37. As-Saaffaat سُورَةُ الصَّافَّاتِ
Saheeh InternationalBy those [angels] lined up in rows
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who drive [the clouds]
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who recite the message
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, your God is One
Saheeh InternationalLord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
Saheeh InternationalAnd as protection against every rebellious devil
Saheeh International[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side
Saheeh InternationalRepelled; and for them is a constant punishment
Saheeh InternationalExcept one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]
Saheeh InternationalThen 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
Saheeh InternationalAnd when they are reminded, they remember not
Saheeh InternationalAnd when they see a sign, they ridicule
Saheeh InternationalAnd say, "This is not but obvious magic
Saheeh InternationalWhen we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected
Saheeh InternationalAnd our forefathers [as well]
Saheeh InternationalSay, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible
Saheeh InternationalIt will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing
Saheeh InternationalThey will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense
Saheeh International[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny
Saheeh International[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
Saheeh InternationalOther than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
Saheeh InternationalAnd stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned
Saheeh International[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other
Saheeh InternationalBut they, that Day, are in surrender
Saheeh InternationalAnd they will approach one another blaming each other
Saheeh InternationalThey will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right
Saheeh InternationalThe oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers
Saheeh InternationalAnd we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people
Saheeh InternationalSo the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]
Saheeh InternationalAnd we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators
Saheeh InternationalSo indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, that is how We deal with the criminals
Saheeh InternationalIndeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
Saheeh InternationalAnd were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet
Saheeh InternationalRather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment
Saheeh InternationalAnd you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do
Saheeh InternationalBut not the chosen servants of Allah
Saheeh InternationalThose will have a provision determined
Saheeh InternationalFruits; and they will be honored
Saheeh InternationalIn gardens of pleasure
Saheeh InternationalOn thrones facing one another
Saheeh InternationalThere will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring
Saheeh InternationalWhite and delicious to the drinkers
Saheeh InternationalNo bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated
Saheeh InternationalAnd with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes
Saheeh InternationalAs if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected
Saheeh InternationalAnd they will approach one another, inquiring of each other
Saheeh InternationalA speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
Saheeh InternationalWho would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
Saheeh InternationalThat when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed
Saheeh InternationalHe will say, "Would you [care to] look
Saheeh InternationalAnd he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire
Saheeh InternationalHe will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me
Saheeh InternationalIf not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]
Saheeh InternationalThen, are we not to die
Saheeh InternationalExcept for our first death, and we will not be punished
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, this is the great attainment
Saheeh InternationalFor the like of this let the workers [on earth] work
Saheeh InternationalIs Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire
Saheeh InternationalIts emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies
Saheeh InternationalThen indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water
Saheeh InternationalThen indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire
Saheeh InternationalIndeed they found their fathers astray
Saheeh InternationalSo they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps
Saheeh InternationalAnd there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples
Saheeh InternationalAnd We had already sent among them warners
Saheeh InternationalThen look how was the end of those who were warned
Saheeh InternationalBut not the chosen servants of Allah
Saheeh InternationalAnd Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders
Saheeh InternationalAnd We saved him and his family from the great affliction
Saheeh InternationalAnd We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
Saheeh InternationalAnd left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
Saheeh InternationalPeace upon Noah among the worlds
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, he was of Our believing servants
Saheeh InternationalThen We drowned the disbelievers
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, among his kind was Abraham
Saheeh InternationalWhen he came to his Lord with a sound heart
Saheeh International[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship
Saheeh InternationalIs it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire
Saheeh InternationalThen what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds
Saheeh InternationalSo they turned away from him, departing
Saheeh InternationalThen he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat
Saheeh InternationalWhat is [wrong] with you that you do not speak
Saheeh InternationalAnd he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand
Saheeh InternationalThen the people came toward him, hastening
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve
Saheeh InternationalWhile Allah created you and that which you do
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire
Saheeh InternationalAnd they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased
Saheeh InternationalAnd [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me
Saheeh InternationalMy Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous
Saheeh InternationalSo We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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
Saheeh InternationalAnd when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead
Saheeh InternationalWe called to him, "O Abraham
Saheeh InternationalYou have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, this was the clear trial
Saheeh InternationalAnd We ransomed him with a great sacrifice
Saheeh InternationalAnd We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
Saheeh InternationalPeace upon Abraham
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, he was of Our believing servants
Saheeh InternationalAnd We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous
Saheeh InternationalAnd We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself
Saheeh InternationalAnd We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron
Saheeh InternationalAnd We saved them and their people from the great affliction
Saheeh InternationalAnd We supported them so it was they who overcame
Saheeh InternationalAnd We gave them the explicit Scripture
Saheeh InternationalAnd We guided them on the straight path
Saheeh InternationalAnd We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations
Saheeh InternationalPeace upon Moses and Aaron
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, they were of Our believing servants
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, Elias was from among the messengers
Saheeh InternationalWhen he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah
Saheeh InternationalDo you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators
Saheeh InternationalAllah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers
Saheeh InternationalAnd they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]
Saheeh InternationalExcept the chosen servants of Allah
Saheeh InternationalAnd We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
Saheeh InternationalPeace upon Elias
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, he was of Our believing servants
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, Lot was among the messengers
Saheeh International[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all
Saheeh InternationalExcept his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]
Saheeh InternationalThen We destroyed the others
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, you pass by them in the morning
Saheeh InternationalAnd at night. Then will you not use reason
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, Jonah was among the messengers
Saheeh International[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship
Saheeh InternationalAnd he drew lots and was among the losers
Saheeh InternationalThen the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy
Saheeh InternationalAnd had he not been of those who exalt Allah
Saheeh InternationalHe would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected
Saheeh InternationalBut We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill
Saheeh InternationalAnd We caused to grow over him a gourd vine
Saheeh InternationalAnd We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more
Saheeh InternationalAnd they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time
Saheeh InternationalSo inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons
Saheeh InternationalOr did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses
Saheeh InternationalUnquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say
Saheeh InternationalAllah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars
Saheeh InternationalHas He chosen daughters over sons
Saheeh InternationalWhat is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement
Saheeh InternationalThen will you not be reminded
Saheeh InternationalOr do you have a clear authority
Saheeh InternationalThen produce your scripture, if you should be truthful
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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]
Saheeh InternationalExalted is Allah above what they describe
Saheeh InternationalExcept the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]
Saheeh InternationalSo indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship
Saheeh InternationalYou cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
Saheeh InternationalExcept he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire
Saheeh International[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, we are those who exalt Allah
Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, the disbelievers used to say
Saheeh InternationalIf we had a message from [those of] the former peoples
Saheeh InternationalWe would have been the chosen servants of Allah
Saheeh InternationalBut they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know
Saheeh InternationalAnd Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers
Saheeh International[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
Saheeh InternationalAnd [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome
Saheeh InternationalSo, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time
Saheeh InternationalAnd see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see
Saheeh InternationalThen for Our punishment are they impatient
Saheeh InternationalBut when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned
Saheeh InternationalAnd leave them for a time
Saheeh InternationalAnd see, for they are going to see
Saheeh InternationalExalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe
Saheeh InternationalAnd peace upon the messengers
Saheeh InternationalAnd praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
