Surat Aş-Şāffāt (Those who set the Ranks) - سورة الصافات

37:1

to top

37:1

Sahih International

By those [angels] lined up in rows

37:2

to top

37:2

Sahih International

And those who drive [the clouds]

37:3

to top

37:3

Sahih International

And those who recite the message,

37:4

to top

37:4

Sahih International

Indeed, your God is One,

37:5

to top

37:5

Sahih International

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

37:6

to top

37:6

Sahih International

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

37:7

to top

37:7

Sahih International

And as protection against every rebellious devil

37:8

to top

37:8

Sahih International

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

37:9

to top

37:9

Sahih International

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

37:10

to top

37:10

Sahih International

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

37:11

to top

37:11

Sahih International

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.

37:12

to top

37:12

Sahih International

But you wonder, while they mock,

37:13

to top

37:13

Sahih International

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

37:14

to top

37:14

Sahih International

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

37:15

to top

37:15

Sahih International

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

37:16

to top

37:16

Sahih International

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

37:17

to top

37:17

Sahih International

And our forefathers [as well]?"

37:18

to top

37:18

Sahih International

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

37:19

to top

37:19

Sahih International

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

37:20

to top

37:20

Sahih International

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

37:21

to top

37:21

Sahih International

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

37:22

to top

37:22

Sahih International

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

37:23

to top

37:23

Sahih International

Other than Allah , and guide them to the path of Hellfire

37:24

to top

37:24

Sahih International

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

37:25

to top

37:25

Sahih International

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

37:26

to top

37:26

Sahih International

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

37:27

to top

37:27

Sahih International

And they will approach one another blaming each other.

37:28

to top

37:28

Sahih International

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

37:29

to top

37:29

Sahih International

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

37:30

to top

37:30

Sahih International

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

37:31

to top

37:31

Sahih International

So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

37:32

to top

37:32

Sahih International

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

37:33

to top

37:33

Sahih International

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

37:34

to top

37:34

Sahih International

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

37:35

to top

37:35

Sahih International

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

37:36

to top

37:36

Sahih International

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

37:37

to top

37:37

Sahih International

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

37:38

to top

37:38

Sahih International

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

37:39

to top

37:39

Sahih International

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

37:40

to top

37:40

Sahih International

But not the chosen servants of Allah .

37:41

to top

37:41

Sahih International

Those will have a provision determined -

37:42

to top

37:42

Sahih International

Fruits; and they will be honored

37:43

to top

37:43

Sahih International

In gardens of pleasure

37:44

to top

37:44

Sahih International

On thrones facing one another.

37:45

to top

37:45

Sahih International

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

37:46

to top

37:46

Sahih International

White and delicious to the drinkers;

37:47

to top

37:47

Sahih International

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

37:48

to top

37:48

Sahih International

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

37:49

to top

37:49

Sahih International

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

37:50

to top

37:50

Sahih International

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

37:51

to top

37:51

Sahih International

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

37:52

to top

37:52

Sahih International

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

37:53

to top

37:53

Sahih International

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

37:54

to top

37:54

Sahih International

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

37:55

to top

37:55

Sahih International

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

37:56

to top

37:56

Sahih International

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

37:57

to top

37:57

Sahih International

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

37:58

to top

37:58

Sahih International

Then, are we not to die

37:59

to top

37:59

Sahih International

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

37:60

to top

37:60

Sahih International

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

37:61

to top

37:61

Sahih International

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

37:62

to top

37:62

Sahih International

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

37:63

to top

37:63

Sahih International

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

37:64

to top

37:64

Sahih International

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

37:65

to top

37:65

Sahih International

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

37:66

to top

37:66

Sahih International

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

37:67

to top

37:67

Sahih International

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

37:68

to top

37:68

Sahih International

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

37:69

to top

37:69

Sahih International

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

37:70

to top

37:70

Sahih International

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

37:71

to top

37:71

Sahih International

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

37:72

to top

37:72

Sahih International

And We had already sent among them warners.

37:73

to top

37:73

Sahih International

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

37:74

to top

37:74

Sahih International

But not the chosen servants of Allah .

37:75

to top

37:75

Sahih International

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

37:76

to top

37:76

Sahih International

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

37:77

to top

37:77

Sahih International

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

37:78

to top

37:78

Sahih International

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

37:79

to top

37:79

Sahih International

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

37:80

to top

37:80

Sahih International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:81

to top

37:81

Sahih International

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

37:82

to top

37:82

Sahih International

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

37:83

to top

37:83

Sahih International

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

37:84

to top

37:84

Sahih International

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

37:85

to top

37:85

Sahih International

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

37:86

to top

37:86

Sahih International

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?

37:87

to top

37:87

Sahih International

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

37:88

to top

37:88

Sahih International

And he cast a look at the stars

37:89

to top

37:89

Sahih International

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

37:90

to top

37:90

Sahih International

So they turned away from him, departing.

37:91

to top

37:91

Sahih International

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

37:92

to top

37:92

Sahih International

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

37:93

to top

37:93

Sahih International

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

37:94

to top

37:94

Sahih International

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

37:95

to top

37:95

Sahih International

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

37:96

to top

37:96

Sahih International

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

37:97

to top

37:97

Sahih International

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

37:98

to top

37:98

Sahih International

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

37:99

to top

37:99

Sahih International

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

37:100

to top

37:100

Sahih International

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

37:101

to top

37:101

Sahih International

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

37:102

to top

37:102

Sahih International

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."

37:103

to top

37:103

Sahih International

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

37:104

to top

37:104

Sahih International

We called to him, "O Abraham,

37:105

to top

37:105

Sahih International

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:106

to top

37:106

Sahih International

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

37:107

to top

37:107

Sahih International

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

37:108

to top

37:108

Sahih International

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

37:109

to top

37:109

Sahih International

"Peace upon Abraham."

37:110

to top

37:110

Sahih International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:111

to top

37:111

Sahih International

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

37:112

to top

37:112

Sahih International

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

37:113

to top

37:113

Sahih International

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

37:114

to top

37:114

Sahih International

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

37:115

to top

37:115

Sahih International

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

37:116

to top

37:116

Sahih International

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

37:117

to top

37:117

Sahih International

And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

37:118

to top

37:118

Sahih International

And We guided them on the straight path.

37:119

to top

37:119

Sahih International

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

37:120

to top

37:120

Sahih International

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

37:121

to top

37:121

Sahih International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:122

to top

37:122

Sahih International

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

37:123

to top

37:123

Sahih International

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

37:124

to top

37:124

Sahih International

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah ?

37:125

to top

37:125

Sahih International

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -

37:126

to top

37:126

Sahih International

Allah , your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

37:127

to top

37:127

Sahih International

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

37:128

to top

37:128

Sahih International

Except the chosen servants of Allah .

37:129

to top

37:129

Sahih International

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

37:130

to top

37:130

Sahih International

"Peace upon Elias."

37:131

to top

37:131

Sahih International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:132

to top

37:132

Sahih International

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

37:133

to top

37:133

Sahih International

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

37:134

to top

37:134

Sahih International

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

37:135

to top

37:135

Sahih International

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].

37:136

to top

37:136

Sahih International

Then We destroyed the others.

37:137

to top

37:137

Sahih International

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

37:138

to top

37:138

Sahih International

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

37:139

to top

37:139

Sahih International

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

37:140

to top

37:140

Sahih International

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

37:141

to top

37:141

Sahih International

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

37:142

to top

37:142

Sahih International

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

37:143

to top

37:143

Sahih International

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah ,

37:144

to top

37:144

Sahih International

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

37:145

to top

37:145

Sahih International

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

37:146

to top

37:146

Sahih International

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

37:147

to top

37:147

Sahih International

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

37:148

to top

37:148

Sahih International

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

37:149

to top

37:149

Sahih International

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

37:150

to top

37:150

Sahih International

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

37:151

to top

37:151

Sahih International

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

37:152

to top

37:152

Sahih International

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

37:153

to top

37:153

Sahih International

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

37:154

to top

37:154

Sahih International

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

37:155

to top

37:155

Sahih International

Then will you not be reminded?

37:156

to top

37:156

Sahih International

Or do you have a clear authority?

37:157

to top

37:157

Sahih International

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

37:158

to top

37:158

Sahih International

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].

37:159

to top

37:159
