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 By those [angels] lined up in rows

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

2 Faalzzajirati zajran

2 And those who drive [the clouds]

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

3 Faalttaliyati thikran

3 And those who recite the message,

4 Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

4 Inna ilahakum lawahidun

4 Indeed, your God 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 Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

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

6 Inna zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bizeenatin alkawakibi

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

7 With security from every froward devil.

7 Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin

7 And as protection against every rebellious devil

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 [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

9 Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

9 Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun

9 Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

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

10 Illa man khatifa alkhatfata faatbaAAahu shihabun thaqibun

10 Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

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 inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

12 Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

12 Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona

12 But 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 remember not.

14 And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

14 Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona

14 And when they see a sign, they ridicule

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

15 Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

15 And say, "This is not but obvious 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 When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

17 And our forefathers ?

17 Awaabaona alawwaloona

17 And our forefathers [as well]?"

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

18 Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona

18 Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

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

19 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona

19 It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

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

20 Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni

20 They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

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

21 Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

21 [They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

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 [The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, 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 Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

24 And stop them, for they must be questioned.

24 Waqifoohum innahum masooloona

24 And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

25 What aileth you that ye help not one another ?

25 Ma lakum la tanasaroona

25 [They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

26 Nay, but this day they make full submission.

26 Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoona

26 But they, that Day, are in surrender.

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

27 Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

27 And they will approach one another blaming 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 will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

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

29 Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mumineena

29 The oppressors will say, "Rather, 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 over you no authority, but you were a transgressing 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 word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

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

32 Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena

32 And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

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

33 Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona

33 So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

34 Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

34 Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

34 Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

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 Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

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

36 Wayaqooloona ainna latarikoo alihatina lishaAAirin majnoonin

36 And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

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

37 Bal jaa bialhaqqi wasaddaqa almursaleena

37 Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

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

38 Innakum lathaiqoo alAAathabi alaleemi

38 Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

39 Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

39 Wama tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona

39 And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

40 Save single - minded slaves of Allah;

40 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

40 But not the chosen servants of Allah.

41 For them there is a known provision,

41 Olaika lahum rizqun maAAloomun

41 Those will have a provision determined -

42 Fruits. And they will be honoured

42 Fawakihu wahum mukramoona

42 Fruits; and they will be honored

43 In the Gardens of delight,

43 Fee jannati alnnaAAeemi

43 In gardens of pleasure

44 On couches facing one another;

44 AAala sururin mutaqabileena

44 On thrones facing one another.

45 A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

45 Yutafu AAalayhim bikasin min maAAeenin

45 There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

46 White, delicious to the drinkers,

46 Baydaa laththatin lilshsharibeena

46 White and delicious to the drinkers;

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

47 La feeha ghawlun wala hum AAanha yunzafoona

47 No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

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

48 WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi AAeenun

48 And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

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

49 Kaannahunna baydun maknoonun

49 As if they were [delicate] eggs, well - protected.

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

50 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

50 And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

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

51 Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun

51 A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

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

52 Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena

52 Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

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 That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

54 He saith: Will ye look ?

54 Qala hal antum muttaliAAoona

54 He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

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

55 FaittalaAAa faraahu fee sawai aljaheemi

55 And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

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

56 Qala taAllahi in kidta laturdeeni

56 He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me.

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 If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

58 Are we then not to die

58 Afama nahnu bimayyiteena

58 Then, are we not to die

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

59 Illa mawtatana aloola wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena

59 Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

60 Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

60 Inna hatha lahuwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

60 Indeed, this is the great attainment.

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

61 Limithli hatha falyaAAmali alAAamiloona

61 For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

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

62 Athalika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu alzzaqqoomi

62 Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

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

63 Inna jaAAalnaha fitnatan lilththalimeena

63 Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

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

64 Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemi

64 Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

65 Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

65 TalAAuha kaannahu ruoosu alshshayateeni

65 Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

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

66 Fainnahum laakiloona minha famalioona minha albutoona

66 And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

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

67 Thumma inna lahum AAalayha lashawban min hameemin

67 Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

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

68 Thumma inna marjiAAahum laila aljaheemi

68 Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

69 They indeed found their fathers astray,

69 Innahum alfaw abaahum dalleena

69 Indeed they found their fathers astray.

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

70 Fahum AAala atharihim yuhraAAoona

70 So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

71 And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,

71 Walaqad dalla qablahum aktharu alawwaleena

71 And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

72 And verily We sent among them warners.

72 Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena

72 And We had already sent among them warners.

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

73 Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almunthareena

73 Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

74 Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

74 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

74 But not the chosen servants of Allah.

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

75 Walaqad nadana noohun falaniAAma almujeeboona

75 And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

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

76 Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi

76 And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

77 And made his seed the survivors,

77 WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena

77 And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

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

78 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

78 And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

79 Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

79 Salamun AAala noohin fee alAAalameena

80 Lo! thus do We reward the good.

81 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

82 Then We did drown the others.

82 Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

82 Then We drowned the disbelievers.

83 And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

83 Wainna min sheeAAatihi laibraheema

83 And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

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 sound 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 [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do 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 Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

88 And he glanced a glance at the stars

88 Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi

88 And he cast a look at the stars

89 Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

89 Faqala innee saqeemun

89 And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

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

90 Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena

90 So they turned away from him, departing.

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

91 Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala takuloona

91 Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

92 What aileth you that ye speak not ?

92 Ma lakum la tantiqoona

92 What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

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

93 Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni

93 And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

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

94 Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona

94 Then the people came toward him, hastening.

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

95 Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona

95 He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

96 When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?

96 WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona

96 While Allah created you and that which you do?"

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, "Construct for him a furnace and throw 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 intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

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

99 Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni

99 And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

100 My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

100 Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena

100 My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

101 So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

101 Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin

101 So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

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 reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."

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

103 Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni

103 And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

104 We called unto him: O Abraham!

104 Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu

104 We called to him, "O Abraham,

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

105 Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

106 Lo! that verily was a clear test.

106 Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu

106 Indeed, this was the clear trial.

107 Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

107 Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin

107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

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

108 Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

108 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

109 Peace be unto Abraham!

110 Kathalika najzee almuhsineena

112 Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena

112 And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

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 blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.

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

118 And We guided them on the straight path.

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

119 Watarakna AAalayhima fee alakhireena

119 And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

120 Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

120 Salamun AAala moosa waharoona

121 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

122 Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

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

123 Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena

123 And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

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

124 Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona

126 Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ?

126 Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena

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

127 Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona

127 And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

128 Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

128 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

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

130 Peace be unto Elias!

136 Then We destroyed the others.

136 Thumma dammarna alakhareena

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

137 Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena

140 When he fled unto the laden ship,

140 Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni

141 And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

141 Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena

141 And he drew lots and was among the losers.

142 And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

142 Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun

142 Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

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

143 Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena

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

146 And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

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

147 Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona

147 And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

148 And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

148 Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin

148 And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

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

149 Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona

149 So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

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

150 Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona

150 Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

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

151 Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona

151 Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

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

152 Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona

152 " Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

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

153 Astafa albanati AAala albaneena

153 Has He chosen daughters over sons?

154 What aileth you ? How judge ye ?

154 Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

154 What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

155 Will ye not then reflect ?

155 Afala tathakkaroona

155 Then will you not be reminded?

156 Or have ye a clear warrant ?

156 Am lakum sultanun mubeenun

156 Or do you have a clear authority?

157 Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

157 Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena

157 Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

158 And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).

158 WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona

158 And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment].

159 Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),

159 Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

159 Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

160 Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

160 Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

160 Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].

161 Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,

161 Fainnakum wama taAAbudoona

161 So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

162 Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

162 Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineena

163 Save him who is to burn in hell.

163 Illa man huwa sali aljaheemi

164 There is not one of us but hath his known position.

164 Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun

164 [The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

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

165 Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona

165 And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

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

166 Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona

166 And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

167 And indeed they used to say:

167 Wain kanoo layaqooloona

167 And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

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

168 Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena

168 "If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

169 We would be single - minded slaves of Allah.

169 Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

169 We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

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

170 Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona

170 But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

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

171 Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena

171 And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

173 And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

173 Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona

173 And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

174 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,

174 Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin

174 So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.

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

175 Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona

175 And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

176 Would they hasten on Our doom ?

176 AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

176 Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

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 descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

178 Withdraw from them awhile

178 Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin

178 And leave them for a time.

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

179 Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona

179 And see, for they are going to see.

182 And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!

182 Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

182 And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
