وَ ٱلصّٰٓفّٰتِ صَفًّا (1)

By those [angels] lined up in rows (1)

فَالزّٰجِرٰتِ زَجْرًا (2)

And those who drive away [evil] with stern driving (2)

فَالتّٰلِیٰتِ ذِكْرًا (3)

And those who recite the message [of Allah] (3)

اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ (4)

Indeed, your God is one (4)

رَبُّ ٱلسَّمٰوٰتِ وَ ٱلْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَا وَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشٰرِقِ (5)

Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them and Lord of the sunrises (5)

اِنَّا زَیَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْیَا بِزِیْنَةِ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ (6)

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars (6)

وَ حِفْظًا مِّنْ كُلِّ شَیْطٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ (7)

And as protection against every rebellious devil (7)

لَا یَسَّمَّعُوْنَ اِلَى ٱلْمَلَاِ ٱلْاَعْلٰى وَ یُقْذَفُوْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ (8)

They may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels], and they are pelted from every side (8)

دُحُوْرًا وَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌ (9)

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment (9)

اِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَاَتْبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ (10)

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but he is pursued by a burning flame, piercing [through darkness] (10)

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَهُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمْ مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ طِیْنٍ لَّازِبٍ (11)

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they stronger in creation or those [angels and heavens] We have created?" Indeed, We created man from sticky clay (11)

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَ یَسْخَرُوْنَ (12)

Rather, you wonder [at their denial], while they ridicule (12)

وَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا لَا یَذْكُرُوْنَ (13)

And when they are reminded, they do not remember (13)

وَ اِذَا رَاَوْا اٰیَةً یَّسْتَسْخِرُوْنَ (14)

And when they see a sign, they ridicule (14)

وَ قَالُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَآ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ (15)

And they say, "This is not but obvious magic (15)

ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَ كُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّ عِظٰمًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ (16)

When we have died and become dust and bones, will we indeed be resurrected? (16)

اَوَ اٰبَآؤُنَا ٱلْاَوَّلُوْنَ (17)

And our forefathers as well?" (17)

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُوْنَ (18)

Say, "Yes, and you will be debased." (18)

فَاِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ (19)

It will be only one blast, and immediately they will be looking on (19)

وَ قَالُوْا یٰوَیْلَنَا هٰذَا یَوْمُ ٱلدِّیْنِ (20)

And they will say, "Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment." (20)

هٰذَا یَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِیْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ (21)

[It will be said], "This is the Day of Distinction which you used to deny." (21)

اُحْشُرُوا ٱلَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا وَ اَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْبُدُوْنَ (22)

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, and their [kindred] associates, and what they used to worship (22)

مِنْ دُوْنِ ٱللّٰهِ فَٱهْدُوْهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ ٱلْجَحِیْمِ (23)

Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire (23)

وَ قِفُوْهُمْ اِنَّهُمْ مَّسْـٴُـوْلُوْنَ (24)

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned (24)

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُوْنَ (25)

[It will be said], "What is [the matter] with you? Why do you not help one another?" (25)

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْیَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُوْنَ (26)

Rather, they, that Day, will be submissive [to Allah] (26)

وَ اَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ یَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ (27)

And they will approach one another, questioning each other (27)

قَالُوْۤا اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَاْتُوْنَنَا عَنِ ٱلْیَمِیْنِ (28)

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come to us from the right." (28)

قَالُوْا بَلْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ (29)

They will say, "Rather, you were not believers." (29)

وَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ سُلْطٰنٍ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طٰغِیْنَ (30)

And we had no authority over you, but you were a transgressing people. (30)

فَحَقَّ عَلَیْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ اِنَّا لَذَآىٕقُوْنَ (31)

So the word of our Lord has been justified against us; indeed, we will taste [the punishment]. (31)

فَاَغْوَیْنٰكُمْ اِنَّا كُنَّا غٰوِیْنَ (32)

So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray. (32)

فَاِنَّهُمْ یَوْمَىٕذٍ فِی الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُوْنَ (33)

So indeed, they will that Day be sharing in the punishment. (33)

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِیْنَ (34)

Indeed, thus do We deal with the criminals. (34)

اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْۤا اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا ٱللّٰهُ یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ (35)

Indeed, when it was said to them, "There is no deity except Allah," they would act arrogantly (35)

وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ اَىٕنَّا لَتَارِكُوْۤا اٰلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُوْنٍ (36)

And would say, "Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?" (36)

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَ صَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِیْنَ (37)

Rather, he came with the truth and confirmed the messengers. (37)

اِنَّكُمْ لَذَآىٕقُوا ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْاَلِیْمِ (38)

Indeed, you will be tasters of the painful punishment (38)

وَ مَا تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ (39)

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do (39)

اِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِیْنَ (40)

Except the chosen servants of Allah (40)

اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌ (41)

For those there is a known provision (41)

فَوَاكِهُ وَ هُمْ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ (42)

Fruits; and they will be honored (42)

فِیْ جَنّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیْمِ (43)

In gardens of pleasure (43)

عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِیْنَ (44)

Upon thrones facing one another (44)

یُطَافُ عَلَیْهِمْ بِكَاْسٍ مِّنْ مَّعِیْنٍ (45)

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring (45)

بَیْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ (46)

White and delicious to the drinkers (46)

لَا فِیْهَا غَوْلٌ وَّ لَا هُمْ عَنْهَا یُنْزَفُوْنَ (47)

No headache will there be therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated therefrom (47)

وَ عِنْدَهُمْ قٰصِرٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِیْنٌ (48)

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes (48)

كَاَنَّهُنَّ بَیْضٌ مَّكْنُوْنٌ (49)

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected. (49)

فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ یَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ (50)

And they will approach one another, questioning each other. (50)

قَالَ قَآىٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ اِنِّیْ كَانَ لِیْ قَرِیْنٌ (51)

Said a speaker among them, "Indeed, I had a companion (51)

یَّقُوْلُ اَىٕنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِیْنَ (52)

Who would say, 'Are you among those who believe [in resurrection]? (52)

ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَ كُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّ عِظٰمًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَدِیْنُوْنَ (53)

When we have died and become dust and bones, will we indeed be recompensed?' (53)

قَالَ هَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّطَّلِعُوْنَ (54)

He said, "Would you look down?" (54)

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَاٰهُ فِیْ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِیْمِ (55)

And he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Hellfire. (55)

قَالَ تَاللّٰهِ اِنْ كِدْتَّ لَتُرْدِیْنِ (56)

He said, "By Allah, you almost ruined me. (56)

وَ لَوْ لَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّیْ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِیْنَ (57)

And if not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been among those brought in [to punishment]. (57)

اَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَیِّتِیْنَ (58)

Then are we not to die (58)

اِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْاُوْلٰى وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِیْنَ (59)

Except our first death, and we will not be punished?" (59)

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِیْمُ (60)

Indeed, this is the great success. (60)

لِمِثْلِ هٰذَا فَلْیَعْمَلِ ٱلْعٰمِلُوْنَ (61)

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work. (61)

اَذٰلِكَ خَیْرٌ نُّزُلًا اَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّوْمِ (62)

Is that [Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum? (62)

اِنَّا جَعَلْنٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظّٰلِمِیْنَ (63)

Indeed, We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers. (63)

اِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِیْۤ اَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِیْمِ (64)

Indeed, it is a tree emerging from the bottom of Hellfire (64)

طَلْعُهَا كَاَنَّهٗ رُءُوْسُ ٱلشَّیٰطِیْنِ (65)

Its emerging fruit is as if it were heads of devils. (65)

فَاِنَّهُمْ لَاٰكِلُوْنَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِــٴُـوْنَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُوْنَ (66)

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies. (66)

ثُمَّ اِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَیْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِیْمٍ (67)

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water. (67)

ثُمَّ اِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَاۡاِلَى ٱلْجَحِیْمِ (68)

Then indeed, their return will be to Hellfire. (68)

اِنَّهُمْ اَلْفَوْا اٰبَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّیْنَ (69)

Indeed, they found their fathers astray (69)

فَهُمْ عَلٰۤى اٰثٰرِهِمْ یُهْرَعُوْنَ (70)

So they, on their footsteps, hasten on. (70)

وَ لَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ اَكْثَرُ ٱلْاَوَّلِیْنَ (71)

And there had strayed before them most of the former peoples. (71)

وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا فِیْهِمْ مُّنْذِرِیْنَ (72)

And We had already sent among them warners. (72)

فَٱنْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنْذَرِیْنَ (73)

Then see how was the end of those who were warned (73)

اِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِیْنَ (74)

Except the chosen servants of Allah. (74)

وَ لَقَدْ نَادٰىنَا نُوْحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِیْبُوْنَ (75)

And Noah had called Us, and how excellent [was Our] response. (75)

وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُ وَ اَهْلَهٗ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِیْمِ (76)

And We saved him and his family from the great distress. (76)

وَ جَعَلْنَا ذُرِّیَّتَهٗ هُمُ ٱلْبٰقِیْنَ (77)

And We made his descendants those remaining [on earth]. (77)

وَ تَرَكْنَا عَلَیْهِ فِی ٱلْاٰخِرِیْنَ (78)

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations: (78)

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰى نُوْحٍ فِی ٱلْعٰلَمِیْنَ (79)

Peace be upon Noah among the worlds. (79)

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی ٱلْمُحْسِنِیْنَ (80)

Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good. (80)

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ (81)

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants. (81)

ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْاٰخَرِیْنَ (82)

Then We drowned the others. (82)

وَ اِنَّ مِنْ شِیْعَتِهٖ لَاِبْرٰهِیْمَ (83)

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham, (83)

اِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهٗ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِیْمٍ (84)

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart. (84)

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِیْهِ وَ قَوْمِهٖ مَا ذَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ (85)

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship? (85)

اَىٕفْكًا اٰلِهَةً دُوْنَ ٱللّٰهِ تُرِیْدُوْنَ (86)

Is it falsehood [that you want] - gods other than Allah - that you desire? (86)

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ ٱلْعٰلَمِیْنَ (87)

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?" (87)

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِی ٱلنُّجُوْمِ (88)

And he cast a glance at the stars (88)

فَقَالَ اِنِّیْ سَقِیْمٌ (89)

And said, "Indeed, I am ill." (89)

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِیْنَ (90)

So they turned away from him, retreating. (90)

فَرَاغَ اِلٰۤى اٰلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ اَلَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ (91)

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat? (91)

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُوْنَ (92)

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?" (92)

فَرَاغَ عَلَیْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْیَمِیْنِ (93)

And he turned upon them, striking [them] with his right hand. (93)

فَاَقْبَلُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یَزِفُّوْنَ (94)

So they came forward to him, hastening. (94)

قَالَ اَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مَا تَنْحِتُوْنَ (95)

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve, (95)

وَ ٱللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَ مَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ (96)

While Allah created you and that which you do?" (96)

قَالُوا ٱبْنُوْا لَهٗ بُنْیَانًا فَاَلْقُوْهُ فِی ٱلْجَحِیْمِ (97)

They said, "Construct for him a structure and throw him into the blazing fire." (97)

فَاَرَادُوْا بِهٖ كَیْدًا فَجَعَلْنٰهُمُ ٱلْاَسْفَلِیْنَ (98)

And they intended for him harm, but We made them the lowest [of mankind]. (98)

وَ قَالَ اِنِّیْ ذَاهِبٌ اِلٰى رَبِّیْ سَیَهْدِیْنِ (99)

And [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will go to my Lord; He will guide me." (99)

رَبِّ هَبْ لِیْ مِنَ ٱلصّٰلِحِیْنَ (100)

My Lord, grant me [a child] among the righteous. (100)

فَبَشَّرْنٰهُ بِغُلٰمٍ حَلِیْمٍ (101)

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy. (101)

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْیَ قَالَ یٰبُنَیَّ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰى فِی ٱلْمَنَامِ اَنِّیْۤ اَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنْظُرْ مَا ذَا تَرٰى قَالَ یٰۤاَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِیْۤ اِنْ شَآءَ ٱللّٰهُ مِنَ ٱلصّٰبِرِیْنَ (102)

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 have been commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast." (102)

فَلَمَّآ اَسْلَمَا وَ تَلَّهٗ لِلْجَبِیْنِ (103)

And when they had both submitted [to Allah], and he put him down upon his forehead, (103)

وَ نَادَیْنٰهُ اَنْ یّٰۤاِبْرٰهِیْمُ (104)

We called to him, "O Abraham, (104)

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْیَآ اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی ٱلْمُحْسِنِیْنَ (105)

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good. (105)

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلٰٓؤُا ٱلْمُبِیْنُ (106)

Indeed, this was the clear trial. (106)

وَ فَدَیْنٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِیْمٍ (107)

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice. (107)

وَ تَرَكْنَا عَلَیْهِ فِی ٱلْاٰخِرِیْنَ (108)

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations: (108)

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰۤى اِبْرٰهِیْمَ (109)

Peace be upon Abraham. (109)

كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی ٱلْمُحْسِنِیْنَ (110)

Thus do We reward the doers of good. (110)

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ (111)

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants. (111)

وَ بَشَّرْنٰهُ بِاِسْحٰقَ نَبِیًّا مِّنَ ٱلصّٰلِحِیْنَ (112)

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet among the righteous. (112)

وَ بٰرَكْنَا عَلَیْهِ وَ عَلٰۤى اِسْحٰقَ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَّ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖ مُبِیْنٌ (113)

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is a doer of good and a clear wrongdoer to himself. (113)

وَ لَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلٰى مُوْسٰى وَ هٰرُوْنَ (114)

And We did confer favor upon Moses and Aaron. (114)

وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُمَا وَ قَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِیْمِ (115)

And We saved them and their people from the great distress. (115)

وَ نَصَرْنٰهُمْ فَكَانُوْا هُمُ ٱلْغٰلِبِیْنَ (116)

And We supported them, and they were the victors. (116)

وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِیْنَ (117)

And We gave them the clear Scripture. (117)

وَ هَدَیْنٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَاطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِیْمَ (118)

And We guided them to the straight path. (118)

وَ تَرَكْنَا عَلَیْهِمَا فِی ٱلْاٰخِرِیْنَ (119)

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations: (119)

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰى مُوْسٰى وَ هٰرُوْنَ (120)

Peace be upon Moses and Aaron. (120)

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی ٱلْمُحْسِنِیْنَ (121)

Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good. (121)

اِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ (122)

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants. (122)

وَ اِنَّ اِلْیَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِیْنَ (123)

And indeed, Elias was of the messengers. (123)

اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ (124)

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear [Allah]? (124)

اَتَدْعُوْنَ بَعْلًا وَّ تَذَرُوْنَ اَحْسَنَ ٱلْخٰلِقِیْنَ (125)

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators - (125)

ٱللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَ رَبَّ اٰبَآىٕكُمُ ٱلْاَوَّلِیْنَ (126)

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?" (126)

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُوْنَ (127)

But they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [to punishment] (127)

اِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِیْنَ (128)

Except the chosen servants of Allah. (128)

وَ تَرَكْنَا عَلَیْهِ فِی ٱلْاٰخِرِیْنَ (129)

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations: (129)

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰۤى اِلْ یَاسِیْنَ (130)

Peace be upon Elias. (130)

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی ٱلْمُحْسِنِیْنَ (131)

Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good. (131)

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ (132)

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants. (132)

وَ اِنَّ لُوْطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِیْنَ (133)

And indeed, Lot was of the messengers. (133)

اِذْ نَجَّیْنٰهُ وَ اَهْلَهٗۤ اَجْمَعِیْنَ (134)

When We saved him and his family, all (134)

اِلَّا عَجُوْزًا فِی ٱلْغٰبِرِیْنَ (135)

Except an old woman among those who remained behind. (135)

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْاٰخَرِیْنَ (136)

Then We destroyed the others. (136)

وَ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ مُّصْبِحِیْنَ (137)

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning (137)

وَ بِٱلَّیْلِ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ (138)

And at night. Then will you not use reason? (138)

وَ اِنَّ یُوْنُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِیْنَ (139)

And indeed, Jonah was of the messengers. (139)

اِذْ اَبَقَ اِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُوْنِ (140)

When he fled to the laden ship. (140)

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِیْنَ (141)

And he drew lots and was among the losers. (141)

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوْتُ وَ هُوَ مُلِیْمٌ (142)

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy. (142)

فَلَوْ لَآ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِیْنَ (143)

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah, (143)

لَلَبِثَ فِیْ بَطْنِهٖۤ اِلٰى یَوْمِ یُبْعَثُوْنَ (144)

He would have remained within its belly until the Day they are resurrected. (144)

فَنَبَذْنٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَ هُوَ سَقِیْمٌ (145)

Then We cast him onto the open shore while he was ill. (145)

وَ اَنْۢبَتْنَا عَلَیْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّنْ یَّقْطِیْنٍ (146)

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine. (146)

وَ اَرْسَلْنٰهُ اِلٰى مِائَةِ اَلْفٍ اَوْ یَزِیْدُوْنَ (147)

And We sent him to [a population of] a hundred thousand or more. (147)

فَاٰمَنُوْا فَمَتَّعْنٰهُمْ اِلٰى حِیْنٍ (148)

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a time. (148)

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَ لَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُوْنَ (149)

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons? (149)

اَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلٰٓىٕكَةَ اِنَاثًا وَّ هُمْ شٰهِدُوْنَ (150)

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?" (150)

اَلَآ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنْ اِفْكِهِمْ لَیَقُوْلُوْنَ (151)

Unquestionably, it is out of their [false] claim that they say, (151)

وَلَدَ ٱللّٰهُ وَ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ (152)

"Allah has fathered [children]," and indeed, they are liars. (152)

اَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِیْنَ (153)

Has He chosen daughters over sons? (153)

مَا لَكُمْ كَیْفَ تَحْكُمُوْنَ (154)

What is [wrong] with you? How do you judge? (154)

اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ (155)

Then will you not remember? (155)

اَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطٰنٌ مُّبِیْنٌ (156)

Or do you have a clear authority? (156)

فَاْتُوْا بِكِتٰبِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ (157)

Then bring your scripture, if you should be truthful. (157)

وَ جَعَلُوْا بَیْنَهٗ وَ بَیْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَّ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ اِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُوْنَ (158)

And they have made between Him and the jinn a kinship, but the jinn have already known that they [who make such claims] will be brought to [punishment]. (158)

سُبْحٰنَ ٱللّٰهِ عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَ (159)

Exalted is Allah above what they describe, (159)

اِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِیْنَ (160)

Except the chosen servants of Allah. (160)

فَاِنَّكُمْ وَ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ (161)

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship (161)

مَآ اَنْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ بِفٰتِنِیْنَ (162)

Cannot lure [anyone] away from Him (162)

اِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِیْمِ (163)

Except one who is to [enter and] burn in Hellfire. (163)

وَ مَا مِنَّآ اِلَّا لَهٗ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌ (164)

[The angels say], "And there is not among us any except that he has a known station. (164)

وَّ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّوْنَ (165)

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer or battle]. (165)

وَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُوْنَ (166)

And indeed, we are those who exalt [Allah]." (166)

وَ اِنْ كَانُوْا لَیَقُوْلُوْنَ (167)

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say, (167)

لَوْ اَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْاَوَّلِیْنَ (168)

"If only we had a reminder from the former peoples, (168)

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِیْنَ (169)

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah." (169)

فَكَفَرُوْا بِهٖ فَسَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ (170)

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know. (170)

وَ لَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِیْنَ (171)

And already Our word has preceded for Our servants, the messengers, (171)

اِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنْصُوْرُوْنَ (172)

That they will surely be the ones helped, (172)

وَ اِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغٰلِبُوْنَ (173)

And that Our soldiers will surely be the ones who overcome. (173)

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى حِیْنٍ (174)

So turn away from them until [a specified] time (174)

وَّ اَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ یُبْصِرُوْنَ (175)

And watch [for the punishment descending upon] them, for they are going to see. (175)

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ (176)

Then for Our punishment are they impatient? (176)

فَاِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنْذَرِیْنَ (177)

But when it descends upon their courtyard, then evil will be the morning of those who were warned. (177)

وَ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى حِیْنٍ (178)

And turn away from them until [a specified] time (178)

وَّ اَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ یُبْصِرُوْنَ (179)

And watch, for they are going to see. (179)

سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَ (180)

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe. (180)

وَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِیْنَ (181)

And peace upon the messengers. (181)

وَ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعٰلَمِیْنَ (182)

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds. (182)
