سُورَةُ الصَّافَّاتِ

182 ayahs · In juz 23 (para)

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا 1

By the aligners aligning.

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا 2

And the drivers driving.

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا 3

And the reciters of the Reminder.

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ 4

Your God is indeed One.

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ 5

Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; and Lord of the Easts.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ 6

We have adorned the lower heaven with the beauty of the planets.

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ 7

And guarded it against every defiant devil.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ 8

They cannot eavesdrop on the Supernal Elite, for they get bombarded from every side.

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ 9

Repelled—they will have a lingering torment.

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ 10

Except for him who snatches a fragment—he gets pursued by a piercing projectile.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ 11

Inquire of them, “Are they more difficult to create, or the others We created?” We created them from sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ 12

But you wonder, and they ridicule.

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ 13

And when reminded, they pay no attention.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ 14

And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ 15

And they say, “This is nothing but plain magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ 16

When we have died and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ 17

And our ancestors of old?”

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ 18

Say, “Yes indeed, and you will be totally subdued.”

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ 19

It will be a single nudge, and they will be staring.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ 20

They will say, “Woe to us. This is the Day of Judgment.”

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ 21

“This is the Day of Separation which you used to deny.

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ 22

Gather those who did wrong, and their mates, and what they used to worship.

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 23

Besides God, and lead them to the way to Hell.

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ 24

And stop them. They are to be questioned.”

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ 25

What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another?

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ 26

In fact, on that Day, they will be submissive.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ 27

They will come to one another, questioning one another.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ 28

They will say, “You used to come at us from the right.”

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ 29

They will say, “You yourselves were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ 30

We had no authority over you. You yourselves were rebellious people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ 31

The Word of our Lord has been realized against us. We are tasting it.

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ 32

We seduced you. We were seducers.”

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ 33

On that Day, they will share in the punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ 34

Thus We deal with the sinners.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ 35

When it was said to them, “There is no god except God,” they grew arrogant.

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ 36

And said, “Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?”

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 37

In fact, he came with the truth, and he confirmed the messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ 38

Most assuredly, you will taste the painful punishment.

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ 39

And you will be repaid only for what you used to do.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 40

Except for God’s sincere servants.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ 41

For them is a known provision.

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ 42

Fruits; and they will be honored.

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ 43

In the Gardens of Bliss.

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ 44

On furnishings, facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ 45

They will be offered a cup of pure drink.

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ 46

White; a delight to those who drink.

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ 47

Never polluted, and never intoxicating.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ 48

With them will be bashful women with lovely eyes.

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ 49

As if they were closely guarded pearls.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ 50

Then they will approach one another, questioning.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ 51

One of them will say, “I used to have a friend.

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ 52

Who used to say, “Are you of those who believe?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ 53

That after we die and become dust and bones, we will be called to account?”

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ 54

He will say, “Will you have a look?”

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 55

He will look, and will see him in the pit of Hell.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ 56

He will say, “By God, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ 57

Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among the arraigned.”

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ 58

“We will not die.

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ 59

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished.”

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ 60

This is the supreme triumph.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ 61

For the like of this let the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ 62

Is this a better hospitality, or the Tree of Bitterness?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ 63

We made it an ordeal for the unjust.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 64

It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell.

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ 65

Its fruits are like the devils’ heads.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ 66

They will eat from it, and fill their bellies with it.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ 67

Then, on top of it, they will have a brew of boiling liquid.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ 68

Then their return will be to the Blaze.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ 69

They had found their parents astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ 70

And rushed along in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 71

And most of the ancients before them went astray.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ 72

Even though We sent messengers to warn them.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 73

So observe the end of those who were warned.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 74

Except for the sincere servants of God.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ 75

And Noah called out to Us, and We are the Best of responders.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 76

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

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ 77

And We made his descendants the survivors.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 78

And We left mention of him among those who succeeded.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 79

Peace be upon Noah among all people.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 80

We thus reward the righteous.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 81

He was one of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ 82

Then We drowned the others.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ 83

Of his kind was Abraham.

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ 84

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ 85

He said to his father and his people, “What are you worshiping?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ 86

Is it falsified gods, instead of God, that you want?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 87

So what is your opinion about the Lord of the Worlds?”

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ 88

Then he took a glance at the stars.

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ 89

And said, “I am sick.”

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ 90

But they turned their backs on him, and went away.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ 91

Then he turned to their gods, and said, “will you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ 92

What is it with you, that you do not speak?”

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ 93

Then he turned on them, striking with his right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ 94

And they came running towards him.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ 95

He said, “Do you worship what you carve?

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 96

When God created you, and what you manufacture?”

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ 97

They said, “Build a pyre for him, and throw him into the furnace.”

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ 98

They wished him ill, but We made them the losers.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ 99

He said, “I am going towards my Lord, and He will guide me.”

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 100

“My Lord, give me one of the righteous.”

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ 101

So We gave him good news of a clement boy.

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 102

Then, when he was old enough to accompany him, he said, “O My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you; see what you think.” He said, “O my Father, do as you are commanded; you will find me, God willing, one of the steadfast.”

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ 103

Then, when they had submitted, and he put his forehead down.

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ 104

We called out to him, “O Abraham!

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 105

You have fulfilled the vision.” Thus We reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ 106

This was certainly an evident test.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ 107

And We redeemed him with a great sacrifice.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 108

And We left with him for later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ 109

Peace be upon Abraham.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 110

Thus We reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 111

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 112

And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet, one of the righteous.

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ 113

And We blessed him, and Isaac. But among their descendants are some who are righteous, and some who are clearly unjust to themselves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ 114

And We blessed Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ 115

And We delivered them and their people from the terrible disaster.

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ 116

And We supported them, and so they were the victors.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ 117

And We gave them the Clarifying Scripture.

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ 118

And We guided them upon the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 119

And We left with them for later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ 120

Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 121

Thus We reward the righteous.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 122

They were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 123

Also Elijah was one of the messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 124

He said to his people, “Do you not fear?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ 125

Do you call on Baal, and forsake the Best of creators?

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 126

God is your Lord, and the Lord of your ancestors.”

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ 127

But they called him a liar, and thus they will be brought forward.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 128

Except for God’s sincere servants.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ 129

And We left with him for later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ 130

Peace be upon the House of Elijah.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 131

Thus We reward the virtuous.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 132

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 133

And Lot was one of the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ 134

We saved him and his family, all of them.

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ 135

Except for an old woman who lagged behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ 136

Then We annihilated the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ 137

You pass by them in the morning.

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ 138

And at night. Do you not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 139

And Jonah was one of the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ 140

When he fled to the laden boat.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ 141

He gambled and lost.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ 142

Then the fish swallowed him, and he was to blame.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ 143

Had he not been one of those who praised.

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ 144

He would have stayed in its belly until the Day they are raised.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ 145

Then We threw him into the wilderness, and he was sick.

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ 146

And We made a gourd tree grow over him.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ 147

Then We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ 148

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ 149

Ask them, “Are the daughters for your Lord, while for them the sons?”

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ 150

Or did We create the angels females, as they witnessed?”

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ 151

No indeed! It is one of their lies when they say.

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ 152

“God has begotten.” They are indeed lying.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ 153

So He preferred girls over boys?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ 154

What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ 155

Will you not reflect?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ 156

Or do you have some clear proof?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ 157

Then bring your book, if you are telling the truth.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ 158

And they invented a relationship between Him and the jinn. But the jinn know that they will be arraigned.

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 159

God be glorified, far above what they allege.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 160

Except for God’s sincere servants.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ 161

Surely, you and what you serve.

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ 162

Cannot seduce away from Him.

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 163

Except for he who will be roasting in Hell.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ 164

“There is not one of us but has an assigned position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ 165

And we are the arrangers.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ 166

And we are the glorifiers.”

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ 167

Even though they used to say.

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 168

“Had we received advice from the ancients.

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 169

We would have been God's faithful servants.”

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ 170

But they rejected it, so they will find out.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 171

Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers.

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ 172

It is they who will be supported.

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ 173

And Our troops will be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ 174

So disregard them for a while.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 175

And watch them—they will soon see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 176

Are they seeking to hasten Our punishment?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 177

When it descends into their yard, miserable will be the morning of those forewarned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ 178

So avoid them for a while.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 179

And watch—they will soon see.

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 180

Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, beyond their allegations.

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 181

And peace be upon the messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 182

And praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
