আস্ সাফফাত (সফে দাঁড়ানো)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who set the ranks in battle order

1 Waalssaffati saffan

1 I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks

2 And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

2 Faalzzajirati zajran

2 Then those who drive away with reproof,

3 And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

3 Faalttaliyati thikran

3 Then those who recite, being mindful,

4 Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

4 Inna ilahakum lawahidun

4 Most surely your Allah is One:

5 Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.

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 Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

6 Inna zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bizeenatin alkawakibi

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

7 With security from every froward devil.

7 Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin

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

8 They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

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 Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

9 Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun

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

10 Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

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 Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created ? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.

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 Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

12 Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona

12 Nay! you wonder while they mock,

13 And heed not when they are reminded,

13 Waitha thukkiroo la yathkuroona

13 And when they are reminded, they mind not,

14 And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

14 Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona

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

15 And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

15 Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

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

16 When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again) ?

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 And our forefathers ?

17 Awaabaona alawwaloona

17 Or our fathers of yore?

18 Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

18 Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona

18 Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.

19 There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

19 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona

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

20 And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.

20 Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni

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

21 This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.

21 Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

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

22 (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship

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 Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;

23 Min dooni Allahi faihdoohum ila sirati aljaheemi

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

24 And stop them, for they must be questioned.

24 Waqifoohum innahum masooloona

24 And stop them, for they shall be questioned:

25 What aileth you that ye help not one another ?

25 Ma lakum la tanasaroona

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

26 Nay, but this day they make full submission.

26 Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoona

26 Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.

27 And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

27 Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

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

28 They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).

28 Qaloo innakum kuntum tatoonana AAani alyameeni

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

29 They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.

29 Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mumineena

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

30 We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.

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 Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).

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 Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

32 Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena

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

33 Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

33 Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona

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

34 Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

34 Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

34 Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.

35 For when it was said unto them, There is no God save Allah, they were scornful

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 And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet ?

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 Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

37 Bal jaa bialhaqqi wasaddaqa almursaleena

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

38 Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -

38 Innakum lathaiqoo alAAathabi alaleemi

38 Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.

39 Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

39 Wama tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona

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

40 Save single - minded slaves of Allah;

40 Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

41 For them there is a known provision,

41 Olaika lahum rizqun maAAloomun

41 For them is a known sustenance,

42 Fruits. And they will be honoured

42 Fawakihu wahum mukramoona

44 On couches facing one another;

45 Yutafu AAalayhim bikasin min maAAeenin

46 White, delicious to the drinkers,

46 Baydaa laththatin lilshsharibeena

47 Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

47 La feeha ghawlun wala hum AAanha yunzafoona

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

48 And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,

48 WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi AAeenun

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

49 (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

49 Kaannahunna baydun maknoonun

49 As if they were eggs carefully protected.

50 And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

50 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

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

51 A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade

51 Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun

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

52 Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words) ?

52 Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena

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

53 Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book ?

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 He saith: Will ye look ?

54 Qala hal antum muttaliAAoona

54 He shall say: Will you look on?

55 Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

55 FaittalaAAa faraahu fee sawai aljaheemi

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

56 He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,

56 Qala taAllahi in kidta laturdeeni

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

57 And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).

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 Are we then not to die

58 Afama nahnu bimayyiteena

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

59 Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished ?

59 Illa mawtatana aloola wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena

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

60 Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

60 Inna hatha lahuwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

60 Most surely this is the mighty achievement.

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

61 Limithli hatha falyaAAmali alAAamiloona

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

62 Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum ?

62 Athalika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu alzzaqqoomi

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

63 Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong - doers.

63 Inna jaAAalnaha fitnatan lilththalimeena

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

64 Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.

64 Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemi

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

65 Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

65 TalAAuha kaannahu ruoosu alshshayateeni

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

66 And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.

66 Fainnahum laakiloona minha famalioona minha albutoona

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

67 And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water

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 And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

68 Then most surely their return shall be to hell.

69 They indeed found their fathers astray,

69 Innahum alfaw abaahum dalleena

69 Surely they found their fathers going astray,

70 But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

70 Fahum AAala atharihim yuhraAAoona

71 Walaqad dalla qablahum aktharu alawwaleena

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

72 And verily We sent among them warners.

72 Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena

73 Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

73 Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almunthareena

73 Then see how was the end of those warned,

74 Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

74 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

74 Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

75 And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer

75 Walaqad nadana noohun falaniAAma almujeeboona

76 And We saved him and his household from the great distress,

76 Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

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

77 And made his seed the survivors,

77 WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena

78 And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

79 Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

82 Then We did drown the others.

82 Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

82 Then We drowned the others

83 And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

83 Wainna min sheeAAatihi laibraheema

83 And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.

84 When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

84 Ith jaa rabbahu biqalbin saleemin

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

85 When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ?

85 Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi matha taAAbudoona

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

86 Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ?

86 Aifkan alihatan doona Allahi tureedoona

87 What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ?

87 Fama thannukum birabbi alAAalameena

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

88 And he glanced a glance at the stars

88 Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi

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

89 Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

89 Faqala innee saqeemun

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

90 And they turned their backs and went away from him.

90 Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena

90 So they went away from him, turning back.

91 Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ?

91 Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala takuloona

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

92 What aileth you that ye speak not ?

92 Ma lakum la tantiqoona

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

93 Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

93 Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni

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

94 And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

94 Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona

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

95 He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

95 Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona

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

96 When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?

96 WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona

96 And Allah has created you and what you make.

97 They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red - hotfire.

97 Qaloo ibnoo lahu bunyanan faalqoohu fee aljaheemi

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

98 And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

98 Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alasfaleena

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

99 And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.

99 Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni

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

100 My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

100 Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena

101 So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

101 Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin

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

102 And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.

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 Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,

103 Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni

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

104 We called unto him: O Abraham!

104 Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu

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

105 Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.

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 Lo! that verily was a clear test.

106 Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu

106 Most surely this is a manifest trial.

107 Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

107 Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin

107 And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.

108 And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

111 Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

111 Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

112 And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

112 Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena

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

113 And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

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 And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

114 Walaqad mananna AAala moosa waharoona

115 Wanajjaynahuma waqawmahuma mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

116 And helped them so that they became the victors.

116 Wanasarnahum fakanoo humu alghalibeena

118 And showed them the right path.

118 Wahadaynahuma alssirata almustaqeema

119 And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):

120 Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

122 Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

122 Innahuma min AAibadina almumineena

122 Surely they were both of Our believing servants.

123 And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

123 Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena

123 And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.

124 When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

124 Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona

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

125 Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,

125 AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena

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

126 Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ?

126 Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena

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

127 But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)

127 Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona

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

128 Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

128 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

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

129 And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

129 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

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

130 Peace be unto Elias!

130 Salamun AAala il yaseena

132 Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

133 And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).

133 Wainna lootan lamina almursaleena

134 When We saved him and his household, every one,

134 Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

134 When We delivered him and his followers, all - -

135 Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;

135 Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena

135 Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.

136 Then We destroyed the others.

136 Thumma dammarna alakhareena

136 Then We destroyed the others.

137 And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning

137 Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena

137 And most surely you pass by them in the morning,

138 And at night - time; have ye then no sense ?

138 Wabiallayli afala taAAqiloona

138 And at night; do you not then understand?

139 And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)

139 Wainna yoonusa lamina almursaleena

139 And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.

140 When he fled unto the laden ship,

140 Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni

140 When he ran away to a ship completely laden,

141 And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

141 Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena

141 So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.

142 And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

142 Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun

142 So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself

143 And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

143 Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena

143 But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),

144 He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

144 Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona

144 He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.

145 Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

145 Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun

145 Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.

146 And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

146 Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin

146 And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.

147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more

147 Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona

149 Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons ?

149 Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona

149 Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.

150 Or created We the angels females while they were present ?

151 Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

151 Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona

152 Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

152 Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona

152 Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.

153 (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.

153 Astafa albanati AAala albaneena

154 What aileth you ? How judge ye ?

156 Or have ye a clear warrant ?

158 And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

164 And there is none of us but has an assigned place,

165 Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,

165 Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona

165 And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,

166 Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise

166 Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona

166 And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).

167 And indeed they used to say:

167 Wain kanoo layaqooloona

167 And surely they used to say:

168 If we had but a reminder from the men of old

168 Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena

168 Had we a reminder from those of yore,

169 We would be single - minded slaves of Allah.

169 Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

170 Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.

170 Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona

170 But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.

171 And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

171 Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena

174 Therefore turn away from them till a time,

175 And watch, for they will (soon) see.

175 Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona

175 And (then) see them, so they too shall see.

176 Would they hasten on Our doom ?

176 AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

176 What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?

177 But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.

177 Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena

177 But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.

178 Withdraw from them awhile

178 And turn away from them till a time

179 And watch, for they will (soon) see.

179 Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona
