As-Saffat (الصافات)

وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفّٗا By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَٱلزَّـٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا And those who drive [the clouds]

فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا And those who recite the message

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ Indeed, your God is One

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ 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

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ But you wonder, while they mock

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ And when they are reminded, they remember not

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ And when they see a sign, they ridicule

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ And say, “This is not but obvious magic

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ And our forefathers [as well]

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ Say, “Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ They will say, “O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ [They will be told], “This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny

۞ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ [The angels will be ordered], “Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ [They will be asked], “What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ But they, that Day, are in surrender

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ And they will approach one another blaming each other

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ They will say, “Indeed, you used to come at us from the right

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ The oppressors will say, “Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ Indeed they, when it was said to them, “There is no deity but Allah,” were arrogant

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ And were saying, “Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ But not the chosen servants of Allah

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ Those will have a provision determined

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ Fruits; and they will be honored

فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ On thrones facing one another

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ White and delicious to the drinkers

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ A speaker among them will say, “Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ Who would say, ‘Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ He will say, “Would you [care to] look

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ He will say, “By Allah, you almost ruined me

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ Except for our first death, and we will not be punished

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ Indeed, this is the great attainment

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ Indeed they found their fathers astray

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ And We had already sent among them warners

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ Then look how was the end of those who were warned

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ But not the chosen servants of Allah

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ And We saved him and his family from the great affliction

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ Peace upon Noah among the worlds

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ Then We drowned the disbelievers

۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ [And] when he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ And said, “Indeed, I am [about to be] ill

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ So they turned away from him, departing

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ Then he turned to their gods and said, “Do you not eat

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ Then the people came toward him, hastening

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ He said, “Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ While Allah created you and that which you do

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ They said, “Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ And [then] he said, “Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ 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

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ We called to him, “O Abraham

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ You have fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ Indeed, this was the clear trial

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ Peace upon Abraham

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ And We saved them and their people from the great affliction

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ And We supported them so it was they who overcame

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ And We gave them the explicit Scripture

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ And We guided them on the straight path

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ Peace upon Moses and Aaron

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ Indeed, they were of Our believing servants

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ When he said to his people, “Will you not fear Allah

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ Do you call upon Ba’l and leave the best of creators

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ Except the chosen servants of Allah

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ Peace upon Elias

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ And indeed, Lot was among the messengers

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ [So mention] when We saved him and his family, all

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ Then We destroyed the others

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ And at night. Then will you not use reason

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ And he drew lots and was among the losers

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected

۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ Allah has begotten,” and indeed, they are liars

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ Has He chosen daughters over sons

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ Then will you not be reminded

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ Or do you have a clear authority

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ 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]

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ Exalted is Allah above what they describe

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire

وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ [The angels say], “There is not among us any except that he has a known position

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ And indeed, the disbelievers used to say

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ We would have been the chosen servants of Allah

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ Then for Our punishment are they impatient

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ And leave them for a time

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ And see, for they are going to see

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ And peace upon the messengers

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
