SURAH AS-SAFFAAT (THE RANGERS)

There are 182 verses in this surah and it was revealed in Mecca. The reward for reciting this surah is ten times the total number of Jinn and Shayateen that exist. The reciter of this surah is protected from Shaitan and is safe from falling into disbelief and Shirk. His angels who record his deeds will testify for him on the Day of Judgement that he was from among those who believed in the Prophets of Allah (s.w.t).

It is narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) that reciting surah as-Saffaat on every Friday keeps one safe from all types of calamities. His sustenance will increase and his life, wealth and children will be protected from the evil designs of Shaitan and the tyrant rulers of the time. If one dies soon after reciting this surah, he will die the death of a martyr; he will be raised on the Day of Judgement together with the martyrs and will enter Paradise with them.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

وَالصّٰٓفّٰتِ صَفًّا ۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks

فَالزّٰجِرٰتِ زَجْرًا ۙ‏(2)

(2) Then those who drive away with reproof,

فَالتّٰلِيٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۙ‏(3)

(3) Then those who recite, being mindful,

اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ ؕ‏(4)

(4) Most surely your Allah is One:

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ ؕ‏(5)

(5) The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.

اِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِيْنَةِ ۟الْكَوَاكِبِۙ‏(6)

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

وَحِفْظًا مِّنْ كُلِّ شَيْطٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ‌ۚ‏(7)

(7) And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُوْنَ اِلَى الْمَلَاِ الْاَعْلٰى وَيُقْذَفُوْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍۖ ‏(8)

(8) They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,

دُحُوْرًا وَّلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌ ۙ‏(9)

(9) Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,

اِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَاَتْبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ‏(10)

(10) Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَهُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمْ مَّنْ خَلَقْنَاؕ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ طِيْنٍ لَّازِبٍ‏(11)

(11) Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُوْنَ‏(12)

(12) Nay! you wonder while they mock,

وَاِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا لَا يَذْكُرُوْنَ‏(13)

(13) And when they are reminded, they mind not,

وَاِذَا رَاَوْا اٰيَةً يَّسْتَسْخِرُوْنَ‏(14)

(14) And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,

وَقَالُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ‌ ۖ‌ۚ‏(15)

(15) And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:

ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَۙ‏(16)

(16) What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,

اَوَاٰبَآؤُنَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَؕ‏(17)

(17) Or our fathers of yore?

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَاَنْتُمْ دٰخِرُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(18)

(18) Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.

فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ‏(19)

(19) So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.

وَقَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَا هٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِ‏(20)

(20) And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.

هٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِىْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ‏(21)

(21) This is the day of the Judgement which you called a lie.

اُحْشُرُوا الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا وَاَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوْا يَعْبُدُوْنَۙ‏(22)

(22) Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship

مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَاهْدُوْهُمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيْمِ‏(23)

(23) Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.

وَقِفُوْهُمْ‌ اِنَّهُمْ مَّسْئُوْلُوْنَۙ‏(24)

(24) And stop them, for they shall be questioned:

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُوْنَ‏(25)

(25) What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?

بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُوْنَ‏(26)

(26) Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.

وَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ‏(27)

(27) And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.

قَالُوْۤا اِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَاْتُوْنَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِيْنِ‏(28)

(28) They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.

قَالُوْا بَلْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(29)

(29) They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ سُلْطٰنِ‌ۚ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طٰغِيْنَ‏(30)

(30) And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ اِنَّا لَذَآئِقُوْنَ‏(31)

(31) So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;

فَاَغْوَيْنٰكُمْ اِنَّا كُنَّا غٰوِيْنَ‏(32)

(32) So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.

فَاِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُوْنَ‏(33)

(33) So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِيْنَ‏(34)

(34) Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.

اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْۤا اِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُۙ يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَۙ‏(35)

(35) Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ اَئِنَّا لَتٰرِكُوْۤا اٰلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُوْنٍ ؕ‏(36)

(36) And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

بَلْ جَآءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ‏(37)

(37) Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.

اِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا الْعَذَابِ الْاَلِيْمِ‌ۚ‏(38)

(38) Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَۙ‏(39)

(39) And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ‏(40)

(40) Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

اُولٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌۙ‏(41)

(41) For them is a known sustenance,

فَوَاكِهُ‌ۚ وَهُمْ مُّكْرَمُوْنَۙ‏(42)

(42) Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,

فِىْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيْمِۙ‏(43)

(43) In gardens of pleasure,

عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيْنَ‏(44)

(44) On thrones, facing each other.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكَاْسٍ مِّنْ مَّعِيْنٍۢ ۙ‏(45)

(45) A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِيْنَ‌ ۖ‌ۚ‏(46)

(46) White, delicious to those who drink.

لَا فِيْهَا غَوْلٌ وَّلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنْزَفُوْنَ‏(47)

(47) There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.

وَعِنْدَهُمْ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرْفِ عِيْنٌۙ‏(48)

(48) And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;

كَاَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُوْنٌ‏(49)

(49) As if they were eggs carefully protected.

فَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ‏(50)

(50) Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ اِنِّىْ كَانَ لِىْ قَرِيْنٌۙ‏(51)

(51) A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,

يَقُوْلُ اَءِ نَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِيْنَ‏(52)

(52) Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?

ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَدِيْنُوْنَ‏(53)

(53) What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to Judgement?

قَالَ هَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّطَّلِعُوْنَ‏(54)

(54) He shall say: Will you look on?

فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَاٰهُ فِىْ سَوَآءِ الْجَحِيْمِ‏(55)

(55) Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.

قَالَ تَاللّٰهِ اِنْ كِدْتَّ لَتُرْدِيْنِۙ‏(56)

(56) He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّىْ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِيْنَ‏(57)

(57) And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.

اَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِيْنَۙ‏(58)

(58) Is it then that we are not going to die,

اِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْاُوْلٰى وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيْنَ‏(59)

(59) Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ‏(60)

(60) Most surely this is the mighty achievement.

لِمِثْلِ هٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعٰمِلُوْنَ‏(61)

(61) For the like of this then let the workers work.

اَذٰ لِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا اَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّوْمِ‏(62)

(62) Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?

اِنَّا جَعَلْنٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظّٰلِمِيْنَ‏(63)

(63) Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.

اِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىْۤ اَصْلِ الْجَحِيْمِۙ‏(64)

(64) Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell;

طَلْعُهَا كَاَنَّهٗ رُءُوْسُ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ‏(65)

(65) Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.

فَاِنَّهُمْ لَاٰكِلُوْنَ مِنْهَا فَمٰلِئُوْنَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُوْنَ ؕ‏(66)

(66) Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.

ثُمَّ اِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيْمٍ‌ۚ‏(67)

(67) Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.

ثُمَّ اِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَاۡاِلَى الْجَحِيْمِ‏(68)

(68) Then most surely their return shall be to hell.

اِنَّهُمْ اَلْفَوْا اٰبَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّيْنَۙ‏(69)

(69) Surely they found their fathers going astray,

فَهُمْ عَلٰٓى اٰثٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُوْنَ‏(70)

(70) So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ اَكْثَرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَۙ‏(71)

(71) And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا فِيْهِمْ مُّنْذِرِيْنَ‏(72)

(72) And certainly We sent among them warners.

فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَۙ‏(73)

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

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ‏(74)

(74) Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

وَلَقَدْ نَادٰٮنَا نُوْحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيْبُوْنَ ۖ‏(75)

(75) And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.

وَنَجَّيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۖ‏(76)

(76) And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ هُمُ الْبٰقِيْنَ ۖ‏(77)

(77) And We made his offspring the survivors.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الْاٰخِرِيْنَ ۖ‏(78)

(78) And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰى نُوْحٍ فِى الْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏(79)

(79) Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏(80)

(80) Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏(81)

(81) Surely he was of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا الْاٰخَرِيْنَ‏(82)

(82) Then We drowned the others

وَاِنَّ مِنْ شِيْعَتِهٖ لَاِبْرٰهِيْمَ‌ۘ‏(83)

(83) And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.

اِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهٗ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيْمٍ‏(84)

(84) When he came to his Lord with a free heart,

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(85)

(85) When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship?

اَئِفْكًا اٰلِهَةً دُوْنَ اللّٰهِ تُرِيْدُوْنَؕ‏(86)

(86) A lie-- gods besides Allah-- do you desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏(87)

(87) What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى النُّجُوْمِۙ‏(88)

(88) Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,

فَقَالَ اِنِّىْ سَقِيْمٌ‏(89)

(89) Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِيْنَ‏(90)

(90) So they went away from him, turning back.

فَرَاغَ اِلٰٓى اٰلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ اَلَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(91)

(91) Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُوْنَ‏(92)

(92) What is the matter with you that you do not speak?

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِالْيَمِيْنِ‏(93)

(93) Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.

فَاَقْبَلُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّوْنَ‏(94)

(94) So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.

قَالَ اَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مَا تَنْحِتُوْنَۙ‏(95)

(95) Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ‏(96)

(96) And Allah has created you and what you make.

قَالُوا ابْنُوْا لَهٗ بُنْيَانًا فَاَلْقُوْهُ فِى الْجَحِيْمِ‏(97)

(97) They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.

فَاَرَادُوْا بِهٖ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنٰهُمُ الْاَسْفَلِيْنَ‏(98)

(98) And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.

وَقَالَ اِنِّىْ ذَاهِبٌ اِلٰى رَبِّىْ سَيَهْدِيْنِ‏(99)

(99) And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِىْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ‏(100)

(100) My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.

فَبَشَّرْنٰهُ بِغُلٰمٍ حَلِيْمٍ‏(101)

(101) So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْىَ قَالَ يٰبُنَىَّ اِنِّىْۤ اَرٰى فِى الْمَنَامِ اَنِّىْۤ اَذْبَحُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرٰى‌ؕ قَالَ يٰۤاَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ‌ سَتَجِدُنِىْۤ اِنْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ‏(102)

(102) And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.

فَلَمَّاۤ اَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهٗ لِلْجَبِيْنِ‌ۚ‏(103)

(103) So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,

وَنَادَيْنٰهُ اَنْ يّٰۤاِبْرٰهِيْمُۙ‏(104)

(104) And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّءْيَا ‌ ‌ۚ اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏(105)

(105) You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلٰٓؤُا الْمُبِيْنُ‏(106)

(106) Most surely this is a manifest trial.

وَفَدَيْنٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيْمٍ‏(107)

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

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الْاٰخِرِيْنَ‌ۖ‏(108)

(108) And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰٓى اِبْرٰهِيْمَ‏(109)

(109) Peace be on Ibrahim.

كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏(110)

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

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏(111)

(111) Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنٰهُ بِاِسْحٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ‏(112)

(112) And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.

وَبٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلٰٓى اِسْحٰقَ‌ؕ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَّظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖ مُبِيْنٌ‌‏(113)

(113) And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلٰى مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(114)

(114) And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.

وَنَجَّيْنٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ‌ۚ‏(115)

(115) And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.

وَنَصَرْنٰهُمْ فَكَانُوْا هُمُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(116)

(116) And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.

وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمَا الْكِتٰبَ الْمُسْتَبِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(117)

(117) And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.

وَهَدَيْنٰهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيْمَ‌ۚ‏(118)

(118) And We guided them both on the right way.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى الْاٰخِرِيْنَۙ‏(119)

(119) And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰى مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ‏(120)

(120) Peace be on Musa and Haroun.

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏(121)

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

اِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏(122)

(122) Surely they were both of Our believing servants.

وَاِنَّ اِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَؕ‏(123)

(123) And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.

اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ اَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ‏(124)

(124) When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?

اَتَدْعُوْنَ بَعْلًا وَّتَذَرُوْنَ اَحْسَنَ الْخٰلِقِيْنَۙ‏(125)

(125) What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,

اللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ اٰبَآئِكُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ‏(126)

(126) Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُوْنَۙ‏(127)

(127) But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ‏(128)

(128) But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الْاٰخِرِيْنَۙ‏(129)

(129) And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰٓى اِلْ يَاسِيْنَ‏(130)

(130) Peace be on Ilyas.

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏(131)

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

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ‏(132)

(132) Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

وَاِنَّ لُوْطًا لَّمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَؕ‏(133)

(133) And Lut was most surely of the apostles.

اِذْ نَجَّيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗۤ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ‏(134)

(134) When We delivered him and his followers, all--

اِلَّا عَجُوْزًا فِى الْغٰبِرِيْنَ‏(135)

(135) Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْاٰخَرِيْنَ‏(136)

(136) Then We destroyed the others.

وَاِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُّصْبِحِيْنَۙ‏(137)

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

وَبِالَّيْلِ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ‌‏(138)

(138) And at night; do you not then understand?

وَاِنَّ يُوْنُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَؕ‏(139)

(139) And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.

اِذْ اَبَقَ اِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُوْنِۙ‏(140)

(140) When he ran away to a ship completely laden,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(141)

(141) So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوْتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيْمٌ‏(142)

(142) So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself

فَلَوْلَاۤ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِيْنَۙ‏(143)

(143) But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),

لَلَبِثَ فِىْ بَطْنِهٖۤ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(144)

(144) He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.

فَنَبَذْنٰهُ بِالْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيْمٌ‌ۚ‏(145)

(145) Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.

وَاَنْۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّنْ يَّقْطِيْنٍ‌ۚ‏(146)

(146) And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.

وَاَرْسَلْنٰهُ اِلٰى مِائَةِ اَلْفٍ اَوْ يَزِيْدُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(147)

(147) And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.

فَاٰمَنُوْا فَمَتَّعْنٰهُمْ اِلٰى حِيْنٍؕ‏(148)

(148) And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُوْنَۙ‏(149)

(149) Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.

اَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِنَاثًا وَّهُمْ شٰهِدُوْنَ‏(150)

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

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنْ اِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُوْلُوْنَۙ‏(151)

(151) Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:

وَلَدَ اللّٰهُۙ وَاِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ‏(152)

(152) Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.

اَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِيْنَؕ‏(153)

(153) Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُوْنَ‏(154)

(154) What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?

اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(155)

(155) Will you not then mind?

اَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطٰنٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ‏(156)

(156) Or have you a clear authority?

فَاْتُوْا بِكِتٰبِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ‏(157)

(157) Then bring your book, if you are truthful.

وَجَعَلُوْا بَيْنَهٗ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ؕ‌ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ اِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُوْنَۙ‏(158)

(158) And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَۙ‏(159)

(159) Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ‏(160)

(160) But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

فَاِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَۙ‏(161)

(161) So surely you and what you worship,

مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفٰتِنِيْنَۙ‏(162)

(162) Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,

اِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيْمِ‏(163)

(163) Save him who will go to hell.

وَمَا مِنَّاۤ اِلَّا لَهٗ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌۙ‏(164)

(164) And there is none of us but has an assigned place,

وَّاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّآفُّوْنَ‌ۚ‏(165)

(165) And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,

وَاِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُوْنَ‏(166)

(166) And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).

وَاِنْ كَانُوْا لَيَقُوْلُوْنَۙ‏(167)

(167) And surely they used to say:

لَوْ اَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ الْاَوَّلِيْنَۙ‏(168)

(168) Had we a reminder from those of yore,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ‏(169)

(169) We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- the purified ones.

فَكَفَرُوْا بِهٖ‌ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ‏(170)

(170) But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ ‌ۖ‌ۚ‏(171)

(171) And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:

اِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُوْرُوْنَ ‏(172)

(172) Most surely they shall be the assisted ones

وَاِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ‏(173)

(173) And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى حِيْنٍۙ‏(174)

(174) Therefore turn away from them till a time,

وَاَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُوْنَ‏(175)

(175) And (then) see them, so they too shall see.

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ‏(176)

(176) What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?

فَاِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَ‏(177)

(177) But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى حِيْنٍۙ‏(178)

(178) And turn away from them till a time

وَّاَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُوْنَ‏(179)

(179) And (then) see, for they too shall see.

سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(180)

(180) Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ‌ۚ‏(181)

(181) And peace be on the apostles.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ‌‏(182)

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