Surah As-Saffah

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفّٗا

Wassaaaffaati saffaa

By those who range themselves in ranks,

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا

Fazzaajiraati zajraa

And so are strong in repelling (evil),

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

Fattaaliyaati Zikra

And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ

Inna Illaahakum la Waahid

Verily, your God is one!-

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ

Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa Rabbul mashaariq

Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ

Innaa zaiyannas samaaa 'ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib

We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,-

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ

Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid

(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ

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

(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ

Duhooranw wa lahum 'azaabunw waasib

Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ

Illaa man khatifal khatfata fa atba'ahoo shihaabun saaqib

Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.

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

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

Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

Bal'ajibta wa yaskharoon

Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ

Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon

And, when they are admonished, pay no heed,-

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

Wa izaa ra aw Aayatany yastaskhiroon

And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ

Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen

And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'a innaa lamab'oosoon

"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

Awa aabaa'unal awwaloon

"And also our fathers of old?"

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

Qul na'am wa antum daakhiroon

Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon

Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen

They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Haazaa Yawmul Faslil lazee kuntum bihee tukaziboon

(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"

۞ ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ

Uhshurul lazeena zalamoo wa azwaajahum wa maa kaanoo ya'budoon

"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped-

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem

"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ

Wa qifoohum innahum mas'ooloon

"But stop them, for they must be asked:

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

Maa lakum laa tanaasaroon

"'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ

Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon

Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment);

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

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

And they will turn to one another, and question one another.

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa 'anil yameen

They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!"

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu'mineen

They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ

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

"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

Fahaqqa 'alainaa qawlu Rabbinaaa innaa lazaaa'iqoon

"So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins).

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

Fa aghwainaakum innaa kunnaa ghaaween

"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

Fa innahum Yawma'izin fil'azaabi mushtarikoon

Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Innaa kazaalika naf'alu bil mujrimeen

Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

Innahum kaanooo izaa qeela lahum laaa ilaaha illal laahu yastakbiroon

For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

Wa yaqooloona a'innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa'irim majnoon

And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

bal jaaa'a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen

Nay! he has come with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the messengers (before him).

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ

Innakum lazaaa'iqul 'azaabil aleem

Ye shall indeed taste of the Grievous Penalty;-

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

Wa maa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon

But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought;-

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah,-

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

Ulaaa'ika lahum rizqum ma'loom

For them is a Sustenance determined,

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon

Fruits (Delights); and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity,

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Fee jannaatin Na'eem

In Gardens of Felicity,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

Alaa sururim mutaqaa bileen

Facing each other on Thrones (of Dignity):

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

Yutaafu 'alaihim bikaasim mim ma'een

Round will be passed to them a Cup from a clear-flowing fountain,

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

Baidaaa'a laz zatil lish shaaribeen

Crystal-white, of a taste delicious to those who drink (thereof),

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ

Laa feehaa ghawlunw wa laa hum 'anhaa yunzafoon

Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

Wa 'indahum qaasiraatut tarfi 'een

And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

Ka annahunna baidum maknoon

As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded.

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Fa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa badiny yatasaaa 'aloon

Then they will turn to one another and question one another.

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

Qaala qaaa'ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen

One of them will start the talk and say: "I had an intimate companion (on the earth),

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

Yaqoolu 'a innaka laminal musaddiqeen

"Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)?

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'a innaa lamadeenoon

"'When we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and punishments?'"

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

Qaala hal antum muttali'oon

(A voice) said: "Would ye like to look down?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Fattala'a fara aahu fee sawaaa'il Jaheem

He looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen

He said: "By Allah! thou wast little short of bringing me to perdition!

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

Wa law laa ni'matu Rabbee lakuntu minal muhdareen

"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)!

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen

"Is it (the case) that we shall not die,

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu'azzabeen

"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

Inna haazaa lahuwal fawzul 'azeem

Verily this is the supreme achievement!

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ

Limisli haaza falya'ma lil 'aamiloon

For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Azaalika khairun nuzulan am shajaratuz Zaqqoom

Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

Innaa ja'alnaahaa fitnatal lizzaalimeen

For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Innahaa shajaratun takhruju feee aslil Jaheem

For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

Tal'uhaa ka annahoo ru'oosush Shayaateen

The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils:

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

Fa innahum la aakiloona minhaa famaali'oona minhal butoon

Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

Summa inna lahum 'alaihaa lashawbam min hameem

Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Summa inna marji'ahum la ilal Jaheem

Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire.

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

Innahum alfaw aabaaa'ahum daaalleen

Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path;

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

Fahum 'alaa aasaarihim yuhra'oon

So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Wa laqad dalla qablahum aksarul awwaleen

And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;-

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

Wa laqad arsalnaa feehim munzireen

But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them;-

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul munzareen

Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),-

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah.

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

Wa laqad naadaanaa Noohun falani'mal mujeeboon

(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Wa najjainaahu wa ahlahoo minal karbil 'azeem

And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

Wa ja'alnaa zurriyyatahoo hummul baaqeen

And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Salaamun 'alaa Noohin fil 'aalameen

"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Thus indeed do we reward those who do right.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

For he was one of our believing Servants.

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Wa inna min shee'atihee la Ibraaheem

Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

Iz jaaa'a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem

Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart.

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta'budoon

Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

A'ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon

"Is it a falsehood- gods other than Allah- that ye desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Famaa zannukum bi Rabbil'aalameen

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

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

Fanazara nazratan finnujoom

Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

Faqaala innee saqeem

And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

Fatawallaw 'anhu mudbireen

So they turned away from him, and departed.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon

Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

Maa lakum laa tantiqoon

"What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Faraagha 'alaihim darbam bilyameen

Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon

Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

Qaala ata'budoona maa tanhitoon

He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta'maloon

"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem

They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja 'alnaahumul asfaleen

(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen

He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen

"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem

So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.

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

Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

Falammaaa aslamaa wa tallahoo liljabeen

So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

Wa naadainaahu ai yaaaa Ibraheem

We called out to him "O Abraham!

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Qad saddaqtar ru'yaa; innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

Inna haazaa lahuwal balaaa'ul mubeen

For this was obviously a trial-

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

Wa fadainaahu bizibhin 'azeem

And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Salaamun 'alaaa Ibraaheem

"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

For he was one of our believing Servants.

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyam minas saaliheen

And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

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

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Wa najjainaahumaa wa qawmahumaa minal karbil 'azeem

And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

Wa nasarnaahum fakaanoo humul ghaalibeen

And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

Wa aatainaahumal Kitaabal mustabeen

And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem

And We guided them to the Straight Way.

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen

And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Innahumaa min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

For they were two of our believing Servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen

So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon

Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen

"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,-

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon

But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

Salaamun 'alaaa Ilyaaseen

"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

For he was one of our believing Servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen

So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een

Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen

Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Summa dammarnal aakhareen

Then We destroyed the rest.

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen

Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon

And by night: will ye not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen

So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon

When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen

He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem

Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen

Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem

But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen

And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon

And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen

And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon

Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hum shaahidoon

Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon

Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

Waladal laahu wa innahum lakaaziboon

"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

Astafal banaati 'alal baneen

Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon

What is the matter with you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Afalaa tazakkaroon

Will ye not then receive admonition?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

Am lakum sultaanum mubeen

Or have ye an authority manifest?

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen

Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

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

And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon

Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

Fa innakum wa maa ta'budoon

For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship-

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

Maaa antum 'alaihi bi faaatineen

Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem

Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

Wa maa minnaaa illaa lahoo maqaamun ma'loom

(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

Wa innaa lanah nus saaffoon

"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon

"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon

And there were those who said,

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Law anna 'indanaa zikram minal awwaleen

"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon

But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen

Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon

That they would certainly be assisted,

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon

And that Our forces,- they surely must conquer.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen

So turn thou away from them for a little while,

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon

And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen

But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen

So turn thou away from them for a little while,

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon

And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon

Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen

And Peace on the messengers!

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen

And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
