As-Saaffaat — Those drawn up in Ranks

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا

Wassaaaffaati saffaa

By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا

Fazzaajiraati zajraa

And those who drive [the clouds]

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا

Fattaaliyaati Zikra

And those who recite the message,

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ

Inna Illaahakum la Waahid

Indeed, your God is One,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa Rabbul mashaariq

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

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ

Innaa zaiyannas samaaa 'ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib

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

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ

Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid

And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ

Laa yassamma 'oona ilal mala il a'alaa wa yuqzafoona min kulli jaanib

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

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ

Duhooranw wa lahum 'azaabunw waasib

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ

Illaa man khatifal khatfata fa atba'ahoo shihaabun saaqib

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

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ

Fastaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnaa; innaa khalaqnaahum min teenil laazib

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.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

Bal'ajibta wa yaskharoon

But you wonder, while they mock,

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

Wa izaa ra aw Aayatinw yastaskhiroon

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ

Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamab'oosoon

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

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

Awa aabaa'unal awwaloon

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

Qul na'am wa antum daakhiroon

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

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon

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

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Qa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen

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

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Haazaa Yawmul Faslil lazee kuntum bihee tukaziboon

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

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

Uhshurul lazeena zalamoo wa azwaajahum wa maa kaanoo ya'budoon

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

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem

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

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ

Wa qifoohum innahum mas'ooloon

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

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

Maa lakum laa tanaasaroon

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

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Wa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa ba'diny yatasaaa'aloon

And they will approach one another blaming each other.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa 'anil yameen

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

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu'mineen

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

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ

Wa maa kaana lanaa 'alaikum min sultaanim bal kuntum qawman taagheen

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

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

Fahaqqa 'alainaa qawlu Rabbinaaa innaa lazaaa'iqoon

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

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

Fa aghwainaakum innaa kunnaa ghaaween

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

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

Fa innahum Yawma'izin fil'azaabi mushtarikoon

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

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Innaa kazaalika naf'alu bil mujrimeen

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Innahum kaanooo izaa qeela lahum laaa ilaaha illal laahu yastakbiroon

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

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ

Wa yaqooloona a'innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa'irim majnoon

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

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

bal jaaa'a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen

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

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ

Innakum lazaaa'iqul 'azaabil aleem

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

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Wa maa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

Ulaaa'ika lahum rizqum ma'loom

Those will have a provision determined -

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ

Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon

Fruits; and they will be honored

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Fee jannaatin Na'eem

In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

'Alaa sururim mutaqaa bileen

On thrones facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ

Yutaafu 'alaihim bikaasim mim ma'een

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

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

Baidaaa'a laz zatil lish shaaribeen

White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ

Laa feehaa ghawlunw wa laa hum 'anhaa yunzafoon

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

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ

Wa 'indahum qaasiraatut tarfi 'een

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

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ

Ka annahunna baidum maknoon

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

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Fa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa badiny yatasaaa 'aloon

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

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ

Qaala qaaa'ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen

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

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ

Yaqoolu a'innnaka laminal musaddiqeen

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

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamadeenoon

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

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

Qaala hal antum muttali'oon

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

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Fattala'a fara aahu fee sawaaa'il Jaheem

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

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ

Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen

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

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

Wa law laa ni'matu Rabbee lakuntu minal muhdareen

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

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen

Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu'azzabeen

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

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Inna haazaa falya'ma lil'aamiloon

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ

Limisli haaza falya'ma lil 'aamiloon

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

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Azaalika khairun nuzulan am shajaratuz Zaqqom

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Innaa ja'alnaahaa fitnatal lizzaalimeen

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

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Innahaa shajaratun takhruju feee aslil Jaheem

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

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

Tal'uhaa ka annahoo ru'oosush Shayaateen

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

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

Fa innahum la aakiloona minhaa famaali'oona minhal butoon

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ

Summa inna lahum 'alaihaa lashawbam min hameem

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Summa inna marji'ahum la ilal Jaheem

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ

Innahum alfaw aabaaa'ahum daaalleen

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

Fahum 'alaa aasaarihim yuhra'oon

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen

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

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen

And We had already sent among them warners.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

Fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul munzareen

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ

Wa laqad naadaanaa Noohun falani'mal mujeeboon

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

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Wa jajainaahu wa ahlahoo minal karbil 'azeem

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

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

Wa ja'alnaa zurriyyatahoo hummul baaqeen

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

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

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

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Salaamun 'alaa Noohin fil 'aalameen

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Wa ina min shee'atihee la Ibraaheem

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ

Iz jaaa'a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta'budoon

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

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

A'ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon

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

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Famaa zannukum bi Rabbil'aalameen

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

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ

Fanazara nazratan finnujoom

And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ

Faqaala inee saqeem

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

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

Fatawallaw 'anhu mudbireen

So they turned away from him, departing.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon

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

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

Maa lakum laa tantiqoon

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

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

Faraagha 'alaihim darbam bilyameen

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

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

Qaala ata'budoona maa tanhitoon

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

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta'maloon

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem

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

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ

Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja 'alnaahumul asfaleen

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

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen

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

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen

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

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ

Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

Falamma balagha ma'a hus sa'ya qaala yaa buniya inneee araa fil manaami anneee azbahuka fanzur maazaa taraa; qaala yaaa abatif 'al maa tu'maru satajidunee in shaaa'allaahu minas saabireen

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."

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

Falammaaa aslamaa wa tallahoo liljabeen

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

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

Wa naadainaahu ai yaaaa Ibraheem

We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Qad saddaqtar ru'yaa; innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

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

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Inna haazaa lahuwal balaaa'ul mubeen

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ

Wa fadainaahu bizibhin 'azeem

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

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

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Salaamun 'alaaa Ibraaheem

"Peace upon Abraham."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyayam minas saaliheen

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

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ

Wa baaraknaa 'alaihi wa 'alaaa Ishaaq; wa min zurriyya tihimaa muhsinunw wa zaalimul linafshihee mubeen

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

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Wa najjainaahumaa wa qawmahumaa minal karbil 'azeem

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

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

Wa nasarnaahum fakaanoo humul ghaalibeen

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ

Wa aatainaahumal Kitaabal mustabeen

And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem

And We guided them on the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen

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

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Innahumaa min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon

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

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ

Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen

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

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

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

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

Except the chosen servants of Allah.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

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

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

Salaamun 'alaaa Ilyaaseen

"Peace upon Elias."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een

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

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ

Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen

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

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

Summa dammarnal aakhareen

Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ

Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon

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

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ

Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ

Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ

Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

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

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ

Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem

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

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ

Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon

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

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ

Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen

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

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon

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

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ

Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon

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

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon

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

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon

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

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ

Astafal banaati 'alal baneen

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon

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

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Afalaa tazakkaroon

Then will you not be reminded?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

Am lakum sultaanum mubeen

Or do you have a clear authority?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon

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].

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon

Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

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

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon

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

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem

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

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ

Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen

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

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon

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

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen

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

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ

Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon

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

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ

Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen

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

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon

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

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen

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

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ

Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen

And leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon

And see, for they are going to see.

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon

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

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen

And peace upon the messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
