بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا1
By those [angels] lined up in rows
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا2
And those who drive [the clouds]
فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا3
And those who recite the message,
إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ4
Indeed, your God is One,
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ5
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ6
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ7
And as protection against every rebellious devil
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ8
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ9
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ10
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 لَّازِبٍۭ11
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 وَيَسْخَرُونَ12
But you wonder, while they mock,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ13
And when they are reminded, they remember not.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ14
And when they see a sign, they ridicule.
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ15
And say, "This is not but obvious magic.
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ16
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ17
And our forefathers [as well]?"
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ18
Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ19
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ20
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ21
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ22
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ23
Other than Allāh, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ24
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ25
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ26
But they, that Day, are in surrender.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ27
And they will approach one another asking [i.e., blaming] each other.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ28
They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ29
They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ30
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ31
So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ32
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ33
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ34
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ35
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ36
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ37
Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ38
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ39
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ40
But not the chosen servants of Allāh.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ41
Those will have a provision determined -
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ42
Fruits; and they will be honored
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ43
In gardens of pleasure
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ44
On thrones facing one another.
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ45
There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ46
White and delicious to the drinkers;
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ47
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.
وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ48
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ49
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ50
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ51
A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ52
Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ53
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ54
He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ55
And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ56
He will say, "By Allāh, you almost ruined me.
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ57
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ58
Then, are we not to die
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ59
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ60
Indeed, this is the great attainment.
لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ61
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ62
Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ63
Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ64
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ65
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ66
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ67
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ68
Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ69
Indeed they found their fathers astray.
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ70
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ71
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ72
And We had already sent among them warners.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ73
Then look how was the end of those who were warned -
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ74
But not the chosen servants of Allāh.
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ75
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.
وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ76
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ77
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ78
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ79
"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ80
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ81
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ82
Then We drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers].
۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ83
And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ84
When he came to his Lord with a sound heart
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ85
[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ86
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ87
Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ88
And he cast a look at the stars
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ89
And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ90
So they turned away from him, departing.
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ91
Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ92
What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ93
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ94
Then they [i.e., the people] came toward him, hastening.
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ95
He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ96
While Allāh created you and that which you do?"
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ97
They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ98
And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ99
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ100
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."
فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ101
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 ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ102
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 لِلْجَبِينِ103
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ104
We called to him, "O Abraham,
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ105
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ106
Indeed, this was the clear trial.
وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ107
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ108
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ109
"Peace upon Abraham."
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ110
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ111
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ112
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ113
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 وَهَـٰرُونَ114
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ115
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ116
And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ117
And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],
وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ118
And We guided them on the straight path.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ119
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ120
"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ121
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ122
Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ123
And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ124
When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allāh?
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ125
Do you call upon Baʿl and leave the best of creators -
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ126
Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ127
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ128
Except the chosen servants of Allāh.
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ129
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:
سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ130
"Peace upon Elias."
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ131
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ132
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ133
And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ134
[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ135
Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ136
Then We destroyed the others.
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ137
And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ138
And at night. Then will you not use reason?
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ139
And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ140
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ141
And he drew lots and was among the losers.
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ142
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ143
And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ144
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.
۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ145
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ146
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.
وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ147
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ148
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ149
So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ150
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ151
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ152
"Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ153
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ154
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ155
Then will you not be reminded?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ156
Or do you have a clear authority?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ157
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ158
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 يَصِفُونَ159
Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ160
Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ161
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ162
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ163
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ164
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ165
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ166
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ167
And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ168
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ169
We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ170
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ171
And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ172
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ173
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ174
So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ175
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ176
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ177
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ178
And leave them for a time.
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ179
And see, for they are going to see.
سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ180
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ181
And peace upon the messengers.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ182
And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
