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

هَذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿۲۱﴾
This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny. (21)
احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۲۲﴾
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship (22)
مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ ﴿۲۳﴾
Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell; (23)
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ ﴿۲۴﴾
And stop them, for they must be questioned. (24)
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ﴿۲۵﴾
What aileth you that ye help not one another? (25)
بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
Nay, but this day they make full submission. (26)
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. (27)
قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ ﴿۲۸﴾
They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth). (28)
قَالُوا بَلْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers. (29)
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ ﴿۳۰﴾
We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk. (30)
