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

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)
