Surah 37 - Those who set the Ranks (As-Saffat)
وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا
By those angels lined up in ranks،
— Transliteration
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا
and those who diligently drive the clouds،
— Transliteration
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
and those who recite the Reminder
— Transliteration
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ
Surely your God is One
— Transliteration
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between، and the Lord of all points of sunrise
— Transliteration
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
Indeed، We have adorned the lowest heaven with the stars for decoration
— Transliteration
وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ
and for protection from every rebellious devil
— Transliteration
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ
They cannot listen to the highest assembly of angels for they are pelted from every side،
— Transliteration
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ
fiercely driven away And they will suffer an everlasting torment
— Transliteration
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ
But whoever manages to stealthily eavesdrop is instantly pursued by a piercing flare
— Transliteration
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ
So ask them O Prophet، which is harder to create: them or other marvels of Our creation?
— Transliteration
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
In fact، you are astonished by their denial، while they ridicule you
— Transliteration
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
When they are reminded، they are never mindful
— Transliteration
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
And whenever they see a sign، they make fun of it،
— Transliteration
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ
saying، "This is nothing but pure magic
— Transliteration
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones، will we really be resurrected?
— Transliteration
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
And our forefathers as well?"
— Transliteration
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
Say، "Yes And you will be fully humbled"
— Transliteration
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
It will only take one Blast، then at once they will see it all
— Transliteration
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
They will cry، "Oh، woe to us This is the Day of Judgment"
— Transliteration
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
They will be told، "This is the Day of Final Decision which you used to deny"
— Transliteration
۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ
Allah will say to the angels، "Gather all the wrongdoers along with their peers، and whatever they used to worship
— Transliteration
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
instead of Allah، then lead them all to the path of Hell
— Transliteration
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
And detain them، for they must be questioned"
— Transliteration
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Then they will be asked، "What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?"
— Transliteration
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
In fact، on that Day they will be fully submissive
— Transliteration
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
They will turn on each other، throwing blame
— Transliteration
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
The misled will say، "It was you who deluded us away from what is right"
— Transliteration
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
The misleaders will reply، "No You disbelieved on your own
— Transliteration
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ
We had no authority over you In fact، you yourselves were a transgressing people
— Transliteration
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
The decree of our Lord has come to pass against us all: we will certainly taste the punishment
— Transliteration
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
We caused you to deviate، for we ourselves were deviant"
— Transliteration
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Surely on that Day they will all share in the punishment
— Transliteration
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
That is certainly how We deal with the wicked
— Transliteration
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
For whenever it was said to them in the world، "There is no god worthy of worship except Allah،" they acted arrogantly
— Transliteration
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
and argued، "Should we really abandon our gods for a mad poet?"
— Transliteration
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
In fact، he came with the truth، confirming earlier messengers
— Transliteration
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ
You will certainly taste the painful torment،
— Transliteration
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
and will only be rewarded for what you used to do
— Transliteration
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah
— Transliteration
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
They will have a known provision:
— Transliteration
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ
fruits of every type And they will be honoured
— Transliteration
فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
in the Gardens of Bliss،
— Transliteration
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
facing each other on thrones
— Transliteration
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ
A drink of pure wine will be passed around to them from a flowing stream:
— Transliteration
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ
crystal-white، delicious to drink
— Transliteration
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ
It will neither harm them، nor will they be intoxicated by it
— Transliteration
وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ
And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and gorgeous eyes،
— Transliteration
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ
as if they were pristine pearls
— Transliteration
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Then they will turn to one another inquisitively
— Transliteration
قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ
One of them will say، "I once had a companion in the world
— Transliteration
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
who used to ask me، \'Do you actually believe in resurrection?
— Transliteration
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones، will we really be brought to judgment?\'"
— Transliteration
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
He will then ask، "Would you care to see his fate?"
— Transliteration
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Then he and the others will look and spot him in the midst of the Hellfire
— Transliteration
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ
He will then say، "By Allah You nearly ruined me
— Transliteration
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
Had it not been for the grace of my Lord، I too would have certainly been among those brought to Hell"
— Transliteration
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Then he will ask his fellow believers، "Can you imagine that we will never die،
— Transliteration
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
except our first death، nor be punished like the others?"
— Transliteration
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
This is truly the ultimate triumph
— Transliteration
لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ
For such honour all should strive
— Transliteration
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Is this bliss a better accommodation or the tree of Zaqqûm?
— Transliteration
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ
We have surely made it a test for the wrongdoers
— Transliteration
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Indeed، it is a tree that grows in the depths of Hell،
— Transliteration
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
bearing fruit like devils\' heads
— Transliteration
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
The evildoers will certainly be left to eat from it، filling up their bellies with it
— Transliteration
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ
Then on top of that they will be given a blend of boiling drink
— Transliteration
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Then they will ultimately return to their place in Hell
— Transliteration
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ
Indeed، they found their forefathers astray،
— Transliteration
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ
so they rushed in their footsteps
— Transliteration
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And surely most of the earlier generations had strayed before them،
— Transliteration
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
although We had certainly sent warners among them
— Transliteration
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
See then what was the end of those who had been warned
— Transliteration
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah
— Transliteration
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ
Indeed، Noah cried out to Us، and how excellent are We in responding
— Transliteration
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
We delivered him and his family from the great distress،
— Transliteration
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ
and made his descendants the sole survivors
— Transliteration
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
And We blessed him with honourable mention among later generations:
— Transliteration
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
"Peace be upon Noah among all peoples"
— Transliteration
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Indeed، this is how We reward the good-doers
— Transliteration
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
For he was truly one of Our faithful servants
— Transliteration
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Then We drowned the others
— Transliteration
۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ
And indeed، one of those who followed his way was Abraham
— Transliteration
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ
Remember when he came to his Lord with a pure heart،
— Transliteration
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ
and said to his father and his people، "What are you worshipping?
— Transliteration
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
Is it false gods that you desire instead of Allah?
— Transliteration
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
What then do you expect from the Lord of all worlds?"
— Transliteration
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ
He later looked up to the stars in contemplation،
— Transliteration
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ
then said، "I am really sick"
— Transliteration
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
So they turned their backs on him and went away
— Transliteration
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
Then he stealthily advanced towards their gods، and said mockingly، "Will you not eat your offerings?
— Transliteration
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ
What is wrong with you that you cannot speak?"
— Transliteration
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ
Then he swiftly turned on them، striking them with his right hand
— Transliteration
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ
Later، his people came rushing towards him furiously
— Transliteration
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ
He argued، "How can you worship what you carve with your own hands،
— Transliteration
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
when it is Allah Who created you and whatever you do?"
— Transliteration
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
They said to one another، "Build him a furnace and cast him into the blazing fire"
— Transliteration
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ
And so they sought to harm him، but We made them inferior
— Transliteration
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
He later said، "I am leaving in obedience to my Lord He will guide me
— Transliteration
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
My Lord Bless me with righteous offspring"
— Transliteration
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ
So We gave him good news of a forbearing son
— Transliteration
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
Then when the boy reached the age to work with him، Abraham said، "O my dear son I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice you So tell me what you think" He replied، "O my dear father Do as you are commanded Allah willing، you will find me steadfast"
— Transliteration
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ
Then when they submitted to Allah\'s Will، and Abraham laid him on the side of his forehead for sacrifice،
— Transliteration
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
We called out to him، "O Abraham
— Transliteration
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
You have already fulfilled the vision" Indeed، this is how We reward the good-doers
— Transliteration
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
That was truly a revealing test
— Transliteration
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice،
— Transliteration
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
and blessed Abraham with honourable mention among later generations:
— Transliteration
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
"Peace be upon Abraham"
— Transliteration
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
This is how We reward the good-doers
— Transliteration
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He was truly one of Our faithful servants
— Transliteration
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
We later gave him good news of Isaaca prophet، and one of the righteous
— Transliteration
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ
We blessed him and Isaac as well Some of their descendants did good، while others clearly wronged themselves
— Transliteration
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
And We certainly showed favour to Moses and Aaron،
— Transliteration
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
and delivered them and their people from the great distress
— Transliteration
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
We helped them so it was they who prevailed
— Transliteration
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
We gave them the clear Scripture،
— Transliteration
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
and guided them to the Straight Path
— Transliteration
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
And We blessed them with honourable mention among later generations:
— Transliteration
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
"Peace be upon Moses and Aaron"
— Transliteration
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Indeed، this is how We reward the good-doers
— Transliteration
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
They were truly two of Our faithful servants
— Transliteration
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And Elias was indeed one of the messengers
— Transliteration
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Remember when he said to his people، "Will you not fear Allah?
— Transliteration
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ
Do you call upon the idol of Ba\'l and abandon the Best of Creators
— Transliteration
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Allah، your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
— Transliteration
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
But they rejected him، so they will certainly be brought for punishment
— Transliteration
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah
— Transliteration
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
We blessed him with honourable mention among later generations:
— Transliteration
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
"Peace be upon Elias"
— Transliteration
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Indeed، this is how We reward the good-doers
— Transliteration
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He was truly one of Our faithful servants
— Transliteration
وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And Lot was indeed one of the messengers
— Transliteration
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Remember when We delivered him and all of his family،
— Transliteration
إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
except an old woman، who was one of the doomed
— Transliteration
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Then We utterly destroyed the rest
— Transliteration
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
You Meccans certainly pass by their ruins day
— Transliteration
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
and night Will you not then understand?
— Transliteration
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And Jonah was indeed one of the messengers
— Transliteration
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Remember when he fled to the overloaded ship
— Transliteration
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Then to save it from sinking، he drew straws with other passengers He lost and was thrown overboard
— Transliteration
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ
Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy
— Transliteration
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Had he not constantly glorified Allah،
— Transliteration
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
he would have certainly remained in its belly until the Day of Resurrection
— Transliteration
۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ
But We cast him onto the open shore، totally worn out،
— Transliteration
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ

We later sent him back to his city of at least one hundred thousand people،
— Transliteration
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ

"Allah has children" They are simply liars

— Transliteration
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
— Transliteration
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Will you not then be mindful?
— Transliteration
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Or do you have any compelling proof?
— Transliteration
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Then bring us your scripture، if what you say is true
— Transliteration

— Transliteration
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
And we are indeed the ones constantly glorifying His praise"
— Transliteration
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
They certainly used to say،
— Transliteration
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
"If only we had a Reminder like those of earlier peoples،
— Transliteration
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
we would have truly been Allah\'s devoted servants"
— Transliteration
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
But now they reject it، so they will soon know
— Transliteration
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

— Transliteration
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Do they really wish to hasten Our punishment?
