As-Sāffāt

Ayah : 1

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفّٗا

By those [angels] lined up in rows,

Ayah : 2

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا

and those who drive [the clouds],

Ayah : 3

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

and those who recite Allah’s words[1],

[1] Allah swears by three kinds of angels in these three above-mentioned verses to emphasize what comes in the next verse.

Ayah : 4

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ

indeed, your God is One,

Ayah : 5

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ

Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the points of sunrise.

Ayah : 6

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ

We have adorned the sky with the beauty of the stars,

Ayah : 7

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ

and for safeguarding it against every rebellious devil,

Ayah : 8

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ

so that they cannot eavesdrop on the highest assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side[2]

[2] By meteors.

Ayah : 9

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ

to repel them; and for them there will be a perpetual punishment,

Ayah : 10

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ

except who stealthily snatches away some words, he will be pursued by a piercing flame.

Ayah : 11

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ

So ask them, “Are they more difficult to create or other things We created? We created them[3] from sticky clay.

[3] i.e., their father Adam.

Ayah : 12

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

Rather you are astonished, while they ridicule it,

Ayah : 13

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ

and when they are reminded, they pay no heed,

Ayah : 14

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

and when they see a sign, they ridicule it,

Ayah : 15

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ

and they say, “This is nothing but clear magic.

Ayah : 16

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

Is it that when we are dead and become dust and bones, will we really be raised up again,

Ayah : 17

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

and our forefathers too?”

Ayah : 18

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

Say, “Yes, and you will be disgraced.”

Ayah : 19

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

It will only be a single Blast[4], and at once they will be looking around.

[4] i.e., the second blow of the Trumpet.

Ayah : 20

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They will say, “Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!”

Ayah : 21

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

[They will be told], “This is the Day of Decision that you used to deny.”

Ayah : 22

۞ ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ

[The angels will be told], “Gather all those who did wrong and their fellows[5], and whatever they used to worship

[5] In wrongdoing or evil deeds.

Ayah : 23

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

besides Allah, and lead them to the way of Hell,

Ayah : 24

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ

and stop them, for they are to be questioned.”

Ayah : 25

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

[They will be asked], “What is the matter with you, that you no longer help one another?”

Ayah : 26

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ

Rather on that Day they will surrender completely.

Ayah : 27

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

They will turn to one another, reproaching one another.

Ayah : 28

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

[The followers] will say, “It was you who used to delude us from the right way[6].”

[6] Or you used to pressure us, or deceived us with false oaths, or claimed to have the truth.

Ayah : 29

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

[The misleaders] will say, “Rather, you yourselves were not believers,

Ayah : 30

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ

and We had no power over you, rather you yourselves were a transgressing people.

Ayah : 31

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

Now the punishment of our Lord has come true against us; we will surely taste it.

Ayah : 32

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

We did misguide you, for we ourselves were misguided”.

Ayah : 33

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

On that Day they will all share in the punishment.

Ayah : 34

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

This is how We deal with the wicked,

Ayah : 35

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

for whenever it was said to them, “None has the right to be worshiped except Allah,” they became arrogant,

Ayah : 36

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

and said, “Are we going to abandon our gods for a mad poet[7]?”

[7] They mean the Prophet (ﷺ).

Ayah : 37

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Rather, he came with the truth and confirmed the messengers.

Ayah : 38

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ

You will surely taste the painful punishment,

Ayah : 39

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

and you will only be recompensed for what you used to do,

Ayah : 40

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

Ayah : 41

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

They will have a known provision,

Ayah : 42

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

fruits[8]; and they will be honored

[8] i.e., everything delicious that they desire.

Ayah : 43

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in Gardens of Bliss,

Ayah : 44

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

facing one another[9] on couches.

[9] It implies that they will not harbor ill feelings toward one another.

Ayah : 45

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

They will be served with a cup of wine from a flowing stream,

Ayah : 46

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

white and delicious for those who drink.

Ayah : 47

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ

It will cause no harm, nor will they be intoxicated by it,

Ayah : 48

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

and with them will be maidens of modest gaze[10] and beautiful eyes,

[10] i.e., chaste and bashful, looking only at their mates.

Ayah : 49

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

as if they were well-protected eggs[11].

[11] Or pristine pearls.

Ayah : 50

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Then they will turn to one another asking[12].

[12] Of their lives in the world and what led them to Paradise.

Ayah : 51

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

One of them will say, “I had a close friend [in the world]

Ayah : 52

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

who used to say[13], ‘Are you one of those who believe

[13] Mockingly.

Ayah : 53

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

that when we die and become dust and bones, shall we be brought for judgment?’”

Ayah : 54

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He will say[14], “Do you wish to see [his fate]?”

[14] To his companions in Paradise.

Ayah : 55

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

So he will look down and see him[15] in the midst of the Blazing Fire.

[15] His close friend who tried to dissuade him from faith.

Ayah : 56

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

He will say, “By Allah, you were about to ruin me.

Ayah : 57

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among those who are brought [to Hell].”

Ayah : 58

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

[He will say to his fellow believers], “Are we not going to die anymore,

Ayah : 59

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

except for our first death, nor are we going to be punished?”

Ayah : 60

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

This is indeed the supreme triumph!

Ayah : 61

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ

For such [reward] let the workers work.

Ayah : 62

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Is this a better accommodation or the tree of Zaqqūm[16]?[17]

[16] The tree of cactus. [17] The disbelievers of Makkah derided the Prophet (ﷺ) when he warned them of this tree. They wondered how a tree could grow in Hellfire. So Allah revealed this verse.

Ayah : 63

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers.

Ayah : 64

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

It is a tree that grows in the bottom of the Blazing Fire;

Ayah : 65

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

its fruits are like heads of devils.

Ayah : 66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

They will certainly eat from it, filling their bellies.

Ayah : 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

Then on top of that they will be given a mixture of scalding water,

Ayah : 68

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

then their final return will be to the Blazing Fire.

Ayah : 69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

For they found their forefathers astray,

Ayah : 70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

so they rushed to follow in their footsteps.

Ayah : 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Indeed, most of the earlier people went astray before them,

Ayah : 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

even though We sent among them warners.

Ayah : 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Then see how was the end of those who were warned,

Ayah : 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

Ayah : 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

Indeed, Noah called upon Us; how excellent are We at responding!

Ayah : 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

And We saved him and his household[18] from the great distress,

[18] i.e., the believers in his household.

Ayah : 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

and made his offspring[19] the only survivors,

[1] i.e., Noah’s offspring: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Ayah : 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

Ayah : 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

“Peace be upon Noah among all the nations.”

Ayah : 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

Ayah : 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.

Ayah : 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then we drowned the others.

Ayah : 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Indeed, Abraham was one of those who followed his way.

Ayah : 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart,

Ayah : 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshiping?

Ayah : 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

Is it false gods that you seek other than Allah?

Ayah : 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Then what do you think of the Lord of the worlds?”

Ayah : 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

He then cast a glance at the stars[20],

[20] His people had faith in astrology, so Abraham pretended to do the same to show them that he was not able to join them at their pagan feast and to remain in their temple of idols, while he was planning to destroy their idols.

Ayah : 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

and said, “I am sick[21].”

[21] The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Ibrahim (peace be upon him) did not lie except for three lies: His saying {I am sick} and his saying {Rather, the chief of them did this} and his saying about his wife, “She is my sister.” [Al-Bukhāri, Muslim]. Two of them were for the sake of Allah, and the third one was for the sake of his sister.

Ayah : 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

So they went away from him and left.

Ayah : 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

Then he turned to their gods and said, “Why do you not eat[22]?

[22] The offerings placed before you.

Ayah : 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

What is wrong with you that you do not speak?”

Ayah : 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Then he turned upon them, striking them with his right hand.

Ayah : 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Then his people came rushing towards him.

Ayah : 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

He said, “Do you worship what you yourselves carve,

Ayah : 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

when it is Allah Who created you and all what you do?”

Ayah : 97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

They said, “Build a pyre for him and throw him into the blazing fire.”

Ayah : 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

They contrived a plan against him, but We made them the lowest.

Ayah : 99

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

He said, “I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.

Ayah : 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

My Lord, grant me righteous offspring.”

Ayah : 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

So We gave him glad tidings of a forbearing boy[23].

[23] i.e., Ishmael

Ayah : 102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

Then when he reached the age where he could work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice you. What do you think?” He said, “O my dear father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, one of the steadfast.”

Ayah : 103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

When they both submitted [to Allah’s command] and Abraham laid him on his forehead,

Ayah : 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

and We called out to him, “O Abraham,

Ayah : 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

You have fulfilled the dream.” This is how We reward those who do good.

Ayah : 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

This was indeed a revealing test.

Ayah : 107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice[24],

[24] Allah Almighty sent a ram to be sacrificed in place of Ishmael.

Ayah : 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

Ayah : 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

“Peace be upon Abraham.”

Ayah : 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

Ayah : 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.

Ayah : 112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

And We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac[25], a prophet, and one of the righteous.

[25] The birth of Isaac is mentioned after the story of sacrifice, which verifies that the firstborn son who was sacrificed was indeed Ishmael and not Isaac, contrary to what is claimed by the Jews and Christians. This is also supported by 11:71, where Sarah is told that she would give birth to Isaac, who would have a son by the name of Jacob.

Ayah : 113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

We blessed him[26] and Isaac, but among their offspring were some who did good and some who clearly wronged themselves.

[26] Abraham or Ishmael.

Ayah : 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Indeed, We bestowed Our favor upon Moses and Aaron,

Ayah : 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

and We saved them and their people from the great distress[27],

[27] Of enslavement at the hands of Pharaoh and his people, as well as of drowning.

Ayah : 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

and We helped them, so they were victorious,

Ayah : 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

and We gave them both the clear Scripture,

Ayah : 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

and guided them to the straight path;

Ayah : 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and We left for them [a favorable mention] among later generations:

Ayah : 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

“Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.”

Ayah : 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

Ayah : 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

They were truly of Our believing slaves.

Ayah : 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Elijah was indeed one of the messengers.

Ayah : 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When he said to his people: “Do you not fear Allah?

Ayah : 125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

Do you call upon Ba‘l[28] and ignore the Best of the Creators,

[28] A great idol worshiped by the people.

Ayah : 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”

Ayah : 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

But they rejected him, so they will surely be brought [for punishment],

Ayah : 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

Ayah : 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

Ayah : 130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

“Peace be upon Elias.”

Ayah : 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

Ayah : 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.

Ayah : 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Lot was indeed one of the messengers.

Ayah : 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

When We saved him and all of his household,

Ayah : 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

except an old woman[29] who was among those who stayed behind.

[29] Lot’s wife, who was not a believer.

Ayah : 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then We destroyed the rest.

Ayah : 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

You [Makkans] pass by their ruins by day

Ayah : 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

and by night. Do you still not understand?

Ayah : 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Jonah was indeed one of the messengers.

Ayah : 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

When he fled to the fully laden ship,

Ayah : 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

then he cast lots[30] with them, but was among those who lost.

[30] To determine who would be cast overboard in order to save the rest of the passengers; the ship was about to sink, for it was overloaded.

Ayah : 142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

The whale then swallowed him while he was blameworthy[31].

[31] For leaving his people without Allah’s permission.

Ayah : 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

Were it not for the fact that he was one of those who glorify Allah,

Ayah : 144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection[32].

[32] The belly of the fish would have turned to be his grave.

Ayah : 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

But We cast him ashore on a barren land while he was ill,

Ayah : 146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

and caused a gourd vine[33] to grow over him.

[33] For its cooling shade and as food for him.

Ayah : 147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

We sent him[34] to one hundred thousand people or more,

[34] i.e., We sent him thereafter to his people.

Ayah : 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

and they believed, so We let them enjoy for a while.

Ayah : 149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

So ask them, “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?”[35]

[35] The pagans of Makkah claimed that angels were Allah’s daughters, while preferring sons for themselves.

Ayah : 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

Or did We create the angels as females while they were watching?

Ayah : 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

No indeed, it is one of their fabrications when they say,

Ayah : 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

“Allah has children,” and they are truly liars.

Ayah : 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

Did He choose daughters over sons[36]?

[36] i.e., daughters that you hate over sons that you like?

Ayah : 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

Ayah : 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Will you not then take heed?

Ayah : 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

Do you have any compelling proof?

Ayah : 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then bring your scripture, if you are truthful.

Ayah : 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

They claim that there is a kinship between Him and the jinn[37], when the jinn themselves know that such people will surely be brought [for punishment].

[37] It was claimed by some Arab pagans that angels are daughters of Allah through female jinn.

Ayah : 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Glorified is Allah far above what they ascribe [to Him].

Ayah : 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

But not the chosen slaves of Allah[38].

[38] Who do not ascribe to Allah such false claims.

Ayah : 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

So you and whatever you worship

Ayah : 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

none of you can lure anyone away from Him,

Ayah : 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

except those who are destined to burn in the Blazing Fire[39].

[39] Due to their disbelief and evil deeds.

Ayah : 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

[The angels say][40], “There is none among us but has a known station[41]:

[40] Refuting the disbelievers’ false claims about them. [41] In worshiping Allah and obeying Him in our assigned tasks.

Ayah : 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

We are indeed those who stand lined up in rows,

Ayah : 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

and we are indeed those who glorify Allah.”

Ayah : 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

And [the pagans] used to say[42],

[42] Before the revelation of the Qur’an.

Ayah : 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

“If only we had a scripture[43] like the previous people,

[43] Such as the Torah and the Gospel.

Ayah : 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

we would have surely been true slaves of Allah.”

Ayah : 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

But they rejected it[44]; soon they will come to know.

[44] i.e., their own message, the Qur’an.

Ayah : 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Our Word has already been given to Our slaves, the messengers,

Ayah : 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

that it is surely they who will be given victory,

Ayah : 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

and that Our soldiers will surely be the victors.

Ayah : 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

So turn away from them for a while.

Ayah : 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Wait and see; soon they will see [their end].

Ayah : 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Do they really seek to hasten Our punishment?

Ayah : 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

When it[45] descends on their courtyard, how terrible will be the morning of those who were warned!

[45] Allah’s punishment.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

And turn away from them for a while.

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, far above what they ascribe [to Him],

Ayah : 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

and peace be upon the messengers,

Ayah : 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

and all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
