Surah As-Saaffat (الصَّافات)

Ayat 1–25

وَالصّٰٓفّٰتِ صَفًّاۙ ۝١

37:1By those who set the ranks in battle order

فَالزّٰجِرٰتِ زَجۡرًاۙ ۝٢

37:2And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

فَالتّٰلِيٰتِ ذِكۡرًاۙ ۝٣

37:3And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمۡ لَوَاحِدٌؕ ۝٤

37:4Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الۡمَشَارِقِؕ ۝٥

37:5Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.

اِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنۡيَا بِزِيۡنَةِࣙ الۡكَوَاكِبِۙ ۝٦

37:6Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

وَحِفۡظًا مِّنۡ كُلِّ شَيۡطٰنٍ مَّارِدٍۚ ۝٧

37:7With security from every froward devil.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡمَلَاِ الۡاَعۡلٰى وَيُقۡذَفُوۡنَ مِنۡ كُلِّ جَانِبٍۖ ۝٨

37:8They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

دُحُوۡرًاࣙ وَّلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌۙ ۝٩

37:9Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

اِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ الۡخَطۡفَةَ فَاَتۡبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ۝١٠

37:10Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

فَاسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ اَهُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمۡ مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَاؕ اِنَّا خَلَقۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ طِيۡنٍ لَّازِبٍ ۝١١

37:11Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُوۡنَ ۝١٢

37:12Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

وَاِذَا ذُكِّرُوۡا لَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ ۝١٣

37:13And heed not when they are reminded,

وَاِذَا رَاَوۡا اٰيَةً يَّسۡتَسۡخِرُوۡنَ ۝١٤

37:14And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

وَقَالُوۡۤا اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ ۖۚ ۝١٥

37:15And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

ءَاِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُـنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَۙ ۝١٦

37:16When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?

اَوَاٰبَآؤُنَا الۡاَوَّلُوۡنَؕ ۝١٧

37:17And our forefathers?

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ دٰخِرُوۡنَۚ ۝١٨

37:18Say (O Muhammad): Yea, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمۡ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ ۝١٩

37:19There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

وَقَالُوۡا يٰوَيۡلَنَا هٰذَا يَوۡمُ الدِّيۡنِ ۝٢٠

37:20And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.

هٰذَا يَوۡمُ الۡفَصۡلِ الَّذِىۡ كُنۡتُمۡ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوۡنَ ۝٢١

37:21This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.

اُحۡشُرُوا الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا وَاَزۡوَاجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ ۝٢٢

37:22(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship

مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ فَاهۡدُوۡهُمۡ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الۡجَحِيۡمِ ۝٢٣

37:23Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;

وَقِفُوۡهُمۡ اِنَّهُمۡ مَّسْـُٔـوۡلُوۡنَۙ ۝٢٤

37:24And stop them, for they must be questioned.

مَا لَـكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُوۡنَ ۝٢٥

37:25What aileth you that ye help not one another?
