سُورَةُ الصَّافَّاتِ
Those drawn up in Ranks
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا
Wassaaaffaati saffaa
I CALL TO witness those who stand arrayed in rows,

Fazzaajiraati zajraa
And those who restrain by reprimanding,
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
Fattaaliyaati Zikra
And those who recite the Reminder,
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ
Inna Illaahakum la Waahid
Verily your God is One,
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ
Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa Rabbul mashaariq
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and the Lord of the Easts.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
Innaa zaiyannas samaaa 'ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib
He decked the nearest heavens with ornaments of stars,
وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ
Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid
Protecting them against every wayward devil,
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ
Laa yassamma 'oona ilal mala il a'alaa wa yuqzafoona min kulli jaanib
So that they are not able to listen to the angels of higher (echelons), and are pelted from all sides
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ
Duhooranw wa lahum 'azaabunw waasib
And kept far away. There is perpetual punishment for them,
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ
Illaa man khatifal khatfata fa atba'ahoo shihaabun saaqib
Except those who eavesdrop and are pursued by a shooting flame.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ
Fastaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnaa; innaa khalaqnaahum min teenil laazib
So ask them if they are more difficult to create, or the rest We have created? Indeed (man) We created from fermented clay.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
Bal'ajibta wa yaskharoon
Yet while you are filled with wonder, they just scoff;
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon
And when they are warned they pay no heed.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
Wa izaa ra aw Aayatinw yastaskhiroon
When they see a sign, they laugh at it,
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ
Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen
And say: "This is only magic.

'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamab'oosoon
When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, how can we be raised again,
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
Awa aabaa'unal awwaloon
And our fathers too?"
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
Qul na'am wa antum daakhiroon
You say: "Yes; and you will be lowly made."
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon
There will only be a single jerk, and they will gape,
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Qa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen
And say: "Ah woe! This is the Day of Reckoning."
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Haazaa Yawmul Faslil lazee kuntum bihee tukaziboon
"(Yes,) this is the Day of Judgement you had called a lie."
۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

Gather all the wicked together and their comrades, and those they had worshipped
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem
Other than God," (the angels will be told), "then show them the way to Hell,
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
Wa qifoohum innahum mas'ooloon
And detain them, for they will be questioned."
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Maa lakum laa tanaasaroon
"What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?"
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon
They will submit to questioning then,
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Wa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa ba'diny yatasaaa'aloon
And some of them will confront the others,
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa 'anil yameen
Saying: "It were you who imposed yourselves upon us."
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu'mineen
They will say: "No, you were the ones who would not believe.
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ
Wa maa kaana lanaa 'alaikum min sultaanim bal kuntum qawman taagheen
We had no power over you. In fact, you were a people rebellious.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
Fahaqqa 'alainaa qawlu Rabbinaaa innaa lazaaa'iqoon
The sentence of our Lord has come true for us. We have certainly to taste (the punishment),
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
Fa aghwainaakum innaa kunnaa ghaaween
For we had led you astray. In fact we ourselves were astray."
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Fa innahum Yawma'izin fil'azaabi mushtarikoon
So, they will become partners in punishment.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Innaa kazaalika naf'alu bil mujrimeen
That is how We deal with sinners.

Innahum kaanooo izaa qeela lahum laaa ilaaha illal laahu yastakbiroon
They were those who, when it was said to them, "There is no god but God," behaved with insolence,
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
Wa yaqooloona a'innaa lataarikooo aalihatinaa lishaa'irim majnoon

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
bal jaaa'a bilhaqqi wa saddaqal mursaleen
Not in the least. He has brought the truth and confirmed the other messengers.
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ
Innakum lazaaa'iqul 'azaabil aleem
You will indeed taste a painful punishment,
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Wa maa tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta'maloon
And be rewarded but only for what you had done,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except the chosen creatures of God,

Ulaaa'ika lahum rizqum ma'loom
Whose provision is predetermined --
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ
Fa waakihu wa hum mukramoon
Fruits of every kind, and they will be honoured
فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Fee jannaatin Na'eem
In gardens of delight,
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

(Sitting) on couches, face to face,

With cups from a flowing stream being passed around,

Clear, delicious to drink,

Neither dulling the senses nor intoxicating,

And with them maidens of modest look and large lustrous eyes,
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ
Ka annahunna baidum maknoon
Like sheltered eggs in a nest.
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa badiny yatasaaa 'aloon
Then one turned to the other in an enquiry.
قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ
Qaala qaaa'ilum minhum innee kaana lee qareen
Said one of the speakers: "I had a friend
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
Yaqoolu a'innnaka laminal musaddiqeen
Who used to say: 'Are you one of those who can testify to the truth?
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamadeenoon
(Do you think) we would be paid back our due when we are dead and reduced to dust and bones?'
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
Qaala hal antum muttali'oon
He said: 'Will you look down?'
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Fattala'a fara aahu fee sawaaa'il Jaheem
He looked down and saw (his friend) in the midst of Hell.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ
Qaala tallaahi in kitta laturdeen
'By God', he said, 'you had almost ruined me.
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
Wa law laa ni'matu Rabbee lakuntu minal muhdareen
Had it not been for the grace of my Lord I too would have been there (in Hell).
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Afamaa nahnu bimaiyiteen
(Another will say:)"Is it true, we are not going to die
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
Illa mawtatanal oola wa maa nahnu bimu'azzabeen
Other than our first death, and we shall not be punished?

This will indeed be great happiness.

Limisli haaza falya'ma lil 'aamiloon
For this the toilers should strive."

They had found their fathers astray,

Yet they hasten to follow in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

So had many an earlier people gone astray,

Look, then how was the end of those who had been warned,

Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Other than the chosen creatures of God.

And Abraham indeed was of his inducement,
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ
Iz jaaa'a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem
When he came to his Lord with a heart compliant,
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta'budoon

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
A'ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon
Why do you solicit false gods instead of God?

What do you imagine the Lord of the worlds to be?"
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ

Then he looked up at the stars (they worshipped),
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ

And said: "I am sick (of what you worship)!"
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
Fatawallaw 'anhu mudbireen
But they turned their backs on him and went away.

What is wrong with you that you do not speak?"
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

Then he started striking them down with his right hand.
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ
Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon
So the people descended upon him.
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

"Why do you worship these you carve yourselves," he asked,
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta'maloon
"When God has created you and what you make?"
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja 'alnaahumul asfaleen
So they contrived a plot against him, but We made them abject.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen
And he said: "I am going away to my Lord who will show me the way.

(And he prayed:) "O Lord, grant me a righteous son."
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ
Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem
So We gave him the good news of a clement son.
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

When he was old enough to go about with him, he said: "O my son, I dreamt that I was sacrificing you. Consider, what you think?" He replied: "Father, do as you are commanded. If God pleases you will find me firm."
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ
Falammaaa aslamaa wa tallahoo liljabeen
When they submitted to the will of God, and (Abraham) laid (his son) down prostrate on his temple,
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
Wa naadainaahu ai yaaaa Ibraheem
We called out: "O Abraham,
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Qad saddaqtar ru'yaa; innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
You have fulfilled your dream." Thus do We reward the good.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
Inna haazaa lahuwal balaaa'ul mubeen
That was indeed a trying test.

So We ransomed him for a great sacrifice,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyayam minas saaliheen
So We gave him the good news of Isaac, apostle, who is among the righteous.
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ
Wa baaraknaa 'alaihi wa 'alaaa Ishaaq; wa min zurriyya tihimaa muhsinunw wa zaalimul linafshihee mubeen

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon
We were indeed gracious to Moses and Aaron,

Wa najjainaahumaa wa qawmahumaa minal karbil 'azeem

And showed them the straight path,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen
And left (their remembrance) for posterity.
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Peace be on Moses and Aaron.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen
That is how We reward those who do good.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

They are among Our faithful devotees.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Verily Elias is one of the apostles.
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon
When he said to his people: "Will you not be mindful of God?
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ
Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen
Would you call on Baal and leave the best of creators,
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Allaaha Rabbakum wa Rabba aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
God, your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers?"
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Fakazzaboohu fa inna hum lamuhdaroon
They denied him, and will surely be brought to punishment,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except the chosen creatures of God.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen
And We left his (memory) for posterity.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen
He is truly among Our faithful devotees.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen
Verily Lot was one of the apostles,
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een
Wherefore We saved him and his entire family
إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen
Except an old woman who was one of those who stayed behind.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Summa dammarnal aakhareen
Then We destroyed the others.
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen
You pass by (their habitations) in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon
Or at night. Then how is it you do not understand?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen
Verily Jonah is one of the apostles.
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon
When he fled on the laden ship,
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen
And lots were cast (when a storm overtook them), he was rejected, (and thrown overboard).
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ
Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem
Then he was swallowed by a large fish as he was worthy of blame.
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen
Had he not been one of those who struggled hard,
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon
He would have stayed in its belly till the day the dead are raised.
۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ
Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem
So We cast him, sick, on a barren shore,
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ
Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen
And We made a gourd tree grow over him.
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon
We sent him to a hundred thousand men or more,
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen
And they came to believe; so We allowed them to enjoy the good things of life for an age.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon
Now ask them if their Lord has daughters, and they sons?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ
Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon
Or did We make the angels females, and they witnessed it?
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
Is it not a lie invented by them when they say:
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon
"God has begotten (children)?" They are liars indeed!
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati 'alal baneen
Does He prefer sons to daughters?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What ails you that you judge in such a wise?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Why do you not reflect?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Or have you received some clear authority?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Then bring your scripture, if what you say is true.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
They link Him with jinns by lineage, yet the jinns know they will be brought before Him.
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon
God is too glorious for what they ascribe to Him
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
Except His chosen creatures who do not.
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon
So neither you nor those you worship
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen
Can mislead anyone away from Him,
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
Except one who is (destined) to burn in Hell.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom
"There is not one of us who does not have his appointed place," (declare the angels.)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon
"And we are truly those who stand in rows,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
And we are those who sing hallelujas to Him."
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
They used to say:
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen
If we had the account of earlier people with us,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
We would have been the chosen creatures of God."
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon
Yet now (that it has come) they refuse to believe in it; but they will come to know soon.
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen
Our word had already been given before to Our votaries, the apostles, --
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
That they would be helped,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
And that certainly Our armies will be victorious.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen
So you ignore them for a time
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
And wait; they will come to know soon.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
Do they want to hasten Our punishment?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen
When it comes down on their plains, it will be an evil dawn for those who had been warned.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen
So turn away from them for a time
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
And watch; they will come to know soon.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon
Too glorious is your Lord, the Lord of power, for what they ascribe to Him.
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa salaamun 'alalmursaleen
So peace be on the messengers,
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Walhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen
And all praise to God, the Lord of all the worlds.
