By those who set the ranks in battle order ( Quran As-Saffat 37:1 ) And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof ( Quran As-Saffat 37:2 ) And those who read (the Word) for a reminder, ( Quran As-Saffat 37:3 ) Lo! thy Lord is surely One; ( Quran As-Saffat37:4 ) Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun’s risings. ( Quran As-Saffat 37:5 ) Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets; ( Quran As-Saffat 37:6 ) With security from every froward devil. ( Quran As-Saffat 37:7 ) They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side, ( Quran As-Saffat 37:8 ) Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment; ( Quran As-Saffat 37:9 ) Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame. ( Quran As-Saffat 37:10 ) 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. ( Quran As-Saffat 37:11 ) Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock ( Quran 37:12 ) And heed not when they are reminded, ( Quran 37:13 ) And seek to scoff when they behold a portent. ( Quran 37:14 ) And they say: Lo! this is mere magic; ( Quran 37:15 ) When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)? ( Quran 37:16 ) And our forefathers? ( Quran 37:17 ) Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low. ( Quran 37:18 ) There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold, ( Quran 37:19 ) And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment. ( Quran 37:20 ) This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny. ( Quran 37:21 ) (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship ( Quran 37:22 ) Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell; ( Quran 37:23 ) And stop them, for they must be questioned. ( Quran 37:24 ) What aileth you that ye help not one another? ( Quran 37:25 ) Nay, but this day they make full submission. ( Quran 37:26 ) And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. ( Quran 37:27 ) They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth). ( Quran 37:28 ) They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers. ( Quran 37:29 ) We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk. ( Quran 37:30 ) Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom). ( Quran 37:31 ) Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray. ( Quran 37:32 ) Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom. ( Quran 37:33 ) Lo! thus deal We with the guilty. ( Quran 37:34 ) For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful ( Quran 37:35 ) And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet? ( Quran 37:36 ) Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him). ( Quran 37:37 ) Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom – ( Quran 37:38 ) Ye are requited naught save what ye did – ( Quran 37:39 ) Save single-minded slaves of Allah; ( Quran 37:40 ) For them there is a known provision, ( Quran 37:41 ) Fruits. And they will be honoured ( Quran 37:42 ) In the Gardens of delight, ( Quran 37:43 ) On couches facing one another; ( Quran 37:44 ) A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them, ( Quran 37:45 ) White, delicious to the drinkers, ( Quran 37:46 ) Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. ( Quran 37:47 ) And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, ( Quran 37:48 ) (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich). ( Quran 37:49 ) And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. ( Quran 37:50 ) A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade ( Quran 37:51 ) Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)? ( Quran 37:52 ) Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones – can we (then) verily be brought to book? ( Quran 37:53 ) He saith: Will ye look? ( Quran 37:54 ) Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell. ( Quran 37:55 ) He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin, ( Quran 37:56 ) And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom). ( Quran 37:57 ) Are we then not to die ( Quran 37:58 ) Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished? ( Quran 37:59 ) Lo! this is the supreme triumph. ( Quran 37:60 ) For the like of this, then, let the workers work. ( Quran 37:61 ) Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum? ( Quran 37:62 ) Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers. ( Quran 37:63 ) Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell. ( Quran 37:64 ) Its crop is as it were the heads of devils ( Quran 37:65 ) And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith. ( Quran 37:66 ) And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water ( Quran 37:67 ) And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell. ( Quran 37:68 ) They indeed found their fathers astray, ( Quran 37:69 ) But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. ( Quran 37:70 ) And verily most of the men of old went astray before them, ( Quran 37:71 ) And verily We sent among them warners. ( Quran 37:72 ) Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned, ( Quran 37:73 ) Save single-minded slaves of Allah. ( Quran 37:74 ) And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer ( Quran 37:75 ) And We saved him and his household from the great distress, ( Quran 37:76 ) And made his seed the survivors, ( Quran 37:77 ) And left for him among the later folk (the salutation): ( Quran 37:78 ) Peace be unto Noah among the peoples! ( Quran 37:79 ) Lo! thus do We reward the good. ( Quran 37:80 ) Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. ( Quran 37:81 ) Then We did drown the others. ( Quran 37:82 ) And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham ( Quran 37:83 ) When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart; ( Quran 37:84 ) When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship? ( Quran 37:85 ) Is it a falsehood – gods beside Allah – that ye desire? ( Quran 37:86 ) What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds? ( Quran 37:87 ) And he glanced a glance at the stars ( Quran 37:88 ) Then said: Lo! I feel sick! ( Quran 37:89 ) And they turned their backs and went away from him. ( Quran 37:90 ) Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? ( Quran 37:91 ) What aileth you that ye speak not? ( Quran 37:92 ) Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. ( Quran 37:93 ) And (his people) came toward him, hastening. ( Quran 37:94 ) He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve ( Quran 37:95 ) When Allah hath created you and what ye make? ( Quran 37:96 ) They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire. ( Quran 37:97 ) And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost. ( Quran 37:98 ) And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. ( Quran 37:99 ) My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous. ( Quran 37:100 ) So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. ( Quran 37:101 ) 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. ( Quran 37:102 ) Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face, ( Quran 37:103 ) We called unto him: O Abraham! ( Quran 37:104 ) Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good. ( Quran 37:105 ) Lo! that verily was a clear test. ( Quran 37:106 ) Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim. ( Quran 37:107 ) And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation): ( Quran 37:108 ) Peace be unto Abraham! ( Quran 37:109 ) Thus do We reward the good. ( Quran 37:110 ) Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. ( Quran 37:111 ) And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous. ( Quran 37:112 ) And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves. ( Quran 37:113 ) And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron, ( Quran 37:114 ) And saved them and their people from the great distress, ( Quran 37:115 ) And helped them so that they became the victors. ( Quran 37:116 ) And We gave them the clear Scripture ( Quran 37:117 ) And showed them the right path. ( Quran 37:118 ) And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation): ( Quran 37:119 ) Peace be unto Moses and Aaron! ( Quran 37:120 ) Lo! thus do We reward the good. ( Quran 37:121 ) Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves. ( Quran 37:122 ) And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn), ( Quran 37:123 ) When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)? ( Quran 37:124 ) Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators, ( Quran 37:125 ) Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers? ( Quran 37:126 ) But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom) ( Quran 37:127 ) Save single-minded slaves of Allah. ( Quran 37:128 ) And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation): ( Quran 37:129 ) Peace be unto Elias! ( Quran 37:130 ) Lo! thus do We reward the good. ( Quran 37:131 ) Lo! he is one of our believing slaves. ( Quran 37:132 ) And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn). ( Quran 37:133 ) When We saved him and his household, every one, ( Quran 37:134 ) Save an old woman among those who stayed behind; ( Quran 37:135 ) Then We destroyed the others. ( Quran 37:136 ) And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning ( Quran 37:137 ) And at night-time; have ye then no sense? ( Quran 37:138 ) And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) ( Quran 37:139 ) When he fled unto the laden ship, ( Quran 37:140 ) And then drew lots and was of those rejected; ( Quran 37:141 ) And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; ( Quran 37:142 ) And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) ( Quran 37:143 ) He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; ( Quran 37:144 ) Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; ( Quran 37:145 ) And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; ( Quran 37:146 ) And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more ( Quran 37:147 ) And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while. ( Quran 37:148 ) Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons? ( Quran 37:149 ) Or created We the angels females while they were present? ( Quran 37:150 ) Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say: ( Quran 37:151 ) Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie. ( Quran 37:152 ) (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons. ( Quran 37:153 ) What aileth you? How judge ye? ( Quran 37:154 ) Will ye not then reflect? ( Quran 37:155 ) Or have ye a clear warrant? ( Quran 37:156 ) Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful. ( Quran 37:157 ) And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him). ( Quran 37:158 ) Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him), ( Quran 37:159 ) Save single-minded slaves of Allah. ( Quran 37:160 ) Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship, ( Quran 37:161 ) Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him. ( Quran 37:162 ) Save him who is to burn in hell. ( Quran 37:163 ) There is not one of us but hath his known position. ( Quran 37:164 ) Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks, ( Quran 37:165 ) Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise ( Quran 37:166 ) And indeed they used to say: ( Quran 37:167 ) If we had but a reminder from the men of old ( Quran 37:168 ) We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. ( Quran 37:169 ) Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know. ( Quran 37:170 ) And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn) ( Quran 37:171 ) That they verily would be helped, ( Quran 37:172 ) And that Our host, they verily would be the victors. ( Quran 37:173 ) So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile, ( Quran 37:174 ) And watch, for they will (soon) see. ( Quran 37:175 ) Would they hasten on Our doom? ( Quran 37:176 ) But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned. ( Quran 37:177 ) Withdraw from them awhile ( Quran 37:178 ) And watch, for they will (soon) see. ( Quran 37:179 ) Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him) ( Quran 37:180 ) And peace be unto those sent (to warn). ( Quran 37:181 ) And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! ( Quran 37:182 ) SHARE THIS: Like
