- Dialogue between the followers and the leaders who mislead them. 37 AS-SAFFAT - IN RANKS In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. By those who range themselves in ranks[1]
|
|
2. * |
and by those who cast out demons,[2]
|
|
3. * |
and by those who proclaim the message [3]
|
|
4. * |
: surely your God is One,[4]
|
|
5. * |
the Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that lies between them, and the Lord of the easts.[5]
|
|
6. * |
We have indeed decked the worldly heaven with beautiful stars[6]
|
|
7. * |
and have secured it against all obstinate rebellious Satans.[7]
|
|
8. * |
They cannot even hear the words of the exalted assembly of angels and they are darted at from every side[8]
|
|
9. * |
they are repulsed and are under a constant chastisement.[9]
|
|
10. * |
Eavesdroppers are persuaded by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.[10]
|
|
11. * |
Ask them: "What is more difficult - their creation or the rest of Our creation? - Them We have created out of a sticky clay.[11]
|
|
12. * |
You marvel at the wonders of Allah’s creation, while they ridicule at it.[12]
|
|
13. * |
When they are admonished, they pay no heed,[13]
|
|
14. * |
and when they see a sign, they mock at it[14]
|
|
15. * |
and say: "This is nothing but plain sorcery.[15]
|
|
16. * |
What! When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be raised to life again[16]
|
|
17. * |
- we and also our forefathers of the ancient time?"[17]
|
|
18. * |
Tell them: "Yes and you shall be held up to shame."[18]
|
|
19. * |
It will be just a single cry, and they will see it all with their own eyes.[19]
|
|
20. * |
Ah, woe to us! They shall exclaim, "this is the Day of Judgement!"[20]
|
|
21. * |
It will be said: "Yes, this is the same Day of Judgement which you used to deny."[21]
|
|
22. * |
It will be commanded: "Gather all the wrongdoers, their spouses and those whom they used to worship[22]
|
|
23. * |
besides Allah and show them the way to hell.[23]
|
|
24. * |
When they will all be gathered and angels will start pushing them towards hell, Allah shall say: "Stop for a while, they have to be questioned:[24]
|
|
25. * |
What is the matter with you today that you do not help each other?[25]
|
|
26. * |
Nay! On that Day they shall all be submissive.[26]
|
|
27. * |
Some of them will step forward to question one another.[27]
|
|
28. * |
The followers will say to their leaders: "It was you who used to come at us from the right hand and forced us towards the wrong way."[28]
|
|
29. * |
They will reply: "Nay! But it was you who had no faith.[29]
|
|
30. * |
We had no power over you, the fact is that you were an inordinate people;[30]
|
|
31. * |
true is the verdict which Our Lord has passed upon us, we shall indeed taste the punishment of our sins:[31]
|
|
32. * |
We misled you, for we ourselves were astray."[32]
|
|
33. * |
So on that Day they shall all be partners in the punishment.[33]
|
|
34. * |
Thus, shall We deal with the criminals;[34]
|
|
35. * |
for when they were told: "There is no god except Allah," they used to puff themselves up with pride[35]
|
|
36. * |
and say: "What! Should we give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?"[36]
|
|
37. * |
Whereas he had come with the truth and had confirmed the message of prior Messengers.[36]
|
|
38. * |
Then it will be said: "You are surely going to taste the painful punishment:[38]
|
|
39. * |
and this reward is nothing except what you had done.[39]
|
|
40. * |
But the sincere devotees of Allah[40]
|
|
41. * |
shall have familiar sustenance[41]
|
|
42. * |
- fruits, and shall be honored[42]
|
|
43. * |
in the gardens of delight.[43]
|
|
44. * |
Reclining face to face upon soft couches,[44]
|
|
45. * |
they shall be served with goblets filled at a fountain of wine,[45]
|
|
46. * |
a crystal-white drink, delicious to those who drink it.[46]
|
|
47. * |
It will neither dull their senses nor they will become drunk.[47]
|
|
48. * |
And beside them there will be bashful, dark big beautiful-eyed virgins,[48]
|
|
49. * |
as if they were delicate eggs closely guarded.[49]
|
|
50. * |
Some of them will be asking questions to others.[50]
|
|
51. * |
One of them will say: "I had a friend[51]
|
|
52. * |
who used to ask: ‘Are you really of those who affirm (the message of Islam)?[52]
|
|
53. * |
When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we ever be brought to judgement?’"[53]
|
|
54. * |
It will be said: "Would you like to see him?"[54]
|
|
55. * |
He will look down and see his friend in the midst of hellfire.[55]
|
|
56. * |
Then he will say: "By Allah! You had almost ruined me.[56]
|
|
57. * |
Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those who are brought there.[57]
|
|
58. * |
Is it not so that we shall not die[58]
|
|
59. * |
after our first death and that we shall not be chastised?"[59]
|
|
60. * |
Most surely it is a mighty achievement.[60]
|
|
61. * |
For such an end, let every one strive who wishes to strive.[61]
|
|
62. * |
Is this a better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?[62]
|
|
63. * |
Surely We have made this tree a trial for the wrongdoers.[63]
|
|
64. * |
Surely it is a tree that grows in the bottom of the hellfire,[64]
|
|
65. * |
bearing fruits as if they were heads of Satans,[65]
|
|
66. * |
on it they shall feed and with it they shall fill their bellies.[66]
|
|
67. * |
Then on top of that, they will be given a concoction made from boiling water.[67]
|
|
68. * |
Then to hellfire they shall be returned.[68]
|
|
69. * |
In fact, they found their fathers on the wrong path,[69]
|
|
70. * |
and they are eagerly following their footsteps.[70]
|
|
71. * |
Most of the ancients went astray before them,[71]
|
|
72. * |
though We had sent Warners to them.[72]
|
|
73. * |
See what was the end of those who had been forewarned: they all perished,[73]
|
|
74. * |
except the sincere devotees of Allah.[74]
|
|
75. * |
Noah prayed to Us; see how excellent was Our response to his prayer![75]
|
|
76. * |
We delivered him and his people from the mighty distress,[76]
|
|
77. * |
and made his progeny to be the only survivors,[77]
|
|
78. * |
and We left his good name among the later generations.[78]
|
|
79. * |
SaLotation to Noah among the people of the worlds.[79]
|
|
80. * |
Thus do We reward the righteous.[80]
|
|
81. * |
Surely he was one of Our believing devotees.[81]
|
|
82. * |
Then the rest We drowned in the great flood.[82]
|
|
83. * |
Surely Abraham belonged to the first group,[83]
|
|
84. * |
when he came to his Lord with a pure heart.[84]
|
|
85. * |
Behold, he said to his father and to his people: "What are these that you worship?[85]
|
|
86. * |
Would you serve false gods instead of Allah?[86]
|
|
87. * |
What is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"[87]
|
|
88. * |
Then he looked at the stars one time[88]
|
|
89. * |
and said "I am feeling sick."[89]
|
|
90. * |
So his people left him behind and went away to their national fair.[90]
|
|
91. * |
He sneaked into the temple of their gods and addressed them: "Why don’t you eat from these offerings before you?[91]
|
|
92. * |
What is the matter with you that you don’t even speak?"[92]
|
|
93. * |
Then he fell upon them, smiting them with his right hand.[93]
|
|
94. * |
The people came running to the scene.[94]
|
|
95. * |
Would you worship that which you have carved with your own hands, he said,[95]
|
|
96. * |
when Allah is the One Who created you and that which you have made?[96]
|
|
97. * |
They said to one another: "Prepare for him a furnace and throw him into the blazing flames."[97]
|
|
98. * |
Thus did they scheme against him: but We humiliated them in their scheme.[98]
|
|
99. * |
Abraham said: "I am going to take refuge with my Lord, He will surely guide me.[99]
|
|
100. * |
O Lord! Grant me a righteous son."[100]
|
|
101. * |
So We gave him the good news of a gentle son.[101]
|
|
102. * |
When he reached the age to work with him, Abraham said to him: "O my son! I have seen a vision that I should offer you as a sacrifice, now tell me what is your view." He replied: "O my father! Do as you are commanded: you will find me, if Allah so wills, of the patient."[102]
|
|
103. * |
And when they both submitted to Allah and Abraham laid down his son prostrate upon his forehead for sacrifice;[103]
|
|
104. * |
We called out to him: "O Abraham stop![104]
|
|
105. * |
You have fulfilled your vision." Thus do We reward the righteous.[105]
|
|
106. * |
That was indeed a manifest test.[106]
|
|
107. * |
We ransomed his son for a great sacrifice[107]
|
|
108. * |
and We left his good name among the later generations.[108]
|
|
109. * |
SaLotation to Abraham.[109]
|
|
110. * |
Thus We reward the righteous.[110]
|
|
111. * |
Surely he was one of Our believing devotees.[111]
|
|
112. * |
We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet - one of the righteous.[112]
|
|
113. * |
We blessed him and Isaac both. Among their progeny there are some who are righteous and some who are clearly doing wrong to their own souls.[113]
|
|
114. * |
We bestowed Our favor on Moses and Haroon.[114]
|
|
115. * |
We delivered them with all their people from the mighty distress.[115]
|
|
116. * |
We helped them so they became victorious.[116]
|
|
117. * |
We gave them the Glorious Book (Torah),[117]
|
|
118. * |
and guided them both to the Right Way.[118]
|
|
119. * |
We left their good names among the later generations.[119]
|
|
120. * |
SaLotation to Moses and Haroon.[120]
|
|
121. * |
Thus do We reward the righteous.[121]
|
|
122. * |
Surely they were two of Our believing devotees.[122]
|
|
123. * |
Ilyas (Elias) was surely one of Our Messengers.[123]
|
|
124. * |
Behold, he said to his people: "Have you no fear of Allah?[124]
|
|
125. * |
Would you invoke Bal (their invented god) and forsake the best of the Creators[125]
|
|
126. * |
- Allah - Who is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"[126]
|
|
127. * |
But they denied him, so they will certainly be called to account,[127]
|
|
128. * |
with the exception of sincere devotees of Allah.[128]
|
|
129. * |
We left his good name among the later generations.[129]
|
|
130. * |
SaLotation to Ilyas.[130]
|
|
131. * |
Thus do We reward the righteous.[131]
|
|
132. * |
He was surely one of Our believing devotees.[132]
|
|
133. * |
Lot was one of Our Messengers.[133]
|
|
134. * |
Behold, We delivered him and his whole family[134]
|
|
135. * |
except an old woman who was among those who remained behind,[135]
|
|
136. * |
and We destroyed the others.[136]
|
|
137. * |
Surely you pass by their ruins by day[137]
|
|
138. * |
and by night. Will you not use your common sense?[138]
|
|
139. * |
Jonah was surely one of Our Messengers.[139]
|
|
140. * |
When he ran to the laden ship,[140]
|
|
141. * |
took part in casting of lots, and was condemned.[141]
|
|
142. * |
A whale swallowed him for he had become blameworthy.[142]
|
|
143. * |
Had he not repented and became of those who glorify Allah,[143]
|
|
144. * |
he would certainly have remained inside its belly till the Day of Resurrection.[144]
|
|
145. * |
Then We cast him upon a desolate shore in a state of serious illness[145]
|
|
146. * |
and caused a gourd plant to grow over him.[146]
|
|
147. * |
Then We sent him to a nation of one hundred thousand people or more.[147]
|
|
148. * |
They believed in him, so We permitted them to enjoy their life for a while.[148]
|
|
149. * |
Just ask the unbelievers: Does it make any sense that their Lord should have daughters while they choose to have sons?[149]
|
|
150. * |
Or is it that We created the angels as females and they were present at their creation?[150]
|
|
151. * |
Surely they invent a lie when they say: [151]
|
|
152. * |
Allah has children. They are utter liars.[152]
|
|
153. * |
Would He choose daughters rather than sons?[153]
|
|
154. * |
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?[154]
|
|
155. * |
Will you not take heed?[155]
|
|
156. * |
Or do you have any proof of what you are saying?[156]
|
|
157. * |
Show us your scriptures if you are truthful![157]
|
|
158. * |
They assert blood- relationship between Him and the jinns; and the jinns know quite well that they will be called to account.[158]
|
|
159. * |
Glory be to Allah! He is free from what they ascribe to Him[159]
|
|
160. * |
except His sincere devotees who do not attribute such things to Him.[160]
|
|
161. * |
Therefore neither you nor those whom you worship[161]
|
|
162. * |
can deceive anyone about Allah[162]
|
|
163. * |
except him who is destined for hell.[163]
|
|
164. * |
The angels in fact say: "We each have our appointed place.[164]
|
|
165. * |
We range ourselves in ranks for His service[165]
|
|
166. * |
and we are surely those who declare His glory."[166]
|
|
167. * |
Before this, the same disbelievers used to say:[167]
|
|
168. * |
If we had received a reminder which the earlier people had received,[168]
|
|
169. * |
We certainly would have been sincere devotees of Allah.[169]
|
|
170. * |
But now that the Qur’an has come, they reject it: but soon they will find out the consequences of this attitude.[170]
|
|
171. * |
We have already promised Our servants whom We sent as Messengers[171]
|
|
172. * |
that they would certainly be helped,[172]
|
|
173. * |
and that Our forces will surely be victorious.[173]
|
|
174. * |
So give no heed to them for a while;[174]
|
|
175. * |
you will see their downfall as they shall see your victory.[175]
|
|
176. * |
Do they wish to hurry on Our punishment?[176]
|
|
177. * |
But dreadful will be that morning, when it will descend in the courtyards of those who have been forewarned.[177]
|
|
178. * |
So pay no heed to them for a while.[178]
|
|
179. * |
You will surely see their downfall as they shall see your victory.[179]
|
|
180. * |
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, He is free from what they ascribe to Him![180]
|
|
181. * |
Peace be on the Messengers,[181]
|
|
182. * |
and praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.[182]
