As-Saffat

وَٱلصَّـٰۤفَّـٰتِ صَفࣰّا

By those who set the ranks in battle order

فَٱلزَّ ٰجِرَ ٰتِ زَجۡرࣰا

And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

فَٱلتَّـٰلِیَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

And those who read (the Word) for a reminder

إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمۡ لَوَ ٰحِدࣱ

Lo! thy Lord is surely One

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَـٰرِقِ

Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings

إِنَّا زَیَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَاۤءَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا بِزِینَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ

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

وَحِفۡظࣰا مِّن كُلِّ شَیۡطَـٰنࣲ مَّارِدࣲ

With security from every froward devil

لَّا یَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَیُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبࣲ

They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side

دُحُورࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ وَاصِبٌ

Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابࣱ ثَاقِبࣱ

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

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَاۤۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُم مِّن طِینࣲ لَّازِبِۭ

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

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَیَسۡخَرُونَ

Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا یَذۡكُرُونَ

And heed not when they are reminded

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

And seek to scoff when they behold a portent

وَقَالُوۤا۟ إِنۡ هَـٰذَاۤ إِلَّا سِحۡرࣱ مُّبِینٌ

And they say: Lo! this is mere magic

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)

أَوَ ءَابَاۤؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَ ٰخِرُونَ

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

فَإِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجۡرَةࣱ وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ فَإِذَا هُمۡ یَنظُرُونَ

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold

وَقَالُوا۟ یَـٰوَیۡلَنَا هَـٰذَا یَوۡمُ ٱلدِّینِ

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

هَـٰذَا یَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِی كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

۞ ٱحۡشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزۡوَ ٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡبُدُونَ

(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَ ٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡءُولُونَ

And stop them, for they must be questioned

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

What aileth you that ye help not one another

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ

Nay, but this day they make full submission

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ یَتَسَاۤءَلُونَ

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning

قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ

They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth)

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤۡمِنِینَ

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

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَیۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَـٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمࣰا طَـٰغِینَ

We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk

فَحَقَّ عَلَیۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَاۤۖ إِنَّا لَذَاۤئِقُونَ

Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom)

فَأَغۡوَیۡنَـٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِینَ

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

فَإِنَّهُمۡ یَوۡمَئِذࣲ فِی ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

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

إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ

Lo! thus deal We with the guilty

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۤا۟ إِذَا قِیلَ لَهُمۡ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ یَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

وَیَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوۤا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرࣲ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

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

بَلۡ جَاۤءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

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

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَاۤئِقُوا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِیمِ

Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

Ye are requited naught save what ye did

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ

Save single-minded slaves of Allah

أُو۟لَـٰۤئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقࣱ مَّعۡلُومࣱ

For them there is a known provision

فَوَ ٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

Fruits. And they will be honoured

فِی جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ

In the Gardens of delight

عَلَىٰ سُرُرࣲ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِینَ

On couches facing one another

یُطَافُ عَلَیۡهِم بِكَأۡسࣲ مِّن مَّعِینِۭ

A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them

بَیۡضَاۤءَ لَذَّةࣲ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِینَ

White, delicious to the drinkers

لَا فِیهَا غَوۡلࣱ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا یُنزَفُونَ

Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَـٰصِرَ ٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِینࣱ

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

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَیۡضࣱ مَّكۡنُونࣱ

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

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ یَتَسَاۤءَلُونَ

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning

قَالَ قَاۤئِلࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّی كَانَ لِی قَرِینࣱ

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

یَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِینَ

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

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِینُونَ

Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He saith: Will ye look

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِی سَوَاۤءِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِینِ

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

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّی لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِینَ

And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom)

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَیِّتِینَ

Are we then not to die

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِینَ

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِیمُ

Lo! this is the supreme triumph

لِمِثۡلِ هَـٰذَا فَلۡیَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَـٰمِلُونَ

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

أَذَ ٰلِكَ خَیۡرࣱ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

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

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَـٰهَا فِتۡنَةࣰ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِینَ

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

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةࣱ تَخۡرُجُ فِیۤ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

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

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّیَـٰطِینِ

Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِءُونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَیۡهَا لَشَوۡبࣰا مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡا۟ ءَابَاۤءَهُمۡ ضَاۤلِّینَ

They indeed found their fathers astray

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰۤ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمۡ یُهۡرَعُونَ

But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

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

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِیهِم مُّنذِرِینَ

And verily We sent among them warners

فَٱنظُرۡ كَیۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ

Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ

Save single-minded slaves of Allah

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحࣱ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِیبُونَ

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

وَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

And We saved him and his household from the great distress

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّیَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِینَ

And made his seed the survivors

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ

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

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحࣲ فِی ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

Peace be unto Noah among the peoples

إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ

Lo! thus do We reward the good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ

Then We did drown the others

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِیعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ

And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

إِذۡ جَاۤءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبࣲ سَلِیمٍ

When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِیهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةࣰ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِیدُونَ

Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةࣰ فِی ٱلنُّجُومِ

And he glanced a glance at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّی سَقِیمࣱ

Then said: Lo! I feel sick

فَتَوَلَّوۡا۟ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِینَ

And they turned their backs and went away from him

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

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

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

What aileth you that ye speak not

فَرَاغَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡیَمِینِ

Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand

فَأَقۡبَلُوۤا۟ إِلَیۡهِ یَزِفُّونَ

And (his people) came toward him, hastening

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

When Allah hath created you and what ye make

قَالُوا۟ ٱبۡنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنۡیَـٰنࣰا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِی ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَیۡدࣰا فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِینَ

And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost

وَقَالَ إِنِّی ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ

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

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِی مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ

My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous

فَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِیمࣲ

So We gave him tidings of a gentle son

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡیَ قَالَ یَـٰبُنَیَّ إِنِّیۤ أَرَىٰ فِی ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّیۤ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ یَـٰۤأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِیۤ إِن شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ

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

فَلَمَّاۤ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِینِ

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

وَنَـٰدَیۡنَـٰهُ أَن یَـٰۤإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمُ

We called unto him: O Abraham

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡیَاۤۚ إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰۤؤُا۟ ٱلۡمُبِینُ

Lo! that verily was a clear test

وَفَدَیۡنَـٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِیمࣲ

Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ

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

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰۤ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ

Peace be unto Abraham

كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ

Thus do We reward the good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves

وَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِإِسۡحَـٰقَ نَبِیࣰّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ

And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous

وَبَـٰرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ وَعَلَىٰۤ إِسۡحَـٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنࣱ وَظَالِمࣱ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِینࣱ

And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّیۡنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

And saved them and their people from the great distress

وَنَصَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِینَ

And helped them so that they became the victors

وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِینَ

And We gave them the clear Scripture

وَهَدَیۡنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَ ٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِیمَ

And showed them the right path

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمَا فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ

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

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

Peace be unto Moses and Aaron

إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ

Lo! thus do We reward the good

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves

وَإِنَّ إِلۡیَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

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

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

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

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلࣰا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَـٰلِقِینَ

Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَاۤئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ

Save single-minded slaves of Allah

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ

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

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰۤ إِلۡ یَاسِینَ

Peace be unto Elias

إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ

Lo! thus do We reward the good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

Lo! he is one of our believing slaves

وَإِنَّ لُوطࣰا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn)

إِذۡ نَجَّیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ أَجۡمَعِینَ

When We saved him and his household, every one

إِلَّا عَجُوزࣰا فِی ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ

Then We destroyed the others

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَیۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِینَ

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

وَبِٱلَّیۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

And at night-time; have ye then no sense

وَإِنَّ یُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

When he fled unto the laden ship

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِینَ

And then drew lots and was of those rejected

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ

And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy

فَلَوۡلَاۤ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِینَ

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

لَلَبِثَ فِی بَطۡنِهِۦۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ

He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَاۤءِ وَهُوَ سَقِیمࣱ

Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ شَجَرَةࣰ مِّن یَقۡطِینࣲ

And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ یَزِیدُونَ

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

فَءَامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِینࣲ

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

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

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

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثࣰا وَهُمۡ شَـٰهِدُونَ

Or created We the angels females while they were present

أَلَاۤ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَیَقُولُونَ

Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِینَ

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

مَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

What aileth you? How judge ye

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Will ye not then reflect

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

Or have ye a clear warrant

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ

Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَیۡنَهُۥ وَبَیۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبࣰاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

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

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ

Save single-minded slaves of Allah

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship

مَاۤ أَنتُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ بِفَـٰتِنِینَ

Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

Save him who is to burn in hell

وَمَا مِنَّاۤ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامࣱ مَّعۡلُومࣱ

There is not one of us but hath his known position

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّاۤفُّونَ

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

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

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَیَقُولُونَ

And indeed they used to say

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

If we had but a reminder from the men of old

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ

We would be single-minded slaves of Allah

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ یَعۡلَمُونَ

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

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

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

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

That they verily would be helped

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ

And that Our host, they verily would be the victors

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ یُبۡصِرُونَ

And watch, for they will (soon) see

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Would they hasten on Our doom

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَاۤءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ

But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِینࣲ

Withdraw from them awhile

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ یُبۡصِرُونَ

And watch, for they will (soon) see

سُبۡحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ

Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ

And peace be unto those sent (to warn)

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds
