 |
| الرَّحِيمِ وَالصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا {١} |
1. I CALL TO witness those who stand arrayed in rows, |
| فَالزَّاجِرَاتِ زَجْرًا {٢} |
2. And those who restrain by reprimanding, |
| فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا {٣} |
3. And those who recite the Reminder, |
| إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ {٤} |
4. Verily your God is One, |
| رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ {٥} |
5. The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and the Lord of the Easts. |
| إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ {٦} |
6. He decked the nearest heavens with ornaments of stars, |
| وَحِفْظًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍ {٧} |
7. Protecting them against every wayward devil, |
| لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ {٨} |
8. So that they are not able to listen to the angels of higher (echelons), and are pelted from all sides |
| دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ {٩} |
9. And kept far away. There is perpetual punishment for them, |
| إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ {١٠} |
10. Except those who eavesdrop and are pursued by a shooting flame. |
| فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنَا ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ لَازِبٍ {١١} |
11. So ask them if they are more difficult to create, or the rest We have created? Indeed (man) We created from fermented clay. |
| بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ {١٢} |
12. Yet while you are filled with wonder, they just scoff; |
| وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ {١٣} |
13. And when they are warned they pay no heed. |
| وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ {١٤} |
14. When they see a sign, they laugh at it, |
| وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ {١٥} |
15. And say: "This is only magic. |
| أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ {١٦} |
16. When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, how can we be raised again, |
| أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ {١٧} |
17. And our fathers too?" |
| قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُونَ {١٨} |
18. You say: "Yes; and you will be lowly made." |
| فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ {١٩} |
19. There will only be a single jerk, and they will gape, |
| وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ {٢٠} |
20. And say: "Ah woe! This is the Day of Reckoning." |
| هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ {٢١} |
21. "(Yes,) this is the Day of Judgement you had called a lie." |
| احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ {٢٢} |
22. Gather all the wicked together and their comrades, and those they had worshipped |
| مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ {٢٣} |
23. Other than God," (the angels will be told), "then show them the way to Hell, |
| وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ {٢٤} |
24. And detain them, for they will be questioned." |
| مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ {٢٥} |
25. "What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?" |
| بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ {٢٦} |
26. They will submit to questioning then, |
| وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ {٢٧} |
27. And some of them will confront the others, |
| قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ {٢٨} |
28. Saying: "It were you who imposed yourselves upon us." |
| قَالُوا بَلْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ {٢٩} |
29. They will say: "No, you were the ones who would not believe. |
| وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۖ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ {٣٠} |
30. We had no power over you. In fact, you were a people rebellious. |
| فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَا ۖ إِنَّا لَذَائِقُونَ {٣١} |
31. The sentence of our Lord has come true for us. We have certainly to taste (the punishment), |
| فَأَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَاوِينَ {٣٢} |
32. For we had led you astray. In fact we ourselves were astray." |
| فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ {٣٣} |
33. So, they will become partners in punishment. |
| إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ {٣٤} |
34. That is how We deal with sinners. |
| إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ {٣٥} |
35. They were those who, when it was said to them, "There is no god but God," behaved with insolence, |
| وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُو آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَجْنُونٍ {٣٦} |
36. And said: "Should we abandon our gods for the sake of an insane poet?" |
| بَلْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ {٣٧} |
37. Not in the least. He has brought the truth and confirmed the other messengers. |
| إِنَّكُمْ لَذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ {٣٨} |
38. You will indeed taste a painful punishment, |
| وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ {٣٩} |
39. And be rewarded but only for what you had done, |
| إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ {٤٠} |
40. Except the chosen creatures of God, |
| أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَعْلُومٌ {٤١} |
41. Whose provision is predetermined -- |
| فَوَاكِهُ ۖ وَهُمْ مُكْرَمُونَ {٤٢} |
42. Fruits of every kind, and they will be honoured |
| فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ {٤٣} |
43. In gardens of delight, |
| عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ {٤٤} |
44. (Sitting) on couches, face to face, |
| يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ {٤٥} |
45. With cups from a flowing stream being passed around, |
| بَيْضَاءَ لَذَّةٍ لِلشَّارِبِينَ {٤٦} |
46. Clear, delicious to drink, |
| لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنْزَفُونَ {٤٧} |
47. Neither dulling the senses nor intoxicating, |
| وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ {٤٨} |
48. And with them maidens of modest look and large lustrous eyes, |
| كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ {٤٩} |
49. Like sheltered eggs in a nest. |
| فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ {٥٠} |
50. Then one turned to the other in an enquiry. |
| قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٌ {٥١} |
51. Said one of the speakers: "I had a friend |
| يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ {٥٢} |
52. Who used to say: ´Are you one of those who can testify to the truth? |
| أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ {٥٣} |
53. (Do you think) we would be paid back our due when we are dead and reduced to dust and bones?´ |
| قَالَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطَّلِعُونَ {٥٤} |
54. He said: ´Will you look down?´ |
| فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَآهُ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ {٥٥} |
55. He looked down and saw (his friend) in the midst of Hell. |
| قَالَ تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كِدْتَ لَتُرْدِينِ {٥٦} |
56. ´By God´, he said, ´you had almost ruined me. |
| وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ {٥٧} |
57. Had it not been for the grace of my Lord I too would have been there (in Hell). |
| أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ {٥٨} |
58. (Another will say:)"Is it true, we are not going to die |
| إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ {٥٩} |
59. Other than our first death, and we shall not be punished? |
| إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ {٦٠} |
60. This will indeed be great happiness. |
| لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ {٦١} |
61. For this the toilers should strive." |
| أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ {٦٢} |
62. Is this better or the tree of Zaqqum |
| إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ {٦٣} |
63. Which We have reserved as punishment for evil-doers? |
| إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ {٦٤} |
64. It is a tree that grows at the bottom of Hell. |
| طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ {٦٥} |
65. Its spathes are like the prickly pear. |
| فَإِنَّهُمْ لَآكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ {٦٦} |
66. They will eat and fill their bellies with it, |
| ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِنْ حَمِيمٍ {٦٧} |
67. Washing it down with boiling water. |
| ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ {٦٨} |
68. Then to Hell they will surely be returned. |
| إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ {٦٩} |
69. They had found their fathers astray, |
| فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ {٧٠} |
70. Yet they hasten to follow in their footsteps. |
| وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ {٧١} |
71. So had many an earlier people gone astray, |
| وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ {٧٢} |
72. And We had sent admonishers to them. |
| فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ {٧٣} |
73. Look, then how was the end of those who had been warned, |
| إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ {٧٤} |
74. Other than the chosen creatures of God. |
| وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ {٧٥} |
75. Noah had verily called to Us. And how gracious was He who answered (him). |
| وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ {٧٦} |
76. We saved him and his family from the great affliction, |
| وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ {٧٧} |
77. And made his progeny survive, |
| وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ {٧٨} |
78. And left (his name) for posterity. |
| سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ {٧٩} |
79. Peace on Noah among all men. |
| إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ {٨٠} |
80. That is how We reward those who do good. |
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ {٨١} |
81. Surely he was among Our faithful creatures. |
| ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ {٨٢} |
82. Afterwards We drowned the others. |
| وَإِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ {٨٣} |
83. And Abraham indeed was of his inducement, |
| إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ {٨٤} |
84. When he came to his Lord with a heart compliant, |
| إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ {٨٥} |
85. When he said to his father and his people: "What is this you worship? |
| أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ {٨٦} |
86. Why do you solicit false gods instead of God? |
| فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ {٨٧} |
87. What do you imagine the Lord of the worlds to be?" |
| فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ {٨٨} |
88. Then he looked up at the stars (they worshipped), |
| فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ {٨٩} |
89. And said: "I am sick (of what you worship)!" |
| فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ {٩٠} |
90. But they turned their backs on him and went away. |
| فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ {٩١} |
91. Then he turned towards their gods and said: "Why do you not eat (of these offerings)? |
| مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُونَ {٩٢} |
92. What is wrong with you that you do not speak?" |
| فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ {٩٣} |
93. Then he started striking them down with his right hand. |
| فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ {٩٤} |
94. So the people descended upon him. |
| قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ {٩٥} |
95. "Why do you worship these you carve yourselves," he asked, |
| وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ {٩٦} |
96. "When God has created you and what you make?" |
| قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ {٩٧} |
97. "Build a pyre for him and throw him into the raging fire." |
| فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ {٩٨} |
98. So they contrived a plot against him, but We made them abject. |
| وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ {٩٩} |
99. And he said: "I am going away to my Lord who will show me the way. |
| رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ {١٠٠} |
100. (And he prayed:) "O Lord, grant me a righteous son." |
| فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ {١٠١} |
101. So We gave him the good news of a clement son. |
| فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ {١٠٢} |
102. When he was old enough to go about with him, he said: "O my son, I dreamt that I was sacrificing you. Consider, what you think?" He replied: "Father, do as you are commanded. If God pleases you will find me firm." |
| فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ {١٠٣} |
103. When they submitted to the will of God, and (Abraham) laid (his son) down prostrate on his temple, |
| وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَنْ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ {١٠٤} |
104. We called out: "O Abraham, |
| قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ {١٠٥} |
105. You have fulfilled your dream." Thus do We reward the good. |
| إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ {١٠٦} |
106. That was indeed a trying test. |
| وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ {١٠٧} |
107. So We ransomed him for a great sacrifice, |
| وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ {١٠٨} |
108. And left (his hallowed memory) for posterity. |
| سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ {١٠٩} |
109. Peace be on Abraham. |
| كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ {١١٠} |
110. That is how We reward those who do good. |
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ {١١١} |
111. He is truly among Our faithful creatures. |
| وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ {١١٢} |
112. So We gave him the good news of Isaac, apostle, who is among the righteous. |
| وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ {١١٣} |
113. And We blessed him and Isaac. Among their descendants are some who do good, but some who wrong themselves. |
| وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ {١١٤} |
114. We were indeed gracious to Moses and Aaron, |
| وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ {١١٥} |
115. And saved them and their people from great distress, |
| وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ {١١٦} |
116. And helped them, so they were victorious. |
| وَآتَيْنَاهُمَا الْكِتَابَ الْمُسْتَبِينَ {١١٧} |
117. We gave them the explicit Book, |
| وَهَدَيْنَاهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ {١١٨} |
118. And showed them the straight path, |
| وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الْآخِرِينَ {١١٩} |
119. And left (their remembrance) for posterity. |
| سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ {١٢٠} |
120. Peace be on Moses and Aaron. |
| إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ {١٢١} |
121. That is how We reward those who do good. |
| إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ {١٢٢} |
122. They are among Our faithful devotees. |
| وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ {١٢٣} |
123. Verily Elias is one of the apostles. |
| إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ {١٢٤} |
124. When he said to his people: "Will you not be mindful of God? |
| أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ {١٢٥} |
125. Would you call on Baal and leave the best of creators, |
| اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ {١٢٦} |
126. God, your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers?" |
| فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ {١٢٧} |
127. They denied him, and will surely be brought to punishment, |
| إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ {١٢٨} |
128. Except the chosen creatures of God. |
| وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ {١٢٩} |
129. And We left his (memory) for posterity. |
| سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ {١٣٠} |
130. Peace be on Elias. |
| إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ {١٣١} |
131. That is how We reward those who do good. |
| إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ {١٣٢} |
132. He is truly among Our faithful devotees. |
| وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ {١٣٣} |
133. Verily Lot was one of the apostles, |
| إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ {١٣٤} |
134. Wherefore We saved him and his entire family |
| إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ {١٣٥} |
135. Except an old woman who was one of those who stayed behind. |
| ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ {١٣٦} |
136. Then We destroyed the others. |
| وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِحِينَ {١٣٧} |
137. You pass by (their habitations) in the morning |
| وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ {١٣٨} |
138. Or at night. Then how is it you do not understand? |
| وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ {١٣٩} |
139. Verily Jonah is one of the apostles. |
| إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ {١٤٠} |
140. When he fled on the laden ship, |
| فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ {١٤١} |
141. And lots were cast (when a storm overtook them), he was rejected, (and thrown overboard). |
| فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ {١٤٢} |
142. Then he was swallowed by a large fish as he was worthy of blame. |
| فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ {١٤٣} |
143. Had he not been one of those who struggled hard, |
| لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ {١٤٤} |
144. He would have stayed in its belly till the day the dead are raised. |
| فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ {١٤٥} |
145. So We cast him, sick, on a barren shore, |
| وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ {١٤٦} |
146. And We made a gourd tree grow over him. |
| وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ {١٤٧} |
147. We sent him to a hundred thousand men or more, |
| فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ {١٤٨} |
148. And they came to believe; so We allowed them to enjoy the good things of life for an age. |
| فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ {١٤٩} |
149. Now ask them if their Lord has daughters, and they sons? |
| أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ {١٥٠} |
150. Or did We make the angels females, and they witnessed it? |
| أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ مِنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ {١٥١} |
151. Is it not a lie invented by them when they say: |
| وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ {١٥٢} |
152. "God has begotten (children)?" They are liars indeed! |
| أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ {١٥٣} |
153. Does He prefer sons to daughters? |
| مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ {١٥٤} |
154. What ails you that you judge in such a wise? |
| أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ {١٥٥} |
155. Why do you not reflect? |
| أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ {١٥٦} |
156. Or have you received some clear authority? |
| فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ {١٥٧} |
157. Then bring your scripture, if what you say is true. |
| وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ {١٥٨} |
158. They link Him with jinns by lineage, yet the jinns know they will be brought before Him. |
| سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ {١٥٩} |
159. God is too glorious for what they ascribe to Him |
| إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ {١٦٠} |
160. Except His chosen creatures who do not. |
| فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ {١٦١} |
161. So neither you nor those you worship |
| مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ {١٦٢} |
162. Can mislead anyone away from Him, |
| إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ {١٦٣} |
163. Except one who is (destined) to burn in Hell. |
| وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ {١٦٤} |
164. "There is not one of us who does not have his appointed place," (declare the angels.) |
| وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ {١٦٥} |
165. "And we are truly those who stand in rows, |
| وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ {١٦٦} |
166. And we are those who sing hallelujas to Him." |
| وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ {١٦٧} |
167. They used to say: |
| لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ {١٦٨} |
168. If we had the account of earlier people with us, |
| لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ {١٦٩} |
169. We would have been the chosen creatures of God." |
| فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ {١٧٠} |
170. Yet now (that it has come) they refuse to believe in it; but they will come to know soon. |
| وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ {١٧١} |
171. Our word had already been given before to Our votaries, the apostles, -- |
| إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُورُونَ {١٧٢} |
172. That they would be helped, |
| وَإِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ {١٧٣} |
173. And that certainly Our armies will be victorious. |
| فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ {١٧٤} |
174. So you ignore them for a time |
| وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ {١٧٥} |
175. And wait; they will come to know soon. |
| أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ {١٧٦} |
176. Do they want to hasten Our punishment? |
| فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ {١٧٧} |
177. When it comes down on their plains, it will be an evil dawn for those who had been warned. |
| وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ {١٧٨} |
178. So turn away from them for a time |
| وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ {١٧٩} |
179. And watch; they will come to know soon. |
| سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ {١٨٠} |
180. Too glorious is your Lord, the Lord of power, for what they ascribe to Him. |
| وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ {١٨١} |
181. So peace be on the messengers, |
| وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ {١٨٢} |
182. And all praise to God, the Lord of all the worlds. |
