Surah 37 الصافات

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ Verse 9

Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ Verse 10

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

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَا ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍ Verse 11

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.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ Verse 12

Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ Verse 13

And heed not when they are reminded,

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ Verse 14

And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ Verse 15

And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ Verse 16

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

أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ Verse 17

And our forefathers?

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَاخِرُونَ Verse 18

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

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ Verse 19

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ Verse 20

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

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ Verse 21

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

احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ Verse 22

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

مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ Verse 23

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

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْئُولُونَ Verse 24

And stop them, for they must be questioned.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ Verse 25

What aileth you that ye help not one another?

بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ Verse 26

Nay, but this day they make full submission.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ Verse 27

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ Verse 28

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

قَالُوا بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 29

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

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ Verse 30

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

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَا ۖ إِنَّا لَذَائِقُونَ Verse 31

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

فَأَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَاوِينَ Verse 32

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

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ Verse 33

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

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ Verse 34

Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ Verse 35

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

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُو آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍ Verse 36

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

بَلْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 37

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

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ Verse 38

Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ Verse 39

Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Verse 40

Save single-minded slaves of Allah;

أُولَـٰئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ Verse 41

For them there is a known provision,

فَوَاكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ Verse 42

Fruits. And they will be honoured

فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ Verse 43

In the Gardens of delight,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ Verse 44

On couches facing one another;

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ Verse 45

A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

بَيْضَاءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّارِبِينَ Verse 46

White, delicious to the drinkers,

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ Verse 47

Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ Verse 48

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

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ Verse 49

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

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ Verse 50

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٌ Verse 51

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

يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ Verse 52

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

أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ Verse 53

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

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ Verse 54

He saith: Will ye look?

فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَآهُ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ Verse 55

Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

قَالَ تَاللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ Verse 56

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

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ Verse 57

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

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ Verse 58

Are we then not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ Verse 59

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ Verse 60

Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ Verse 61

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

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ Verse 62

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

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّالِمِينَ Verse 63

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

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ Verse 64

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

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ Verse 65

Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَآكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ Verse 66

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ Verse 67

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ Verse 68

And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ Verse 69

They indeed found their fathers astray,

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ Verse 70

But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ Verse 71

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

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ Verse 72

And verily We sent among them warners.

فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنذَرِينَ Verse 73

Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Verse 74

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ Verse 75

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

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ Verse 76

And We saved him and his household from the great distress,

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ Verse 77

And made his seed the survivors,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ Verse 78

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

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ Verse 79

Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ Verse 80

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 81

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ Verse 82

Then We did drown the others.

وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ Verse 83

And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ Verse 84

When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ Verse 85

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

أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ Verse 86

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

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ Verse 87

What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ Verse 88

And he glanced a glance at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ Verse 89

Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ Verse 90

And they turned their backs and went away from him.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ Verse 91

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

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ Verse 92

What aileth you that ye speak not?

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ Verse 93

Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ Verse 94

And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ Verse 95

He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ Verse 96

When Allah hath created you and what ye make?

قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ Verse 97

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

فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ Verse 98

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

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ Verse 99

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

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ Verse 100

My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ Verse 101

So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ Verse 102

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.

فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ Verse 103

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

وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَن يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ Verse 104

We called unto him: O Abraham!

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ Verse 105

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ Verse 106

Lo! that verily was a clear test.

وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ Verse 107

Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ Verse 108

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

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ Verse 109

Peace be unto Abraham!

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ Verse 110

Thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 111

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ Verse 112

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

وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ Verse 113

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

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ Verse 114

And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ Verse 115

And saved them and their people from the great distress,

وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ Verse 116

And helped them so that they became the victors.

وَآتَيْنَاهُمَا الْكِتَابَ الْمُسْتَبِينَ Verse 117

And We gave them the clear Scripture

وَهَدَيْنَاهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ Verse 118

And showed them the right path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الْآخِرِينَ Verse 119

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

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ Verse 120

Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ Verse 121

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 122

Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 123

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

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ Verse 124

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

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ Verse 125

Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,

اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ Verse 126

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ Verse 127

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Verse 128

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ Verse 129

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

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ Verse 130

Peace be unto Elias!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ Verse 131

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ Verse 132

Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 133

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

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 134

When We saved him and his household, every one,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ Verse 135

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ Verse 136

Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ Verse 137

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

وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ Verse 138

And at night-time; have ye then no sense?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 139

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

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ Verse 140

When he fled unto the laden ship,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ Verse 141

And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ Verse 142

And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ Verse 143

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

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ Verse 144

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

فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ Verse 145

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

وَأَنبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ Verse 146

And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ Verse 147

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

فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ Verse 148

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

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ Verse 149

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

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ Verse 150

Or created We the angels females while they were present?

أَلَا إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ Verse 151

Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ Verse 152

Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ Verse 153

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

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ Verse 154

What aileth you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ Verse 155

Will ye not then reflect?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُّبِينٌ Verse 156

Or have ye a clear warrant?

فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ Verse 157

Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ Verse 158

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

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ Verse 159

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Verse 160

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ Verse 161

Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,

مَا أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ Verse 162

Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ Verse 163

Save him who is to burn in hell.

وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ Verse 164

There is not one of us but hath his known position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ Verse 165

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ Verse 166

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

وَإِن كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ Verse 167

And indeed they used to say:

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ Verse 168

If we had but a reminder from the men of old

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Verse 169

We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.

فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ Verse 170

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

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 171

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

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنصُورُونَ Verse 172

That they verily would be helped,

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ Verse 173

And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ Verse 174

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ Verse 175

And watch, for they will (soon) see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ Verse 176

Would they hasten on Our doom?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنذَرِينَ Verse 177

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

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ Verse 178

Withdraw from them awhile

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ Verse 179

And watch, for they will (soon) see.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ Verse 180

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

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ Verse 181

And peace be unto those sent (to warn).

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ Verse 182

And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
