Sura 37: AS-SAAFFAT (THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS) - Juz' 23 - Translation Shakir

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
وَالصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا ﴿۱﴾
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks (1)
فَالزَّاجِرَاتِ زَجْرًا ﴿۲﴾
Then those who drive away with reproof, (2)
فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا ﴿۳﴾
Then those who recite, being mindful, (3)
إِنَّ إِلَهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ ﴿۴﴾
Most surely your Allah is One: (4)
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ ﴿۵﴾
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts (5)
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ ﴿۶﴾
Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars, (6)
وَحِفْظًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍ ﴿۷﴾
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan (7)
لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَى وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ ﴿۸﴾
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side, (8)
دُحُورًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ ﴿۹﴾
Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement, (9)
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ﴿۱۰﴾
Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame (10)
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنَا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ لَازِبٍ ﴿۱۱﴾
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay (11)
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ﴿۱۲﴾
Nay! you wonder while they mock, (12)
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ﴿۱۳﴾
And when they are reminded, they mind not, (13)
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ﴿۱۴﴾
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff, (14)
وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۵﴾
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic: (15)
أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿۱۶﴾
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised, (16)
أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿۱۷﴾
Or our fathers of yore? (17)
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُونَ ﴿۱۸﴾
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject (18)
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ ﴿۱۹﴾
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see (19)
وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هَذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ ﴿۲۰﴾
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital (20)
هَذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿۲۱﴾
This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie (21)
احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۲۲﴾
Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship (22)
مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۲۳﴾
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell (23)
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ ﴿۲۴﴾
And stop them, for they shall be questioned: (24)
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ﴿۲۵﴾
What is the matter with you that you do not help each other? (25)
بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
Nay! on that day they shall be submissive (26)
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other (27)
قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ ﴿۲۸﴾
They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side (28)
قَالُوا بَلْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers; (29)
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ ﴿۳۰﴾
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people; (30)
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا لَذَائِقُونَ ﴿۳۱﴾
So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste; (31)
فَأَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَاوِينَ ﴿۳۲﴾
So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring (32)
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ﴿۳۳﴾
So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another (33)
إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۳۴﴾
Surely thus do We deal with the guilty (34)
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿۳۵﴾
Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah; (35)
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُو آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَجْنُونٍ ﴿۳۶﴾
And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet? (36)
بَلْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۳۷﴾
Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the messengers (37)
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ ﴿۳۸﴾
Most surely you will taste the painful punishment (38)
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did (39)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۴۰﴾
Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones (40)
أُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَعْلُومٌ ﴿۴۱﴾
For them is a known sustenance, (41)
فَوَاكِهُ وَهُمْ مُكْرَمُونَ ﴿۴۲﴾
Fruits, and they shall be highly honored, (42)
فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ ﴿۴۳﴾
In gardens of pleasure, (43)
عَلَى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ ﴿۴۴﴾
On thrones, facing each other (44)
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ ﴿۴۵﴾
A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs, (45)
بَيْضَاءَ لَذَّةٍ لِلشَّارِبِينَ ﴿۴۶﴾
White, delicious to those who drink (46)
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنْزَفُونَ ﴿۴۷﴾
There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith (47)
وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ ﴿۴۸﴾
And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes; (48)
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ ﴿۴۹﴾
As if they were eggs carefully protected (49)
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۵۰﴾
Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other (50)
قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٌ ﴿۵۱﴾
A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine, (51)
يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ ﴿۵۲﴾
Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)? (52)
أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ﴿۵۳﴾
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment? (53)
قَالَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطَّلِعُونَ ﴿۵۴﴾
He shall say: Will you look on? (54)
فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَآهُ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۵۵﴾
Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell (55)
قَالَ تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كِدْتَ لَتُرْدِينِ ﴿۵۶﴾
He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish; (56)
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ ﴿۵۷﴾
And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up (57)
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ﴿۵۸﴾
Is it then that we are not going to die, (58)
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَى وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿۵۹﴾
Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised? (59)
إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿۶۰﴾
Most surely this is the mighty achievement (60)
لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ ﴿۶۱﴾
For the like of this then let the workers work (61)
أَذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ ﴿۶۲﴾
Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum? (62)
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ ﴿۶۳﴾
Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust (63)
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۶۴﴾
Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell; (64)
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ ﴿۶۵﴾
Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents (65)
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَآكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ ﴿۶۶﴾
Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it (66)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِنْ حَمِيمٍ ﴿۶۷﴾
Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water (67)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۶۸﴾
Then most surely their return shall be to hell (68)
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ ﴿۶۹﴾
Surely they found their fathers going astray, (69)
فَهُمْ عَلَى آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ﴿۷۰﴾
So in their footsteps they are being hastened on (70)
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۷۱﴾
And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them, (71)
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ ﴿۷۲﴾
And certainly We sent among them warners (72)
فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ ﴿۷۳﴾
Then see how was the end of those warned, (73)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۷۴﴾
Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones (74)
وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ ﴿۷۵﴾
And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We (75)
وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۷۶﴾
And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress (76)
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ ﴿۷۷﴾
And We made his offspring the survivors (77)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ ﴿۷۸﴾
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations (78)
سَلَامٌ عَلَى نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۷۹﴾
Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations (79)
إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿۸۰﴾
Thus do We surely reward the doers of good (80)
إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۸۱﴾
Surely he was of Our believing servants (81)
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ ﴿۸۲﴾
Then We drowned the others (82)
وَإِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ ﴿۸۳﴾
And most surely Ibrahim followed his way (83)
إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ﴿۸۴﴾
When he came to his Lord with a free heart, (84)
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۸۵﴾
When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship? (85)
أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ﴿۸۶﴾
A lie-- gods besides Allah-- do you desire? (86)
فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۸۷﴾
What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds? (87)
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ ﴿۸۸﴾
Then he looked at the stars, looking up once, (88)
فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ ﴿۸۹﴾
Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these) (89)
فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿۹۰﴾
So they went away from him, turning back (90)
فَرَاغَ إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿۹۱﴾
Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat? (91)
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُونَ ﴿۹۲﴾
What is the matter with you that you do not speak? (92)
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ ﴿۹۳﴾
Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand (93)
فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ﴿۹۴﴾
So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening (94)
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ﴿۹۵﴾
Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out? (95)
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿۹۶﴾
And Allah has created you and what you make (96)
قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۹۷﴾
They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire (97)
فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ ﴿۹۸﴾
And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low (98)
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿۹۹﴾
And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me (99)
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿۱۰۰﴾
My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds (100)
فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ ﴿۱۰۱﴾
So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance (101)
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَى قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴿۱۰۲﴾
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones (102)
فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ ﴿۱۰۳﴾
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead, (103)
وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَنْ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﴿۱۰۴﴾
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim! (104)
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿۱۰۵﴾
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good: (105)
إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿۱۰۶﴾
Most surely this is a manifest trial (106)
وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿۱۰۷﴾
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice (107)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ ﴿۱۰۸﴾
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations (108)
سَلَامٌ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﴿۱۰۹﴾
Peace be on Ibrahim (109)
كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿۱۱۰﴾
Thus do We reward the doers of good (110)
إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۱۱﴾
Surely he was one of Our believing servants (111)
وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿۱۱۲﴾
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones (112)
وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى إِسْحَاقَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۱۳﴾
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls (113)
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ ﴿۱۱۴﴾
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun (114)
وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۱۱۵﴾
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress (115)
وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ ﴿۱۱۶﴾
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers (116)
وَآتَيْنَاهُمَا الْكِتَابَ الْمُسْتَبِينَ ﴿۱۱۷﴾
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear (117)
وَهَدَيْنَاهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿۱۱۸﴾
And We guided them both on the right way (118)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الْآخِرِينَ ﴿۱۱۹﴾
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations (119)
سَلَامٌ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ ﴿۱۲۰﴾
Peace be on Musa and Haroun (120)
إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿۱۲۱﴾
Even thus do We reward the doers of good (121)
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۲۲﴾
Surely they were both of Our believing servants (122)
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۲۳﴾
And Ilyas was most surely of the messengers (123)
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۱۲۴﴾
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)? (124)
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ ﴿۱۲۵﴾
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators, (125)
اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۲۶﴾
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore? (126)
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿۱۲۷﴾
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up (127)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۱۲۸﴾
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones (128)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ ﴿۱۲۹﴾
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations (129)
سَلَامٌ عَلَى إِلْ يَاسِينَ ﴿۱۳۰﴾
Peace be on Ilyas (130)
إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿۱۳۱﴾
Even thus do We reward the doers of good (131)
إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۱۳۲﴾
Surely he was one of Our believing servants (132)
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۳۳﴾
And Lut was most surely of the messengers (133)
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿۱۳۴﴾
When We delivered him and his followers, all-- (134)
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ﴿۱۳۵﴾
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried (135)
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ ﴿۱۳۶﴾
Then We destroyed the others (136)
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِحِينَ ﴿۱۳۷﴾
And most surely you pass by them in the morning, (137)
وَبِاللَّيْلِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿۱۳۸﴾
And at night; do you not then understand? (138)
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۳۹﴾
And Yunus was most surely of the messengers (139)
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ ﴿۱۴۰﴾
When he ran away to a ship completely laden, (140)
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿۱۴۱﴾
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off (141)
فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ﴿۱۴۲﴾
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself (142)
فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ ﴿۱۴۳﴾
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us), (143)
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿۱۴۴﴾
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised (144)
فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ﴿۱۴۵﴾
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick (145)
وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ ﴿۱۴۶﴾
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant (146)
وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ﴿۱۴۷﴾
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded (147)
فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ ﴿۱۴۸﴾
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time (148)
فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ ﴿۱۴۹﴾
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons (149)
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ ﴿۱۵۰﴾
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses? (150)
أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ مِنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿۱۵۱﴾
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say: (151)
وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ ﴿۱۵۲﴾
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars (152)
أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ ﴿۱۵۳﴾
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons? (153)
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿۱۵۴﴾
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge? (154)
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿۱۵۵﴾
Will you not then mind? (155)
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۵۶﴾
Or have you a clear authority? (156)
فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿۱۵۷﴾
Then bring your book, if you are truthful (157)
وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿۱۵۸﴾
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up; (158)
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿۱۵۹﴾
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe; (159)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۱۶۰﴾
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones (160)
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۱۶۱﴾
So surely you and what you worship, (161)
مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ ﴿۱۶۲﴾
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial, (162)
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۱۶۳﴾
Save him who will go to hell (163)
وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ ﴿۱۶۴﴾
And there is none of us but has an assigned place, (164)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ ﴿۱۶۵﴾
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks, (165)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿۱۶۶﴾
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah) (166)
وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿۱۶۷﴾
And surely they used to say: (167)
لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۶۸﴾
Had we a reminder from those of yore, (168)
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۱۶۹﴾
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- the purified ones (169)
فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۱۷۰﴾
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know (170)
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۷۱﴾
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the messengers: (171)
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُورُونَ ﴿۱۷۲﴾
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones (172)
وَإِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ ﴿۱۷۳﴾
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones (173)
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ ﴿۱۷۴﴾
Therefore turn away from them till a time, (174)
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿۱۷۵﴾
And (then) see them, so they too shall see (175)
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿۱۷۶﴾
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement? (176)
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ ﴿۱۷۷﴾
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones (177)
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ ﴿۱۷۸﴾
And turn away from them till a time (178)
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿۱۷۹﴾
And (then) see, for they too shall see (179)
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿۱۸۰﴾
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe (180)
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿۱۸۱﴾
And peace be on the messengers (181)
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۱۸۲﴾
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds (182)
