Surah 37: As-Saaffaat سُورَةُ الصَّافَّاتِ
Those drawn up in Ranks · 182 verses
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّا 1
1By those who set the ranks in battle order
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا 2
2And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا 3
3And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ 4
4Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ 5
5Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ 6
6Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ 7
7With security from every froward devil.
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ 8
8They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
دُحُورًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ 9
9Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ 10
10Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ 11
11Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ 12
12Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ 13
13And heed not when they are reminded,
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ 14
14And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ 15
15And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ 16
16When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ 17
17And our forefathers?
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ 18
18Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ 19
19There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ 20
20And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ 21
21This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ 22
22(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 23
23Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ 24
24And stop them, for they must be questioned.
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ 25
25What aileth you that ye help not one another?
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ 26
26Nay, but this day they make full submission.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ 27
27And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ 28
28They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ 29
29They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَٰغِينَ 30
30We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ 31
31Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ 32
32Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ 33
33Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ 34
34Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ 35
35For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ 36
36And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 37
37Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ 38
38Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ 39
39Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 40
40Save single-minded slaves of Allah;
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ 41
41For them there is a known provision,
فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ 42
42Fruits. And they will be honoured
فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 43
43In the Gardens of delight,
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ 44
44On couches facing one another;
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ 45
45A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ 46
46White, delicious to the drinkers,
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ 47
47Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ 48
48And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ 49
49(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ 50
50And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ 51
51A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ 52
52Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ 53
53Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ 54
54He saith: Will ye look?
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 55
55Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ 56
56He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ 57
57And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ 58
58Are we then not to die
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ 59
59Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ 60
60Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ 61
61For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ 62
62Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ 63
63Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 64
64Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ 65
65Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ 66
66And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ 67
67And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ 68
68And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ 69
69They indeed found their fathers astray,
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ 70
70But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 71
71And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ 72
72And verily We sent among them warners.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 73
73Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 74
74Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ 75
75And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 76
76And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ 77
77And made his seed the survivors,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ 78
78And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 79
79Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 80
80Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 81
81Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ 82
82Then We did drown the others.
وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ 83
83And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ 84
84When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ 85
85When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ 86
86Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 87
87What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ 88
88And he glanced a glance at the stars
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ 89
89Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ 90
90And they turned their backs and went away from him.
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ 91
91Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ 92
92What aileth you that ye speak not?
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ 93
93Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ 94
94And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ 95
95He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 96
96When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ 97
97They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ 98
98And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ 99
99And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 100
100My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ 101
101So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
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 102
102And 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.
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ 103
103Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ 104
104We called unto him: O Abraham!
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 105
105Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ 106
106Lo! that verily was a clear test.
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ 107
107Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ 108
108And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ 109
109Peace be unto Abraham!
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 110
110Thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 111
111Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 112
112And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ 113
113And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ 114
114And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 115
115And saved them and their people from the great distress,
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ 116
116And helped them so that they became the victors.
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ 117
117And We gave them the clear Scripture
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ 118
118And showed them the right path.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ 119
119And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ 120
120Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 121
121Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 122
122Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 123
123And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 124
124When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ 125
125Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 126
126Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ 127
127But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 128
128Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ 129
129And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ 130
130Peace be unto Elias!
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 131
131Lo! thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 132
132Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 133
133And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ 134
134When We saved him and his household, every one,
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ 135
135Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ 136
136Then We destroyed the others.
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ 137
137And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ 138
138And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 139
139And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ 140
140When he fled unto the laden ship,
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ 141
141And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ 142
142And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ 143
143And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ 144
144He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ 145
145Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ 146
146And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ 147
147And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ 148
148And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ 149
149Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ 150
150Or created We the angels females while they were present?
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ 151
151Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ 152
152Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ 153
153(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ 154
154What aileth you? How judge ye?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ 155
155Will ye not then reflect?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ 156
156Or have ye a clear warrant?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ 157
157Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ 158
158And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 159
159Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 160
160Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ 161
161Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ 162
162Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 163
163Save him who is to burn in hell.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ 164
164There is not one of us but hath his known position.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ 165
165Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ 166
166Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ 167
167And indeed they used to say:
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 168
168If we had but a reminder from the men of old
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 169
169We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ 170
170Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 171
171And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ 172
172That they verily would be helped,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ 173
173And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 174
174So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 175
175And watch, for they will (soon) see.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 176
176Would they hasten on Our doom?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 177
177But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 178
178Withdraw from them awhile
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 179
179And watch, for they will (soon) see.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 180
180Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 181
181And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 182
182And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
