سُورَةُ الصَّافَّاتِ

English — Saheeh International

By those [angels] lined up in rows

English — Saheeh International

And those who drive [the clouds]

English — Saheeh International

And those who recite the message,

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, your God is One,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And as protection against every rebellious devil

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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.

English — Saheeh International

But you wonder, while they mock,

English — Saheeh International

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

English — Saheeh International

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

English — Saheeh International

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And our forefathers [as well]?"

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

English — Saheeh International

And they will approach one another blaming each other.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

English — Saheeh International

Those will have a provision determined -

English — Saheeh International

Fruits; and they will be honored

English — Saheeh International

In gardens of pleasure

English — Saheeh International

On thrones facing one another.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

White and delicious to the drinkers;

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Then, are we not to die

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

English — Saheeh International

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And We had already sent among them warners.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

English — Saheeh International

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

English — Saheeh International

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And he cast a look at the stars

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

So they turned away from him, departing.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

English — Saheeh International

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

English — Saheeh International

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

English — Saheeh International

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 Allah wills, of the steadfast."

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

We called to him, "O Abraham,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

English — Saheeh International

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

"Peace upon Abraham."

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.

English — Saheeh International

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

English — Saheeh International

And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

English — Saheeh International

And We guided them on the straight path.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Except the chosen servants of Allah.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

"Peace upon Elias."

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].

English — Saheeh International

Then We destroyed the others.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

English — Saheeh International

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

English — Saheeh International

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

English — Saheeh International

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Then will you not be reminded?

English — Saheeh International

Or do you have a clear authority?

English — Saheeh International

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

English — Saheeh International

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].

English — Saheeh International

Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

English — Saheeh International

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

English — Saheeh International

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And leave them for a time.

English — Saheeh International

And see, for they are going to see.

English — Saheeh International

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

English — Saheeh International

And peace upon the messengers.

English — Saheeh International

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
