IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah as-Saffat - Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers as rendered by Ali Bakhtiari Nejad
37:1
By those who lined up in rows
37:2
and those who drive away (evil or clouds) vigorously
37:3
and those reading a reminder
37:4
that your god is certainly One
37:5
Master of the skies and the earth and what is between them, and Master of the easts
37:6
Indeed We beautified the sky of the world with beauty of the star
37:7
and as a guard against every defiant devil
37:8
They would not listen to the high assembly, for they are pelted from every side
37:9
chased away, and they have an everlasting punishment
37:10
Except someone who snatches (and overhears) the snatch (the word), then a piercing shooting flame follows him
37:11
So ask their opinion: are they a harder creation or those We created (such as angels and the universe)? Indeed We created them from sticky clay
37:12
No, but you wonder while they ridicule
37:13
And when they are reminded, they do not take notice
37:14
And when they see a sign they ridicule
37:15
and they say: this is only an obvious magic
37:16
are we raised after when we are dead and turned into dust and bones
37:17
or our forefathers
37:18
Say: yes, and you are humiliated
37:19
It is only a single shout, and then they see
37:20
and they say: woe to us, this is the judgment day
37:21
This is the day of separation/decision, the one that you used to deny it
37:22
Gather those who did wrong and their types and what they used to serv
37:23
other than God, and lead them to path of the hellfire
37:24
And stop them (on the way), indeed they are questioned (and are responsible)
37:25
What is with you that you do not help each other
37:26
No, but today they are surrendered
37:27
And they turn to each other asking one another
37:28
they say: indeed you were coming to us from the right (to seduce us)
37:29
They (the others) say: no, but you were not believers
37:30
and there was no authority for us over you, but you were rebellious people
37:31
so the word of our Master is justified against us, indeed we will taste (the punishment)
37:32
So we misled you, as we were indeed misled
37:33
And indeed on that day they are partners in the punishment
37:34
Indeed that is what We do to the guilty ones
37:35
Indeed when it was said to them there is no god except God, they were arrogant
37:36
And they would say: should we give up our gods for a mad poet?
37:37
No, but he brought the truth and confirmed the messengers (before him)
37:38
Indeed you will taste the painful punishment
37:39
And you are only punished for what you used to do
37:40
Except for God's devoted servants
37:41
They have a known provision
37:42
(all kind of) fruits, and they are honored
37:43
in gardens of the delight
37:44
on sofas facing each other
37:45
A cup of spring water is circulated among them
37:46
white and delicious for the drinkers
37:47
no sickness in it, and they do not get exhausted (and drunk) from it
37:48
And there are girls with them, with restrained glances and beautiful eye
37:49
as if they were protected eggs
37:50
And they turn to each other asking one another
37:51
A talker among them say: indeed I had a close friend
37:52
saying: are you among those confirming (the resurrection and the judgment)
37:53
Would we indeed be judged when we die and become dust and bones
37:54
He said: do you know (him)?
37:55
So he looked and saw him in middle of the hellfire
37:56
He said: by God, you almost ruined me
37:57
and if it was not for my Master’s favor, I would have certainly been of those who are brought (to hell)
37:58
and are we not to die (again
37:59
except our first death, and we are not punished?
37:60
Indeed this is the great victory
37:61
For (something) like this, the doers should do (good deeds)
37:62
Is this a better entertainment or the Zaqqum tree
37:63
Indeed We made it a suffering for the wrongdoers
37:64
It is a tree that comes out from bottom of the hellfire
37:65
Its sprout is like heads of the devils
37:66
And they certainly eat from it and fill their stomachs from it
37:67
Then indeed they have a mixture of boiling water (to drink) over it
37:68
Then their return is certainly to the hellfire
37:69
Indeed they found their fathers lost (from the right path)
37:70
and yet they rushed on their footsteps
37:71
And most of the earlier ones have certainly lost (the right path) before them
37:72
And We have certainly sent warners among them
37:73
So see what the end of those who were warned was
37:74
except God's devoted servants
37:75
And Noah has certainly called Us, and We are certainly best of the responders
37:76
And We saved him and his family from the great distress
37:77
And We made his descendants the survivors
37:78
And We left for him (a good name) among the later ones
37:79
Peace (and well-being) upon Noah among humankind
37:80
That is how We reward the good doers
37:81
Indeed he was among Our believing servants
37:82
So We drowned the others
37:83
And indeed among his followers was Abraham
37:84
When he came to his Master with a sound heart
37:85
When he said to his father and his people: what do you serve
37:86
Do you want false gods other than God
37:87
So what do you think about the Master of Human kind
37:88
Then he looked a glance at the stars
37:89
Then he said: indeed I am sick
37:90
So they turned away from him going back
37:91
Then he turned to their gods and said: do you not eat
37:92
What is with you that you do not speak
37:93
Then he turned on them, striking (them) with the right hand
37:94
So they (his people) came to him in a hurry
37:95
He said: do you serve what you carve
37:96
while God created you and what you do (and make)
37:97
They said: build for him a structure (of fire), and throw him into the burning fire
37:98
They wanted to plot for him, but We made them the lower ones (failing in their plot)
37:99
And he said: indeed I go to my Master, He is going to guide me
37:100
my Master, give me (a son) from the righteous
37:101
So We gave him good news of a patient boy
37:102
So when he reached the working (age) with him, he said: my son, indeed I saw in the dream that I sacrifice you, so see what do you think? He said: my father, do what you are ordered, God willing you are going to find me of the patient ones
37:103
So when they both submitted and he (Abraham) put him down on the forehead
37:104
and We called him: Abraham
37:105
you have fulfilled the vision. Indeed that is how We reward the good doer
37:106
Indeed this was the obvious test
37:107
and We ransomed him with a great sacrifice
37:108
And We left for him (a good name) among the later ones
37:109
Peace (and well-being) on Abraham
37:110
That is how We reward the good doers
37:111
Indeed he was among Our believing servants
37:112
And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet from the righteous
37:113
And We blessed him and Isaac, and from their descendants, (some) are good doers and (some) are obviously wrongdoers to themselves
37:114
And We have certainly favored to Moses and Aaron
37:115
And We saved them both and their people from the great distress
37:116
And We helped them, so they became the winners
37:117
And We gave them the clear (and clarifying) book
37:118
and We guided them to the straight path
37:119
And We left both of them (a good name) among the later ones
37:120
Peace (and well-being) on Moses and Aaron
37:121
Indeed that is how We reward the good doers
37:122
Indeed they were both among Our believing servants
37:123
And indeed Elias was one of the messengers
37:124
When he said to his people: would you not be cautious (of God)
37:125
do you call on Baal and you abandon best of the creators
37:126
God is your Master and Master of your forefathers
37:127
So they denied him, therefore they are brought (to the punishment)
37:128
except God's devoted servants
37:129
And We left for him (a good name) among the later ones
37:130
Peace (and well-being) on El Yasin (or Elias)
37:131
Indeed that is how We reward the good doers
37:132
Indeed he was among Our believing servants
37:133
And indeed Lot was one of the messengers
37:134
When We saved him and his family altogether
37:135
Except an old woman (his wife who was) among those staying behind
37:136
Then We destroyed the others
37:137
And indeed you pass by them in the mornin
37:138
and by the night. Do you not understand
37:139
And indeed Jonah was one of the messengers
37:140
When he ran away to the loaded ship
37:141
Then he drew lots and he was of those proven false
37:142
So the whale swallowed him, and he was to blame
37:143
And if he was not among those who glorify (God),
37:144
he would have remained in its belly until the day of rising
37:145
So We threw him on the bare shore while he was sick
37:146
And We made a plant of squash grew over him
37:147
And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more (people)
37:148
And they believed, so We let them enjoy for a while
37:149
So ask their opinion: are the daughters for your Master, and the sons for them
37:150
Or did We create the angels as females, and they were witnesses
37:151
Know that, indeed they say as part of their lies
37:152
God fathered (children). And they are certainly liars
37:153
Did He choose the daughters over the sons
37:154
What is with you? How do you judge
37:155
Do you not take notice
37:156
Or do you have a clear reason
37:157
Then bring your book (document), if you are truthful
37:158
And they put a relationship between Him and the Jinn, while the Jinn have certainly known that they shall be brought (to punishment)
37:159
God is flawless (and beyond) what they describe
37:160
except God's devoted servants (who are saved from punishment)
37:161
So indeed you and what you serve
37:162
you are not able to mislead any one (of God's devoted servants)
37:163
except someone who enters (and burns in) the hellfire.
37:164
And (the angels say): no one is from us unless he has a known position
37:165
and we are certainly those lined up in rows
37:166
and we are certainly those who glorify (God)
37:167
And they (the disbelievers) were certainly saying
37:168
indeed if we had a reminder (or a scripture) from the earlier ones with us
37:169
we would have certainly been of God's devoted servants
37:170
And they disbelieved in it (Quran), so they will know
37:171
And Our word already went out to Our servants, the messengers
37:172
that they are certainly helped
37:173
and indeed Our troops are the winners
37:174
So turn away from them for a while
37:175
and see them, for they will see
37:176
Do they want Our punishment in a hurry
37:177
Then when it comes down to their courtyard, it is a bad morning for those who were warned
37:178
And turn away from them for a while
37:179
and see, for they will see
37:180
Your Master, the Master of power (and honor), is flawless (and He is beyond) what they describe
37:181
And peace (and well-being) upon the messengers
37:182
And all praise belongs to God, Master of humankind
