As-Saffat

وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا

wal-ṣāfāti ṣaffan

By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا

fal-zājirāti zajran

And those who drive [the clouds]

فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا

fal-tāliyāti dhik'ran

And those who recite the message,

إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ

inna ilāhakum lawāḥidun

Indeed, your God is One,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ

rabbu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā warabbu l-mashāriqi

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ

innā zayyannā l-samāa l-dun'yā bizīnatin l-kawākibi

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ

waḥif'ẓan min kulli shayṭānin māridin

And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

lā yassammaʿūna ilā l-mala-i l-aʿlā wayuq'dhafūna min kulli jānibin

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

duḥūran walahum ʿadhābun wāṣibun

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

illā man khaṭifa l-khaṭfata fa-atbaʿahu shihābun thāqibun

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ

fa-is'taftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnā innā khalaqnāhum min ṭīnin lāzibin

Then inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created them [i.e., men] from sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

bal ʿajib'ta wayaskharūna

But you wonder, while they mock,

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

wa-idhā dhukkirū lā yadhkurūna

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

wa-idhā ra-aw āyatan yastaskhirūna

And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

waqālū in hādhā illā siḥ'run mubīnun

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

a-idhā mit'nā wakunnā turāban waʿiẓāman a-innā lamabʿūthūna

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

awaābāunā l-awalūna

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

qul naʿam wa-antum dākhirūna

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

fa-innamā hiya zajratun wāḥidatun fa-idhā hum yanẓurūna

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

waqālū yāwaylanā hādhā yawmu l-dīni

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

hādhā yawmu l-faṣli alladhī kuntum bihi tukadhibūna

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

uḥ'shurū alladhīna ẓalamū wa-azwājahum wamā kānū yaʿbudūna

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

min dūni l-lahi fa-ih'dūhum ilā ṣirāṭi l-jaḥīmi

Other than Allāh, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ

waqifūhum innahum masūlūna

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

mā lakum lā tanāṣarūna

[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

bal humu l-yawma mus'taslimūna

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

wa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatasāalūna

And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

qālū innakum kuntum tatūnanā ʿani l-yamīni

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

qālū bal lam takūnū mu'minīna

They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ

wamā kāna lanā ʿalaykum min sul'ṭānin bal kuntum qawman ṭāghīna

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

faḥaqqa ʿalaynā qawlu rabbinā innā ladhāiqūna

So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ

fa-aghwaynākum innā kunnā ghāwīna

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

fa-innahum yawma-idhin fī l-ʿadhābi mush'tarikūna

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

innā kadhālika nafʿalu bil-muj'rimīna

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

innahum kānū idhā qīla lahum lā ilāha illā l-lahu yastakbirūna

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ

wayaqūlūna a-innā latārikū ālihatinā lishāʿirin majnūnin

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

bal jāa bil-ḥaqi waṣaddaqa l-mur'salīna

Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ

innakum ladhāiqū l-ʿadhābi l-alīmi

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

wamā tuj'zawna illā mā kuntum taʿmalūna

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

ulāika lahum riz'qun maʿlūmun

Those will have a provision determined -

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ

fawākihu wahum muk'ramūna

Fruits; and they will be honored

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

fī jannāti l-naʿīmi

In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

ʿalā sururin mutaqābilīna

On thrones facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ

yuṭāfu ʿalayhim bikasin min maʿīnin

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ

bayḍāa ladhatin lilshāribīna

White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ

lā fīhā ghawlun walā hum ʿanhā yunzafūna

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ

waʿindahum qāṣirātu l-ṭarfi ʿīnun

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ

ka-annahunna bayḍun maknūnun

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

fa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatasāalūna

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ

qāla qāilun min'hum innī kāna lī qarīnun

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ

yaqūlu a-innaka lamina l-muṣadiqīna

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

a-idhā mit'nā wakunnā turāban waʿiẓāman a-innā lamadīnūna

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

qāla hal antum muṭṭaliʿūna

He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

fa-iṭṭalaʿa faraāhu fī sawāi l-jaḥīmi

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ

qāla tal-lahi in kidtta latur'dīni

He will say, "By Allāh, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

walawlā niʿ'matu rabbī lakuntu mina l-muḥ'ḍarīna

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

afamā naḥnu bimayyitīna

Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

illā mawtatanā l-ūlā wamā naḥnu bimuʿadhabīna

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

inna hādhā lahuwa l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīmu

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ

limith'li hādhā falyaʿmali l-ʿāmilūna

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

adhālika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu l-zaqūmi

Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

innā jaʿalnāhā fit'natan lilẓẓālimīna

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

innahā shajaratun takhruju fī aṣli l-jaḥīmi

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ

ṭalʿuhā ka-annahu ruūsu l-shayāṭīni

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

fa-innahum laākilūna min'hā famāliūna min'hā l-buṭūna

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

thumma inna lahum ʿalayhā lashawban min ḥamīmin

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

thumma inna marjiʿahum la-ilā l-jaḥīmi

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ

innahum alfaw ābāahum ḍāllīna

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

fahum ʿalā āthārihim yuh'raʿūna

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

walaqad ḍalla qablahum aktharu l-awalīna

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

walaqad arsalnā fīhim mundhirīna

And We had already sent among them warners.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

fa-unẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatu l-mundharīna

Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ

walaqad nādānā nūḥun falaniʿ'ma l-mujībūna

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wanajjaynāhu wa-ahlahu mina l-karbi l-ʿaẓīmi

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

wajaʿalnā dhurriyyatahu humu l-bāqīna

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīna

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

salāmun ʿalā nūḥin fī l-ʿālamīna

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

thumma aghraqnā l-ākharīna

Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ

wa-inna min shīʿatihi la-ib'rāhīma

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

idh jāa rabbahu biqalbin salīmin

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

idh qāla li-abīhi waqawmihi mādhā taʿbudūna

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

a-if'kan ālihatan dūna l-lahi turīdūna

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

famā ẓannukum birabbi l-ʿālamīna

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

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ

fanaẓara naẓratan fī l-nujūmi

And he cast a look at the stars.

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ

faqāla innī saqīmun

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

fatawallaw ʿanhu mud'birīna

So they turned away from him, departing.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

farāgha ilā ālihatihim faqāla alā takulūna

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

mā lakum lā tanṭiqūna

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?".

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

farāgha ʿalayhim ḍarban bil-yamīni

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

fa-aqbalū ilayhi yaziffūna

Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

qāla ataʿbudūna mā tanḥitūna

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

wal-lahu khalaqakum wamā taʿmalūna

While Allāh created you and that which you do?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

qālū ib'nū lahu bun'yānan fa-alqūhu fī l-jaḥīmi

They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ

fa-arādū bihi kaydan fajaʿalnāhumu l-asfalīna

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

waqāla innī dhāhibun ilā rabbī sayahdīni

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

rabbi hab lī mina l-ṣāliḥīna

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ

fabasharnāhu bighulāmin ḥalīmin

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

falammā balagha maʿahu l-saʿya qāla yābunayya innī arā fī l-manāmi annī adhbaḥuka fa-unẓur mādhā tarā qāla yāabati if'ʿal mā tu'maru satajidunī in shāa l-lahu mina l-ṣābirīna

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 what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

falammā aslamā watallahu lil'jabīni

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

wanādaynāhu an yāib'rāhīmu

We called to him, "O Abraham,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

qad ṣaddaqta l-ru'yā innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ

inna hādhā lahuwa l-balāu l-mubīnu

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

wafadaynāhu bidhib'ḥin ʿaẓīmin

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīna

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

salāmun ʿalā ib'rāhīma

"Peace upon Abraham."

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

wabasharnāhu bi-is'ḥāqa nabiyyan mina l-ṣāliḥīna

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ

wabāraknā ʿalayhi waʿalā is'ḥāqa wamin dhurriyyatihimā muḥ'sinun waẓālimun linafsihi mubīnun

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

walaqad manannā ʿalā mūsā wahārūna

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wanajjaynāhumā waqawmahumā mina l-karbi l-ʿaẓīmi

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

wanaṣarnāhum fakānū humu l-ghālibīna

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ

waātaynāhumā l-kitāba l-mus'tabīna

And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ

wahadaynāhumā l-ṣirāṭa l-mus'taqīma

And We guided them on the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

wataraknā ʿalayhimā fī l-ākhirīna

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

salāmun ʿalā mūsā wahārūna

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

innahumā min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

wa-inna il'yāsa lamina l-mur'salīna

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

idh qāla liqawmihi alā tattaqūna

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allāh?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ

atadʿūna baʿlan watadharūna aḥsana l-khāliqīna

Do you call upon Baʿl and leave the best of creators -

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

al-laha rabbakum warabba ābāikumu l-awalīna

Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

fakadhabūhu fa-innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūna

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

wataraknā ʿalayhi fī l-ākhirīna

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

salāmun ʿalā il yāsīna

"Peace upon Elias."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīna

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

wa-inna lūṭan lamina l-mur'salīna

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

idh najjaynāhu wa-ahlahu ajmaʿīna

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

illā ʿajūzan fī l-ghābirīna

Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

thumma dammarnā l-ākharīna

Then We destroyed the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ

wa-innakum latamurrūna ʿalayhim muṣ'biḥīna

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

wabi-al-layli afalā taʿqilūna

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

wa-inna yūnusa lamina l-mur'salīna

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

idh abaqa ilā l-ful'ki l-mashḥūni

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ

fasāhama fakāna mina l-mud'ḥaḍīna

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

fal-taqamahu l-ḥūtu wahuwa mulīmun

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ

falawlā annahu kāna mina l-musabiḥīna

And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

lalabitha fī baṭnihi ilā yawmi yub'ʿathūna

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ

fanabadhnāhu bil-ʿarāi wahuwa saqīmun

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ

wa-anbatnā ʿalayhi shajaratan min yaqṭīnin

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

wa-arsalnāhu ilā mi-ati alfin aw yazīdūna

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

faāmanū famattaʿnāhum ilā ḥīnin

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

fa-is'taftihim alirabbika l-banātu walahumu l-banūna

So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ

am khalaqnā l-malāikata ināthan wahum shāhidūna

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

alā innahum min if'kihim layaqūlūna

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

walada l-lahu wa-innahum lakādhibūna

"Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ

aṣṭafā l-banāti ʿalā l-banīna

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūna

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

afalā tadhakkarūna

Then will you not be reminded?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ

am lakum sul'ṭānun mubīnun

Or do you have a clear authority?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

fatū bikitābikum in kuntum ṣādiqīna

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

wajaʿalū baynahu wabayna l-jinati nasaban walaqad ʿalimati l-jinatu innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūna

And they have made [i.e., 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].

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

sub'ḥāna l-lahi ʿammā yaṣifūna

Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

illā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

fa-innakum wamā taʿbudūna

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ

mā antum ʿalayhi bifātinīna

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

illā man huwa ṣāli l-jaḥīmi

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

wamā minnā illā lahu maqāmun maʿlūmun

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-ṣāfūna

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-musabiḥūna

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ

wa-in kānū layaqūlūna

And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

law anna ʿindanā dhik'ran mina l-awalīna

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

lakunnā ʿibāda l-lahi l-mukh'laṣīna

We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

fakafarū bihi fasawfa yaʿlamūna

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

walaqad sabaqat kalimatunā liʿibādinā l-mur'salīna

And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ

innahum lahumu l-manṣūrūna

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

wa-inna jundanā lahumu l-ghālibūna

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

fatawalla ʿanhum ḥattā ḥīnin

So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

wa-abṣir'hum fasawfa yub'ṣirūna

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

afabiʿadhābinā yastaʿjilūna

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

fa-idhā nazala bisāḥatihim fasāa ṣabāḥu l-mundharīna

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

watawalla ʿanhum ḥattā ḥīnin

And leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

wa-abṣir fasawfa yub'ṣirūna

And see, for they are going to see.

سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

sub'ḥāna rabbika rabbi l-ʿizati ʿammā yaṣifūna

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

wasalāmun ʿalā l-mur'salīna

And peace upon the messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

wal-ḥamdu lillahi rabbi l-ʿālamīna

And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
