As-Saaffaat

Translation

By those [angels] lined up in rows

Translation

And those who drive [the clouds]

Translation

And those who recite the message,

Translation

Indeed, your God is One,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And as protection against every rebellious devil

Translation

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

Translation

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

Translation

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

Translation

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.

Translation

But you wonder, while they mock,

Translation

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

Translation

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

Translation

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

Translation

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

Translation

And our forefathers [as well]?"

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

Translation

And they will approach one another blaming each other.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Translation

Those will have a provision determined -

Translation

Fruits; and they will be honored

Translation

In gardens of pleasure

Translation

On thrones facing one another.

Translation

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

Translation

White and delicious to the drinkers;

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then, are we not to die

Translation

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

Translation

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

Translation

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

Translation

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

Translation

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

Translation

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

Translation

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

Translation

And We had already sent among them warners.

Translation

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

Translation

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

Translation

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Translation

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

Translation

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

Translation

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

Translation

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And he cast a look at the stars

Translation

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

Translation

So they turned away from him, departing.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

Translation

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

Translation

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

Translation

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."

Translation

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

Translation

We called to him, "O Abraham,

Translation

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

Translation

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

Translation

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

Translation

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

Translation

"Peace upon Abraham."

Translation

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Translation

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

Translation

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

Translation

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

Translation

And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

Translation

And We guided them on the straight path.

Translation

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

Translation

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

Translation

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Translation

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

Translation

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Except the chosen servants of Allah.

Translation

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

Translation

"Peace upon Elias."

Translation

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Translation

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

Translation

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then We destroyed the others.

Translation

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

Translation

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

Translation

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

Translation

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

Translation

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

Translation

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

Translation

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

Translation

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

Translation

Then will you not be reminded?

Translation

Or do you have a clear authority?

Translation

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

Translation

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].

Translation

Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

Translation

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

Translation

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

Translation

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

Translation

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

Translation

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

Translation

And leave them for a time.

Translation

And see, for they are going to see.

Translation

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

Translation

And peace upon the messengers.

Translation

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
