As-Saffat Those drawn up in Ranks

وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا ۝١

37:1 By those who set the ranks in battle order

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا ۝٢

37:2 And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۝٣

37:3 And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ ۝٤

37:4 Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ ۝٥

37:5 Lord 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 ۝٦

37:6 Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ ۝٧

37:7 With security from every froward devil.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ ۝٨

37:8 They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ ۝٩

37:9 Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ۝١٠

37:10 Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ ۝١١

37:11 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.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ۝١٢

37:12 Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ۝١٣

37:13 And heed not when they are reminded,

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ۝١٤

37:14 And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥

37:15 And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ۝١٦

37:16 When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۝١٧

37:17 And our forefathers?

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ۝١٨

37:18 Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝١٩

37:19 There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٠

37:20 And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢١

37:21 This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ۝٢٢

37:22 (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 ۝٢٣

37:23 Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ۝٢٤

37:24 And stop them, for they must be questioned.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ۝٢٥

37:25 What aileth you that ye help not one another?

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ۝٢٦

37:26 Nay, but this day they make full submission.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢٧

37:27 And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٢٨

37:28 They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢٩

37:29 They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ ۝٣٠

37:30 We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ۝٣١

37:31 Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).

فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ ۝٣٢

37:32 Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ۝٣٣

37:33 Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٣٤

37:34 Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ۝٣٥

37:35 For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ۝٣٦

37:36 And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٣٧

37:37 Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ۝٣٨

37:38 Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٣٩

37:39 Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤٠

37:40 Save single-minded slaves of Allah;

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝٤١

37:41 For them there is a known provision,

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

37:42 Fruits. And they will be honoured

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٤٣

37:43 In the Gardens of delight,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ۝٤٤

37:44 On couches facing one another;

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ۝٤٥

37:45 A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ ۝٤٦

37:46 White, delicious to the drinkers,

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ۝٤٧

37:47 Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ ۝٤٨

37:48 And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ ۝٤٩

37:49 (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٥٠

37:50 And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ ۝٥١

37:51 A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝٥٢

37:52 Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ۝٥٣

37:53 Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝٥٤

37:54 He saith: Will ye look?

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٥

37:55 Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝٥٦

37:56 He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ۝٥٧

37:57 And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝٥٨

37:58 Are we then not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٥٩

37:59 Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٦٠

37:60 Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ ۝٦١

37:61 For the like of this, then, let the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٦٢

37:62 Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ۝٦٣

37:63 Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٤

37:64 Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۝٦٥

37:65 Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ۝٦٦

37:66 And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ۝٦٧

37:67 And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٨

37:68 And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ۝٦٩

37:69 They indeed found their fathers astray,

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ۝٧٠

37:70 But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٧١

37:71 And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ۝٧٢

37:72 And verily We sent among them warners.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝٧٣

37:73 Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٧٤

37:74 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ۝٧٥

37:75 And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٧٦

37:76 And We saved him and his household from the great distress,

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝٧٧

37:77 And made his seed the survivors,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝٧٨

37:78 And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٧٩

37:79 Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝٨٠

37:80 Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٨١

37:81 Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝٨٢

37:82 Then We did drown the others.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٨٣

37:83 And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ۝٨٤

37:84 When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝٨٥

37:85 When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ۝٨٦

37:86 Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٨٧

37:87 What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٨٨

37:88 And he glanced a glance at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ ۝٨٩

37:89 Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ۝٩٠

37:90 And they turned their backs and went away from him.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝٩١

37:91 Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝٩٢

37:92 What aileth you that ye speak not?

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٩٣

37:93 Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ۝٩٤

37:94 And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ۝٩٥

37:95 He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٩٦

37:96 When Allah hath created you and what ye make?

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٩٧

37:97 They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ۝٩٨

37:98 And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٩٩

37:99 And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۝١٠٠

37:100 My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ ۝١٠١

37:101 So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ۝١٠٢

37:102 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.

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ۝١٠٣

37:103 Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,

وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۝١٠٤

37:104 We called unto him: O Abraham!

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٠٥

37:105 Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝١٠٦

37:106 Lo! that verily was a clear test.

وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝١٠٧

37:107 Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١٠٨

37:108 And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝١٠٩

37:109 Peace be unto Abraham!

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١١٠

37:110 Thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

37:111 Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۝١١٢

37:112 And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ ۝١١٣

37:113 And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

37:114 And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝١١٥

37:115 And saved them and their people from the great distress,

وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ۝١١٦

37:116 And helped them so that they became the victors.

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ۝١١٧

37:117 And We gave them the clear Scripture

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝١١٨

37:118 And showed them the right path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١١٩

37:119 And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝١٢٠

37:120 Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٢١

37:121 Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢٢

37:122 Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢٣

37:123 And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

37:124 When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ ۝١٢٥

37:125 Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٢٦

37:126 Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٢٧

37:127 But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٢٨

37:128 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١٢٩

37:129 And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ۝١٣٠

37:130 Peace be unto Elias!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٣١

37:131 Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٣٢

37:132 Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٣٣

37:133 And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١٣٤

37:134 When We saved him and his household, every one,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ۝١٣٥

37:135 Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝١٣٦

37:136 Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝١٣٧

37:137 And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ۝١٣٨

37:138 And at night-time; have ye then no sense?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٣٩

37:139 And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١٤٠

37:140 When he fled unto the laden ship,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ۝١٤١

37:141 And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ۝١٤٢

37:142 And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ۝١٤٣

37:143 And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

37:144 He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ۝١٤٥

37:145 Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ ۝١٤٦

37:146 And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ۝١٤٧

37:147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٤٨

37:148 And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝١٤٩

37:149 Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥٠

37:150 Or created We the angels females while they were present?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

37:151 Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

37:152 Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ۝١٥٣

37:153 (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

37:154 What aileth you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

37:155 Will ye not then reflect?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥٦

37:156 Or have ye a clear warrant?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥٧

37:157 Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٥٨

37:158 And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٥٩

37:159 Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦٠

37:160 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

37:161 Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ ۝١٦٢

37:162 Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦٣

37:163 Save him who is to burn in hell.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝١٦٤

37:164 There is not one of us but hath his known position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

37:165 Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

37:166 Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٦٧

37:167 And indeed they used to say:

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٦٨

37:168 If we had but a reminder from the men of old

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦٩

37:169 We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝١٧٠

37:170 Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٧١

37:171 And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝١٧٢

37:172 That they verily would be helped,

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ۝١٧٣

37:173 And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٧٤

37:174 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٧٥

37:175 And watch, for they will (soon) see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١٧٦

37:176 Would they hasten on Our doom?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١٧٧

37:177 But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٧٨

37:178 Withdraw from them awhile

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٧٩

37:179 And watch, for they will (soon) see.

سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٨٠

37:180 Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٨١

37:181 And peace be unto those sent (to warn).

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝١٨٢

37:182 And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
