1 By those who set the ranks in battle order
1 بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّا
2 And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
2 فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا
3 And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
3 فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا
4 Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
4 إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ
5 Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
5 رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ
6 Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
6 إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
7 With security from every froward devil.
7 وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَـٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ
8 They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
8 لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ
9 Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
9 دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ
10 Save Kim who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame. .
10 إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ
11 Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom We have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
11 فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ
12 Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
12 بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
13 And heed not when they are reminded,
13 وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
14 And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
14 وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
15 And they say: lo! this is mere magic;
15 وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
16 When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again) ?
16 أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
17 And our forefathers?
17 أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
18 Say (O Muhammad): Yea, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
18 قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
19 There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
19 فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
20 And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgement.
20 وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَا هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
21 This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
21 هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
22 (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
22 ۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ
23 Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
23 مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
24 And stop them, for they must be questioned.
24 وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
25 What aileth you that ye help not one another?
25 مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
26 Nay, but this day they make full submission.
26 بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
27 And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
27 وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
28 They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
28 قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
29 They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
29 قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
30 We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk. i LXXE, 8-10; LXVH, 5.
30 وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ
31 Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
31 فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
32 Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
32 فَأَغْوَيْنَـٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَـٰوِينَ
33 Then lol this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
33 فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
34 Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
34 إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
35 For when it was said unto them, There is no god save Allah, they were scornful
35 إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
36 And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?
36 وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
37 Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
37 بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
38 Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom
38 إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ
39 Ye are requited naught save what ye did
39 وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
40 Save single-minded slaves of Allah;
40 إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
41 For them there is a known provision,
41 أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
42 Fruits. And they will be honoured
42 فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ
43 In the Gardens of delight,
43 فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
44 On couches facing one another;
44 عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
45 A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
45 يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ
46 White, delicious to the drinkers,
46 بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
47 Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
47 لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ
48 And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
48 وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ
49 (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
49 كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ
50 And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
50 فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
51 A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
51 قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ
52 Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words) ?
52 يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
53 Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones can we (then) verily be brought to book?
53 أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
54 He saith: Will ye look?
54 قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
55 Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell. xxxvn THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS 459
55 فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
56 He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
56 قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ
57 And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
57 وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
58 Are we then not to die
58 أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
59 Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
59 إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
60 Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
60 إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
61 For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
61 لِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَـٰمِلُونَ
62 Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum? x
62 أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
63 Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
63 إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
64 Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell
64 إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
65 Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
65 طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ
66 And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
66 فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
67 And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
67 ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
68 And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
68 ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
69 They indeed found their fathers astray,
69 إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ
70 But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
70 فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ
71 And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
71 وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
72 And verily We sent among them warners.
72 وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
73 Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
73 فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
74 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
74 إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
75 And Noah verily prayed unto LTs, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
75 وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ
76 And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
76 وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
77 And made his seed the survivors,
77 وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ
78 And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
78 وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
79 Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
79 سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
80 Lo! thus do We reward the good.
80 إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
81 Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
81 إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
82 Then We did drown the others.
82 ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
83 And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
83 ۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ
84 When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
84 إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
85 When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
85 إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ
86 Is it a falsehood gods beside Allah that ye desire?
86 أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
87 What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
87 فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
88 And he glanced a glance at the stars
88 فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ
89 Then said: Lo! I feel sick I
89 فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ
90 And they turned their backs and went away from him.
90 فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
91 Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
91 فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
92 What aileth you that ye speak not?
92 مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ
93 Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
93 فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ
94 And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
94 فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ
95 He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
95 قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ
96 When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
96 وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
97 They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hot fire.
97 قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَـٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
98 And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
98 فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ
99 And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me
99 وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
100 My Lord/ Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
100 رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
101 So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
101 فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ
102 And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the stedfast. xxxvn THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS 461
102 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 ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
103 Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
103 فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ
104 We called unto him: O Abraham!
104 وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
105 Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
105 قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
106 Lo! that verily was a clear test.
106 إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
107 Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
107 وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
108 And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
108 وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
109 Peace be unto Abraham!
109 سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
110 Thus do We reward the good.
110 كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
111 Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
111 إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
112 And We gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a Prophet of the righteous.
112 وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
113 And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
113 وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ
114 And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
114 وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ
115 And saved them and their people from the great distress,
115 وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
116 And helped them so that they became the victors.
116 وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
117 And We gave them the clear Scripture n 8. And showed them the right path.
117 وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
118 (119) And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):

121 Lo! thus do We reward the good.

122 Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
122 إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
123 And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

124 When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
124 إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
125 Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the best of Creators,

126 ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
127 But they denied Kim, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
127 فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
128 Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
128 إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
129 And We left for him among the later folk (the t \ salutation]:

135 Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
135 إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ

141 And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
141 فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
142 And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
142 فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
143 And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
143 فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
144 He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
144 لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
145 Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
145 ۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
146 And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
146 وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
147 وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
148 And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
148 فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
149 Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
149 فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
150 Or created We the angels females while they were present? xxxvn THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS 463
150 أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ
151 Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
151 أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
152 Allah hath begotten. And loJ verily they tell a lie.
152 وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
153 (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons
153 أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
154 What aileth you? How judge ye?
154 مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
155 Will ye not then reflect?
155 أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
156 Or have ye a clear warrant?
156 أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
157 Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
157 فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
158 And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
158 وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
159 Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him), 60. Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
159 سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
160 (161) Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
160 إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
161 ↑ see v. 160
161 فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
162 Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him
162 مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ
163 Save him who is to burn in hell.
163 إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
164 There is not one of Us but hath his known position.
164 وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
165 Lo! We, even We are they who set the ranks.
165 وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
166 Lo! We, even We are they who hymn His praise
166 وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
167 And indeed they used to say:
167 وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
168 If we had but a reminder from the men of old
168 لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
169 We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
169 لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
170 Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
170 فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
171 And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
171 وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
172 That they verily would be helped,
172 إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
173 And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
173 وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
174 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
174 فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
175 And watch, for they will (soon) see.
175 وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
176 Would they hasten on Our doom?
176 أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
177 But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
177 فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
178 Withdraw from them awhile
178 وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
179 And watch, for they will (soon) see.
179 وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
180 Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
180 سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
181 And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
181 وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
182 And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
182 وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
