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

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۱۶۱﴾
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship, (161)
مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ ﴿۱۶۲﴾
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him. (162)
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۱۶۳﴾
Save him who is to burn in hell. (163)
وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ ﴿۱۶۴﴾
There is not one of us but hath his known position. (164)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ ﴿۱۶۵﴾
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks, (165)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿۱۶۶﴾
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise (166)
وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿۱۶۷﴾
And indeed they used to say: (167)
لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۶۸﴾
If we had but a reminder from the men of old (168)
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۱۶۹﴾
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. (169)
فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۱۷۰﴾
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know. (170)
