الصّافّات

1 Waalssaffati saffan

1 I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks

2 Faalzzajirati zajran

2 Then those who drive away with reproof,

3 Faalttaliyati thikran

3 Then those who recite, being mindful,

4 Inna ilahakum lawahidun

4 Most surely your Allah is One:

5 Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma warabbu almashariqi

5 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.

6 Inna zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bizeenatin alkawakibi

6 Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,

7 Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin

7 And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.

8 La yassammaAAoona ila almalai alaAAla wayuqthafoona min kulli janibin

8 They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,

9 Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun

9 Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,

10 Illa man khatifa alkhatfata faatbaAAahu shihabun thaqibun

10 Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.

11 Faistaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqna inna khalaqnahum min teenin lazibin

11 Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.

12 Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona

12 Nay! you wonder while they mock,

13 Waitha thukkiroo la yathkuroona

13 And when they are reminded, they mind not,

14 Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona

14 And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,

15 Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

15 And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:

16 Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

16 What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,

17 Awaabaona alawwaloona

17 Or our fathers of yore?

18 Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona

18 Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.

19 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona

19 So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.

20 Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni

20 And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.

21 Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

21 This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.

22 Ohshuroo allatheena thalamoo waazwajahum wama kanoo yaAAbudoona

22 Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship

23 Min dooni Allahi faihdoohum ila sirati aljaheemi

23 Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.

24 Waqifoohum innahum masooloona

24 And stop them, for they shall be questioned:

25 Ma lakum la tanasaroona

25 What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?

26 Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoona

26 Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.

27 Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

27 And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.

28 Qaloo innakum kuntum tatoonana AAani alyameeni

28 They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.

29 Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mumineena

29 They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;

30 Wama kana lana AAalaykum min sultanin bal kuntum qawman tagheena

30 And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;

31 Fahaqqa AAalayna qawlu rabbina inna lathaiqoona

31 So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;

32 Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena

32 So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.

33 Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona

33 So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.

34 Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

34 Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.

35 Innahum kanoo itha qeela lahum la ilaha illa Allahu yastakbiroona

35 Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;

36 Wayaqooloona ainna latarikoo alihatina lishaAAirin majnoonin

36 And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

37 Bal jaa bialhaqqi wasaddaqa almursaleena

37 Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.

38 Innakum lathaiqoo alAAathabi alaleemi

38 Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.

39 Wama tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona

39 And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.

40 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

40 Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

41 Olaika lahum rizqun maAAloomun

41 For them is a known sustenance,

42 Fawakihu wahum mukramoona

42 Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,

43 Fee jannati alnnaAAeemi

43 In gardens of pleasure,

44 AAala sururin mutaqabileena

44 On thrones, facing each other.

45 Yutafu AAalayhim bikasin min maAAeenin

45 A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,

46 Baydaa laththatin lilshsharibeena

46 White, delicious to those who drink.

47 La feeha ghawlun wala hum AAanha yunzafoona

47 There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.

48 WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi AAeenun

48 And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;

49 Kaannahunna baydun maknoonun

49 As if they were eggs carefully protected.

50 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

50 Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.

51 Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun

51 A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,

52 Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena

52 Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?

53 Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamadeenoona

53 What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?

54 Qala hal antum muttaliAAoona

54 He shall say: Will you look on?

55 FaittalaAAa faraahu fee sawai aljaheemi

55 Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.

56 Qala taAllahi in kidta laturdeeni

56 He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;

57 Walawla niAAmatu rabbee lakuntu mina almuhdareena

57 And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.

58 Afama nahnu bimayyiteena

58 Is it then that we are not going to die,

59 Illa mawtatana aloola wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena

59 Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?

60 Inna hatha lahuwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

60 Most surely this is the mighty achievement.

61 Limithli hatha falyaAAmali alAAamiloona

61 For the like of this then let the workers work.

62 Athalika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu alzzaqqoomi

62 Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?

63 Inna jaAAalnaha fitnatan lilththalimeena

63 Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.

64 Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemi

64 Surely it is a tree that - grows in the bottom of the hell;

65 TalAAuha kaannahu ruoosu alshshayateeni

65 Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.

66 Fainnahum laakiloona minha famalioona minha albutoona

66 Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.

67 Thumma inna lahum AAalayha lashawban min hameemin

67 Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.

68 Thumma inna marjiAAahum laila aljaheemi

68 Then most surely their return shall be to hell.

69 Innahum alfaw abaahum dalleena

69 Surely they found their fathers going astray,

70 Fahum AAala atharihim yuhraAAoona

70 So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.

71 Walaqad dalla qablahum aktharu alawwaleena

71 And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,

72 Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena

72 And certainly We sent among them warners.

73 Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almunthareena

73 Then see how was the end of those warned,

74 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

74 Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

75 Walaqad nadana noohun falaniAAma almujeeboona

75 And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.

76 Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

76 And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.

77 WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena

77 And We made his offspring the survivors.

78 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

78 And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.

79 Salamun AAala noohin fee alAAalameena

79 Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.

80 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

80 Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.

81 Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

81 Surely he was of Our believing servants.

82 Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

82 Then We drowned the others

83 Wainna min sheeAAatihi laibraheema

83 And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.

84 Ith jaa rabbahu biqalbin saleemin

84 When he came to his Lord with a free heart,

85 Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi matha taAAbudoona

85 When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship?

86 Aifkan alihatan doona Allahi tureedoona

86 A lie - - gods besides Allah - - do you desire?

87 Fama thannukum birabbi alAAalameena

87 What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?

88 Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi

88 Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,

89 Faqala innee saqeemun

89 Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).

90 Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena

90 So they went away from him, turning back.

91 Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala takuloona

91 Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?

92 Ma lakum la tantiqoona

92 What is the matter with you that you do not speak?

93 Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni

93 Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.

94 Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona

94 So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.

95 Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona

95 Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?

96 WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona

96 And Allah has created you and what you make.

97 Qaloo ibnoo lahu bunyanan faalqoohu fee aljaheemi

97 They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.

98 Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alasfaleena

98 And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.

99 Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni

99 And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.

100 Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena

100 My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.

101 Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin

101 So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.

102 Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tumaru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina alssabireena

102 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.

103 Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni

103 So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,

104 Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu

104 And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!

105 Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

105 You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:

106 Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu

106 Most surely this is a manifest trial.

107 Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin

107 And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.

108 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

108 And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.

109 Salamun AAala ibraheema

109 Peace be on Ibrahim.

110 Kathalika najzee almuhsineena

110 Thus do We reward the doers of good.

111 Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

111 Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

112 Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena

112 And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.

113 Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wathalimun linafsihi mubeenun

113 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.

114 Walaqad mananna AAala moosa waharoona

114 And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.

115 Wanajjaynahuma waqawmahuma mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

115 And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.

116 Wanasarnahum fakanoo humu alghalibeena

116 And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.

117 Waataynahuma alkitaba almustabeena

117 And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.

118 Wahadaynahuma alssirata almustaqeema

118 And We guided them both on the right way.

119 Watarakna AAalayhima fee alakhireena

119 And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.

120 Salamun AAala moosa waharoona

120 Peace be on Musa and Haroun.

121 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

121 Even thus do We reward the doers of good.

122 Innahuma min AAibadina almumineena

122 Surely they were both of Our believing servants.

123 Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena

123 And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.

124 Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona

124 When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?

125 AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena

125 What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,

126 Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena

126 Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?

127 Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona

127 But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.

128 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

128 But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

129 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

129 And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.

130 Salamun AAala il yaseena

130 Peace be on Ilyas.

131 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

131 Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
