سُورَةُ الصَّافَّاتِ“Those drawn up in Ranks”182 Ayat

  1. 37:1By those [angels] lined up in rows
  2. 37:2And those who drive [the clouds]
  3. 37:3And those who recite the message,
  4. 37:4Indeed, your God is One,
  5. 37:5Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.
  6. 37:6Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
  7. 37:7And as protection against every rebellious devil
  8. 37:8[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
  9. 37:9Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,
  10. 37:10Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightnes…
  11. 37:11Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We hav…
  12. 37:12But you wonder, while they mock,
  13. 37:13And when they are reminded, they remember not.
  14. 37:14And when they see a sign, they ridicule
  15. 37:15And say, "This is not but obvious magic.
  16. 37:16When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
  17. 37:17And our forefathers [as well]?"
  18. 37:18Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."
  19. 37:19It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
  20. 37:20They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
  21. 37:21[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
  22. 37:22[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
  23. 37:23Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
  24. 37:24And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
  25. 37:25[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
  26. 37:26But they, that Day, are in surrender.
  27. 37:27And they will approach one another blaming each other.
  28. 37:28They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
  29. 37:29The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
  30. 37:30And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
  31. 37:31So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
  32. 37:32And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
  33. 37:33So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
  34. 37:34Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
  35. 37:35Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
  36. 37:36And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
  37. 37:37Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
  38. 37:38Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
  39. 37:39And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -
  40. 37:40But not the chosen servants of Allah.
  41. 37:41Those will have a provision determined -
  42. 37:42Fruits; and they will be honored
  43. 37:43In gardens of pleasure
  44. 37:44On thrones facing one another.
  45. 37:45There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,
  46. 37:46White and delicious to the drinkers;
  47. 37:47No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.
  48. 37:48And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,
  49. 37:49As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.
  50. 37:50And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
  51. 37:51A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
  52. 37:52Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
  53. 37:53That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"
  54. 37:54He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"
  55. 37:55And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.
  56. 37:56He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me.
  57. 37:57If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
  58. 37:58Then, are we not to die
  59. 37:59Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"
  60. 37:60Indeed, this is the great attainment.
  61. 37:61For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.
  62. 37:62Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?
  63. 37:63Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.
  64. 37:64Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,
  65. 37:65Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.
  66. 37:66And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.
  67. 37:67Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.
  68. 37:68Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.
  69. 37:69Indeed they found their fathers astray.
  70. 37:70So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
  71. 37:71And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
  72. 37:72And We had already sent among them warners.
  73. 37:73Then look how was the end of those who were warned -
  74. 37:74But not the chosen servants of Allah.
  75. 37:75And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.
  76. 37:76And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.
  77. 37:77And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
  78. 37:78And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
  79. 37:79"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."
  80. 37:80Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
  81. 37:81Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
  82. 37:82Then We drowned the disbelievers.
  83. 37:83And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,
  84. 37:84When he came to his Lord with a sound heart
  85. 37:85[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?
  86. 37:86Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?
  87. 37:87Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"
  88. 37:88And he cast a look at the stars
  89. 37:89And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."
  90. 37:90So they turned away from him, departing.
  91. 37:91Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?
  92. 37:92What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"
  93. 37:93And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.
  94. 37:94Then the people came toward him, hastening.
  95. 37:95He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,
  96. 37:96While Allah created you and that which you do?"
  97. 37:97They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."
  98. 37:98And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.
  99. 37:99And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.
  100. 37:100My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."
  101. 37:101So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
  102. 37:102And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I […
  103. 37:103And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
  104. 37:104We called to him, "O Abraham,
  105. 37:105You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
  106. 37:106Indeed, this was the clear trial.
  107. 37:107And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
  108. 37:108And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
  109. 37:109"Peace upon Abraham."
  110. 37:110Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
  111. 37:111Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
  112. 37:112And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
  113. 37:113And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himsel…
  114. 37:114And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
  115. 37:115And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
  116. 37:116And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
  117. 37:117And We gave them the explicit Scripture,
  118. 37:118And We guided them on the straight path.
  119. 37:119And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:
  120. 37:120"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."
  121. 37:121Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
  122. 37:122Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.
  123. 37:123And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,
  124. 37:124When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah?
  125. 37:125Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -
  126. 37:126Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
  127. 37:127And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
  128. 37:128Except the chosen servants of Allah.
  129. 37:129And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
  130. 37:130"Peace upon Elias."
  131. 37:131Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
  132. 37:132Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
  133. 37:133And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.
  134. 37:134[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,
  135. 37:135Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].
  136. 37:136Then We destroyed the others.
  137. 37:137And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
  138. 37:138And at night. Then will you not use reason?
  139. 37:139And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.
  140. 37:140[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
  141. 37:141And he drew lots and was among the losers.
  142. 37:142Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
  143. 37:143And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,
  144. 37:144He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
  145. 37:145But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
  146. 37:146And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.
  147. 37:147And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
  148. 37:148And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
  149. 37:149So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
  150. 37:150Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
  151. 37:151Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
  152. 37:152" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.
  153. 37:153Has He chosen daughters over sons?
  154. 37:154What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
  155. 37:155Then will you not be reminded?
  156. 37:156Or do you have a clear authority?
  157. 37:157Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
  158. 37:158And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made …
  159. 37:159Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
  160. 37:160Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
  161. 37:161So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
  162. 37:162You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
  163. 37:163Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
  164. 37:164[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
  165. 37:165And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
  166. 37:166And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."
  167. 37:167And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
  168. 37:168"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
  169. 37:169We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
  170. 37:170But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
  171. 37:171And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
  172. 37:172[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
  173. 37:173And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
  174. 37:174So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
  175. 37:175And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
  176. 37:176Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
  177. 37:177But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
  178. 37:178And leave them for a time.
  179. 37:179And see, for they are going to see.
  180. 37:180Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
  181. 37:181And peace upon the messengers.
  182. 37:182And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
