
They found their fathers erring,
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾
and they run in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٧١﴾
Before them erred most of the ancients,
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ﴿٧٢﴾
and We sent among them warners;
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿٧٣﴾
and behold, how was the end of them that were warned,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٧٤﴾
except for God's sincere servants.
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾
Noah called to Us; and how excellent were the Answerers!
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٧٦﴾
And We delivered him and his people from the great distress,
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾
and We made his seed the survivors,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿٧٨﴾
and left for him among the later folk
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٧٩﴾
'Peace be upon Noah among all beings!'
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾
Even so We recompense the good-doers;
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨١﴾
he was among Our believing servants.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿٨٢﴾
Then afterwards We drowned the rest.
۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿٨٣﴾
Of his party was also Abraham;
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ﴿٨٤﴾
when he came unto his Lord with a pure heart,
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾
when he said to his father and his folk, 'What do you serve?
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾
Is it a calumny, gods apart from God, that you desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾
What think you then of the Lord of all Being?'
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ﴿٨٨﴾
And he cast a glance at the stars,
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿٨٩﴾
and he said, 'Surely I am sick.'
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾
But they went away from him, turning their backs.
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾
Then he turned to their gods, and said, 'What do you eat?
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾
What ails you, that you speak not?'
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٩٣﴾
And he turned upon them smiting them with his right hand.
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ﴿٩٤﴾
Then came the others to him hastening.
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ﴿٩٥﴾
He said, 'Do you serve what you hew,
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾
and God created you and what you make?'
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿٩٧﴾
They said, 'Build him a building, and cast him into the furnace!'
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ﴿٩٨﴾
They desired to outwit him; so We made them the lower ones.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿٩٩﴾
He said, 'I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿١٠٠﴾
My Lord, give me one of the righteous.'
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ﴿١٠١﴾
Then We gave him the good tidings of a prudent boy;
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٠٢﴾
and when he had reached the age of running with him, he said, 'My son, I see in a dream that I shall sacrifice thee; consider, what thinkest thou?' He said, 'My father, do as thou art bidden; thou shalt find me, God willing, one of the steadfast.'
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ﴿١٠٣﴾
When they had surrendered, and he flung him upon his brow,
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ﴿١٠٤﴾
We called unto him, 'Abraham,
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٠٥﴾
thou hast confirmed the vision; even so We recompense the good-doers.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٠٦﴾
This is indeed the manifest trial.'
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ﴿١٠٧﴾
And We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١٠٨﴾
and left for him among the later folk
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿١٠٩﴾
'Peace be upon Abraham!'
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١١٠﴾
Even so We recompense the good-doers;
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١١١﴾
he was among Our believing servants.
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿١١٢﴾
Then We gave him the good tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the righteous.
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ ﴿١١٣﴾
And We blessed him, and Isaac; and of their seed some are good-doers, and some manifest self-wrongers.
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾
We also favoured Moses and Aaron,
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿١١٥﴾
and We delivered them and their people from the great distress.
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ﴿١١٦﴾
And We helped them, so that they were the victors;
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ﴿١١٧﴾
and We gave them the Manifesting Book,
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿١١٨﴾
and guided them in the straight path,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١١٩﴾
and left for them among the later folk
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿١٢٠﴾
'Peace be upon Moses and, Aaron!'
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٢١﴾
Even so We recompense the good-doers;
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٢٢﴾
they were among Our believing servants.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾
Elias too was one of the Envoys;
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾
when he said to his people, 'Will you not be godfearing?
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ﴿١٢٥﴾
Do you call on Baal, and abandon the Best of creators?
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٢٦﴾
God, your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients?'
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿١٢٧﴾
But they cried him lies; so they will be among the arraigned,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٢٨﴾
except for God's sincere servants;
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١٢٩﴾
and We left for him among the later folk
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ﴿١٣٠﴾
'Peace be upon Elias!'
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٣١﴾
Even so We recompense the good-doers;
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٣٢﴾
he was among Our believing servants.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٣٣﴾
Lot too was one of the Envoys;
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿١٣٤﴾
when We delivered him and his people all together,
إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ﴿١٣٥﴾
save an old woman among those that tarried;
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿١٣٦﴾
then We destroyed the others,
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ﴿١٣٧﴾
and you pass by them in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٣٨﴾
and in the night; will you not understand?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٣٩﴾
Jonah too was one of the Envoys;
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ﴿١٤٠﴾
when he ran away to the laden ship
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿١٤١﴾
and cast lots, and was of the rebutted,
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ﴿١٤٢﴾
then the whale swallowed him down, and he blameworthy.
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ﴿١٤٣﴾
Now had he not been of those that glorify God,
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿١٤٤﴾
he would have tarried in its belly until the day they shall be raised;
۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿١٤٥﴾
but We cast him upon the wilderness, and he was sick,
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ﴿١٤٦﴾
and We caused to grow over him a tree of gourds.
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ﴿١٤٧﴾
Then We sent him unto a hundred thousand, or more,
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٤٨﴾
and they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ﴿١٤٩﴾
So ask them for a pronouncement -- Has thy Lord daughters, and they sons?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ﴿١٥٠﴾
Or did We create the angels females, while they were witnesses?
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿١٥١﴾
Is it not of their own calumny that they say,
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ﴿١٥٢﴾
'God has begotten?' They are truly liars.
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ﴿١٥٣﴾
Has He chosen daughters above sons?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿١٥٤﴾
What ails you then, how you judge?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿١٥٥﴾
What, and will you not remember?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿١٥٦﴾
Or have you a clear authority?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿١٥٧﴾
Bring your Book, if you speak truly!
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿١٥٨﴾
They have set up a kinship between Him and the jinn; and the jinn know that they shall be arraigned.
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿١٥٩﴾
Glory be to God above that they describe,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٦٠﴾
except for God's sincere servants.
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿١٦١﴾
But as for you, and that you serve,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ﴿١٦٢﴾
you shall not tempt any against Him
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿١٦٣﴾
except him who shall roast in Hell.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿١٦٤﴾
None of us is there, but has a known station;
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ﴿١٦٥﴾
we are the rangers,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿١٦٦﴾
we are they that give glory.
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿١٦٧﴾
What though they would say,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٦٨﴾
'If only we had had a Reminder from the ancients,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿١٦٩﴾
then were we God's sincere servants.'
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٧٠﴾
But they disbelieved in it; soon they shall know!
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٧١﴾
Already Our Word has preceded to Our servants, the Envoys;
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ﴿١٧٢﴾
assuredly they shall be helped,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ﴿١٧٣﴾
and Our host -- they are the victors.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٧٤﴾
So turn thou from them for a while,
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿١٧٥﴾
and see them; soon they shall see!
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿١٧٦﴾
What, do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿١٧٧﴾
When it lights in their courtyard, how evil will be the morning of them that are warned!
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿١٧٨﴾
So turn thou from them for a while,
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿١٧٩﴾
and see; soon they shall see!
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿١٨٠﴾
Glory be to thy Lord, the Lord of Glory, above that they describe!
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿١٨١﴾
And peace be upon the Envoys;
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٨٢﴾
and praise belongs to God, the Lord of all Being.
