| | Hasan Al-Fatih Qaribullah rendition of Surah Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers(as-Saffat)
--- |
|---|
| 37:1 | | By the aligners (angels) aligning |
| 37:2 | | and the drivers driving |
| 37:3 | | and those who recite the Remembranc |
| 37:4 | | surely, your God is One |
| 37:5 | | the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them; the Lord of the Easts |
| 37:6 | | We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets |
| 37:7 | | a protection against every rebel satan |
| 37:8 | | so they cannot listen to the High Assembly, for they are pelted from every side |
| 37:9 | | They are rejected and theirs is an everlasting punishment |
| 37:10 | | except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame |
| 37:11 | | So ask them, are they stronger in constitution, or those whom We have created. We have created them of sticky clay |
| 37:12 | | No, you marvel, while they scoff |
| 37:13 | | When they are reminded, they do not remember |
| 37:14 | | When they are shown a sign, they scoff at i |
| 37:15 | | and say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery! |
| 37:16 | | What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected |
| 37:17 | | What, and our forefathers, the ancients! |
| 37:18 | | Say: 'Yes, but worthless. |
| 37:19 | | It will be but one Shout, then see, they are watchin |
| 37:20 | | and they will say: 'Woe for us. This is the Day of Recompense. |
| 37:21 | | This is the Day of Decision which you belied |
| 37:22 | | Gather together the evildoers, their wives, and that they were worshipping |
| 37:23 | | other than Allah, and guide them to the Path of Hell |
| 37:24 | | And halt them so that they may be questioned |
| 37:25 | | 'Why do you not help one another |
| 37:26 | | No, today they will resign themselves in submission |
| 37:27 | | and approach each other with questions |
| 37:28 | | saying: 'You used to come to us from the right hand. |
| 37:29 | | But they reply: 'Rather, you were not believers |
| 37:30 | | We had no authority over you, but you were an insolent nation |
| 37:31 | | The statement of Our Lord is realized against us, and we are tasting it |
| 37:32 | | we perverted you, indeed, we were perverts. |
| 37:33 | | Therefore, on that Day they will all share Our punishment |
| 37:34 | | As such We shall deal with the evildoers |
| 37:35 | | For when it was said to them: 'There is no god except Allah, ' they were always prou |
| 37:36 | | and said: 'Are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet? |
| 37:37 | | No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers |
| 37:38 | | You shall certainly taste the painful punishment |
| 37:39 | | but you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing |
| 37:40 | | But for the sincere worshipers of Allah |
| 37:41 | | there is waiting for them a known provision |
| 37:42 | | fruits. And they are receivers of generosit |
| 37:43 | | in the Gardens of Delight |
| 37:44 | | sitting face to face upon couches |
| 37:45 | | a goblet from a spring shall be passed round to the |
| 37:46 | | white, a delight to the drinkers |
| 37:47 | | there is neither sickness in it, nor intoxication |
| 37:48 | | And with them will be maidens (houris) who restrain their wide glance |
| 37:49 | | as if they were hidden pearls |
| 37:50 | | They will go to one another asking each other questions |
| 37:51 | | One of them will say: 'I had a companio |
| 37:52 | | who would say: "Are you among the believers (of the resurrection) |
| 37:53 | | When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be recompensed?" |
| 37:54 | | And he will reply: 'Are you looking down (into Hell)? |
| 37:55 | | Then, he will look and see him in the midst of Hell |
| 37:56 | | 'By Allah, ' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me |
| 37:57 | | But for the Favor of Allah I should have surely been among those who were arraigned (with you in Hell) |
| 37:58 | | What then, shall we not di |
| 37:59 | | except our first death, and shall we not be punished? |
| 37:60 | | Indeed, this is the mighty victory |
| 37:61 | | and for the like of this let the workers work |
| 37:62 | | Is this a better hospitality or the tree of AzZakkum |
| 37:63 | | We have made this (tree) a trial for the evildoers |
| 37:64 | | It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell |
| 37:65 | | its spathes are like the heads of satan |
| 37:66 | | on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies |
| 37:67 | | On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water |
| 37:68 | | then their return is to Hell |
| 37:69 | | They found their fathers in error |
| 37:70 | | yet they run in their footsteps |
| 37:71 | | yet before them most of the ancients went astray |
| 37:72 | | though We had sent among them warners |
| 37:73 | | See then the end of those who were warned |
| 37:74 | | except the sincere worshipers of Allah |
| 37:75 | | Noah called to Us, and We are the Best to answer |
| 37:76 | | We saved him and his people from the great distress |
| 37:77 | | and We made his offspring the survivors |
| 37:78 | | And We let it remain upon him in the latter |
| 37:79 | | 'Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds. |
| 37:80 | | As such We recompense the gooddoers |
| 37:81 | | he was one of Our believing worshipers |
| 37:82 | | Afterwards We drowned the others |
| 37:83 | | Of his party was Abraham |
| 37:84 | | (Remember when) he came to his Lord with a pure heart |
| 37:85 | | and when he said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship |
| 37:86 | | It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah |
| 37:87 | | What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds? |
| 37:88 | | He cast a glance at the star |
| 37:89 | | and said: 'Surely, I am sick (of what you worship)! |
| 37:90 | | But they turned their backs and went away from him |
| 37:91 | | Then he turned to their gods, and said: 'What do you eat |
| 37:92 | | What is the matter with you, that you do not speak? |
| 37:93 | | And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand |
| 37:94 | | Thereafter they (the people) came to him in haste |
| 37:95 | | He said: 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carve |
| 37:96 | | when it is Allah who created you and all that you do? |
| 37:97 | | They replied: 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire. |
| 37:98 | | Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the humiliated |
| 37:99 | | He said: 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me |
| 37:100 | | My Lord, grant me a righteous (son). |
| 37:101 | | And We gave him the glad tidings of a very gentle son (Ishmael) |
| 37:102 | | And when he reached the age of traveling with him, he said: 'My son, while I was sleeping I saw that I shall slaughter (sacrifice) you, tell me what is your opinion. ' He replied: 'Father, do as you are ordered (by Allah). Allah willing, you shall find me one of those who are steadfast. |
| 37:103 | | And when they had both submitted, and his son had laid down prostrate upon his forehead |
| 37:104 | | We called to him, saying: 'O Abraham |
| 37:105 | | you have confirmed your vision. ' As such We recompense the gooddoers |
| 37:106 | | That was indeed a clear trial |
| 37:107 | | So, We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice |
| 37:108 | | and We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations) |
| 37:109 | | 'Peace be upon Abraham! |
| 37:110 | | As such We recompense the gooddoers |
| 37:111 | | He was one of Our believing worshipers |
| 37:112 | | Then, We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the righteous |
| 37:113 | | and We blessed him and Isaac, and from their offspring are some gooddoers, and others who clearly wronged themselves |
| 37:114 | | We also favored Moses and Aaro |
| 37:115 | | and We saved them with their nation from a great distress |
| 37:116 | | We helped them, and they became victorious |
| 37:117 | | and We gave them the Clear Book |
| 37:118 | | and guided them upon the Straight Path |
| 37:119 | | And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon on both of them in the latter (generations) |
| 37:120 | | 'Peace be upon Moses and Aaron! |
| 37:121 | | As such We recompense the gooddoers |
| 37:122 | | They were among Our believing worshipers |
| 37:123 | | And Elias (El Yaseen) was among the Messengers |
| 37:124 | | He asked his people: 'Do you not fear (Allah) |
| 37:125 | | Do you call on Ba'lan (the idol Baal) and abandon the Best Creator |
| 37:126 | | Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients. |
| 37:127 | | But they belied him, so they will be among the arraigned (in Hell) |
| 37:128 | | except the sincere worshipers of Allah |
| 37:129 | | And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations) |
| 37:130 | | 'Peace be upon El Yaseen! |
| 37:131 | | As such We recompense the gooddoers |
| 37:132 | | He was among Our believing worshipers |
| 37:133 | | Lot, too, was among the Messengers |
| 37:134 | | We saved him and all his kinsmen |
| 37:135 | | except an old woman who lingered |
| 37:136 | | and We destroyed the others |
| 37:137 | | You pass by them in the mornin |
| 37:138 | | and at night, will you not understand |
| 37:139 | | Jonah, too, was one of the Messengers |
| 37:140 | | He ran away to the laden ship |
| 37:141 | | and cast lots, and he was among the losers (of the lots that were cast) |
| 37:142 | | So the whale swallowed him, for he was blameworthy |
| 37:143 | | and had he not been among those who exalt (Allah) |
| 37:144 | | he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are resurrected |
| 37:145 | | But We cast him, upon the shore, and he was ill |
| 37:146 | | and We caused a pumpkin tree to grow over him |
| 37:147 | | Then We sent him to a hundred thousand or more |
| 37:148 | | and they believed, and We gave them enjoyment for awhile |
| 37:149 | | Now, ask them, has your Lord daughters, and they sons |
| 37:150 | | Or, did We create the angels females while they were witnessing |
| 37:151 | | Then is it of their lying that they say |
| 37:152 | | 'Allah has begotten? ' They are truly liars |
| 37:153 | | Has He chosen daughters above sons |
| 37:154 | | What is the matter with you? How do you judge |
| 37:155 | | What, will you not remember |
| 37:156 | | Or, do you have a clear authority |
| 37:157 | | Bring your Book, if what you say is true |
| 37:158 | | They assert kinship between Him and the angels. But the angels know that they (the liars) will be arraigned (in Hell) |
| 37:159 | | Exaltations to Allah above what they describe |
| 37:160 | | except for the sincere worshipers of Allah |
| 37:161 | | But as for you, and that you worship |
| 37:162 | | you shall tempt none against Hi |
| 37:163 | | except for he who shall roast in Hell |
| 37:164 | | (Gabriel said to the Prophet): 'Each of us has a known place |
| 37:165 | | We are surely those who are arranged in ranks |
| 37:166 | | And we are they who exalt (Allah). |
| 37:167 | | What, would they then say |
| 37:168 | | 'If only we had a reminder from the ancients |
| 37:169 | | we would have been sincere worshipers of Allah. |
| 37:170 | | But they disbelieve in it (the Koran), but soon they shall know |
| 37:171 | | Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers |
| 37:172 | | that they shall receive Our hel |
| 37:173 | | and Our armies shall be the victors |
| 37:174 | | So turn (away) from them for a while |
| 37:175 | | See them and soon they shall see |
| 37:176 | | What, do they seek to hasten Our punishment |
| 37:177 | | When it descends upon their courtyards, evil will be the morning of those forewarned |
| 37:178 | | So turn (away) from them for a while |
| 37:179 | | and see, soon they shall see |
| 37:180 | | Exaltations be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above that they describe |
| 37:181 | | Peace be on the Messengers |
| 37:182 | | And praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds |
