As-Saffat Those drawn up in Ranks

سورة الصافات

  1. بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا ۝١

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

  2. فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا ۝٢

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

  3. فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۝٣

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

  4. إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ ۝٤

    37:4 Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

  5. 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.

  6. إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ۝٦

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

  7. وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ ۝٧

    37:7 With security from every froward devil.

  8. 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,

  9. دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ ۝٩

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

  10. إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ۝١٠

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

  11. 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.

  12. بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ۝١٢

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

  13. وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ۝١٣

    37:13 And heed not when they are reminded,

  14. وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ۝١٤

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

  15. وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥

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

  16. 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)?

  17. أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۝١٧

    37:17 And our forefathers?

  18. قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ۝١٨

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

  19. فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝١٩

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

  20. وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٠

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

  21. هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢١

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

  22. 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

  23. مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٢٣

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

  24. وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ۝٢٤

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

  25. مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ۝٢٥

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

  26. بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ۝٢٦

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

  27. وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢٧

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

  28. 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).

  29. قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢٩

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

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

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

  31. 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).

  32. فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ ۝٣٢

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

  33. فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ۝٣٣

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

  34. إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٣٤

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

  35. 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

  36. وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ۝٣٦

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

  37. بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٣٧

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

  38. إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ۝٣٨

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

  39. وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٣٩

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

  40. إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤٠

    37:40 Save single-minded slaves of Allah;

  41. أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝٤١

    37:41 For them there is a known provision,

  42. فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

    37:42 Fruits. And they will be honoured

  43. فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٤٣

    37:43 In the Gardens of delight,

  44. عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ۝٤٤

    37:44 On couches facing one another;

  45. يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ۝٤٥

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

  46. بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ ۝٤٦

    37:46 White, delicious to the drinkers,

  47. لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ۝٤٧

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

  48. وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ ۝٤٨

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

  49. كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ ۝٤٩

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

  50. فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٥٠

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

  51. قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ ۝٥١

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

  52. يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝٥٢

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

  53. 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?

  54. قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝٥٤

    37:54 He saith: Will ye look?

  55. فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٥

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

  56. قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝٥٦

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

  57. 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).

  58. أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝٥٨

    37:58 Are we then not to die

  59. إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٥٩

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

  60. إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٦٠

    37:60 Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

  61. لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ ۝٦١

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

  62. أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٦٢

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

  63. إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ۝٦٣

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

  64. إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٤

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

  65. طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۝٦٥

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

  66. فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ۝٦٦

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

  67. ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ۝٦٧

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

  68. ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٨

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

  69. إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ۝٦٩

    37:69 They indeed found their fathers astray,

  70. فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ۝٧٠

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

  71. وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٧١

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

  72. وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ۝٧٢

    37:72 And verily We sent among them warners.

  73. فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝٧٣

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

  74. إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٧٤

    37:74 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

  75. وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ۝٧٥

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

  76. وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٧٦

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

  77. وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝٧٧

    37:77 And made his seed the survivors,

  78. وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝٧٨

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

  79. سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٧٩

    37:79 Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

  80. إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝٨٠

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

  81. إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٨١

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

  82. ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝٨٢

    37:82 Then We did drown the others.

  83. وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٨٣

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

  84. إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ۝٨٤

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

  85. إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝٨٥

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

  86. أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ۝٨٦

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

  87. فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٨٧

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

  88. فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٨٨

    37:88 And he glanced a glance at the stars

  89. فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ ۝٨٩

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

  90. فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ۝٩٠

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

  91. فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝٩١

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

  92. مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝٩٢

    37:92 What aileth you that ye speak not?

  93. فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٩٣

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

  94. فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ۝٩٤

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

  95. قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ۝٩٥

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

  96. وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٩٦

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

  97. قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٩٧

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

  98. فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ۝٩٨

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

  99. وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٩٩

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

  100. رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۝١٠٠

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

  101. فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ ۝١٠١

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

  102. 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.

  103. فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ۝١٠٣

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

  104. وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۝١٠٤

    37:104 We called unto him: O Abraham!

  105. قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٠٥

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

  106. إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝١٠٦

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

  107. وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝١٠٧

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

  108. وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١٠٨

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

  109. سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝١٠٩

    37:109 Peace be unto Abraham!

  110. كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١١٠

    37:110 Thus do We reward the good.

  111. إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

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

  112. وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۝١١٢

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

  113. 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.

  114. وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

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

  115. وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝١١٥

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

  116. وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ ۝١١٦

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

  117. وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ۝١١٧

    37:117 And We gave them the clear Scripture

  118. وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝١١٨

    37:118 And showed them the right path.

  119. وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١١٩

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

  120. سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ۝١٢٠

    37:120 Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

  121. إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٢١

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

  122. إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢٢

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

  123. وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢٣

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

  124. إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

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

  125. أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ ۝١٢٥

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

  126. ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٢٦

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

  127. فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٢٧

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

  128. إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٢٨

    37:128 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

  129. وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١٢٩

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

  130. سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ۝١٣٠

    37:130 Peace be unto Elias!

  131. إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٣١

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

  132. إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٣٢

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

  133. وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٣٣

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

  134. إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١٣٤

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

  135. إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ۝١٣٥

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

  136. ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝١٣٦

    37:136 Then We destroyed the others.

  137. وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝١٣٧

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

  138. وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ۝١٣٨

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

  139. وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٣٩

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

  140. إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١٤٠

    37:140 When he fled unto the laden ship,

  141. فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ۝١٤١

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

  142. فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ۝١٤٢

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

  143. فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ۝١٤٣

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

  144. لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

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

  145. فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ۝١٤٥

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

  146. وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ ۝١٤٦

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

  147. وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ۝١٤٧

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

  148. فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٤٨

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

  149. فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝١٤٩

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

  150. أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥٠

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

  151. أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

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

  152. وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

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

  153. أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ۝١٥٣

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

  154. مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

    37:154 What aileth you? How judge ye?

  155. أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

    37:155 Will ye not then reflect?

  156. أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥٦

    37:156 Or have ye a clear warrant?

  157. فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥٧

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

  158. 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).

  159. سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٥٩

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

  160. إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦٠

    37:160 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

  161. فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

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

  162. مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ ۝١٦٢

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

  163. إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦٣

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

  164. وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝١٦٤

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

  165. وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

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

  166. وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

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

  167. وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٦٧

    37:167 And indeed they used to say:

  168. لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٦٨

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

  169. لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦٩

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

  170. فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝١٧٠

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

  171. وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٧١

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

  172. إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝١٧٢

    37:172 That they verily would be helped,

  173. وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ۝١٧٣

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

  174. فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٧٤

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

  175. وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٧٥

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

  176. أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١٧٦

    37:176 Would they hasten on Our doom?

  177. 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.

  178. وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٧٨

    37:178 Withdraw from them awhile

  179. وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٧٩

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

  180. سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٨٠

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

  181. وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٨١

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

  182. وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝١٨٢

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