| | Shakir rendition of Surah Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers(as-Saffat)
--- |
|---|
| 37:1 | | I swear by those who draw themselves out in rank |
| 37:2 | | Then those who drive away with reproof |
| 37:3 | | Then those who recite, being mindful |
| 37:4 | | Most surely your Allah is One |
| 37:5 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts |
| 37:6 | | Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars |
| 37:7 | | And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan |
| 37:8 | | They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side |
| 37:9 | | Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement |
| 37:10 | | Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame |
| 37:11 | | Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay |
| 37:12 | | Nay! you wonder while they mock |
| 37:13 | | And when they are reminded, they mind not |
| 37:14 | | And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff |
| 37:15 | | And they say: This is nothing but clear magic |
| 37:16 | | What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised |
| 37:17 | | Or our fathers of yore |
| 37:18 | | Say: Aye! and you shall be abject |
| 37:19 | | So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see |
| 37:20 | | And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital |
| 37:21 | | This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie |
| 37:22 | | Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worshi |
| 37:23 | | Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell |
| 37:24 | | And stop them, for they shall be questioned |
| 37:25 | | What is the matter with you that you do not help each other |
| 37:26 | | Nay! on that day they shall be submissive |
| 37:27 | | And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other |
| 37:28 | | They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side |
| 37:29 | | They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers |
| 37:30 | | And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people |
| 37:31 | | So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste |
| 37:32 | | So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring |
| 37:33 | | So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another |
| 37:34 | | Surely thus do We deal with the guilty |
| 37:35 | | Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah |
| 37:36 | | And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet |
| 37:37 | | Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the messengers |
| 37:38 | | Most surely you will taste the painful punishment |
| 37:39 | | And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did |
| 37:40 | | Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones |
| 37:41 | | For them is a known sustenance |
| 37:42 | | Fruits, and they shall be highly honored |
| 37:43 | | In gardens of pleasure |
| 37:44 | | On thrones, facing each other |
| 37:45 | | A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs |
| 37:46 | | White, delicious to those who drink |
| 37:47 | | There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith |
| 37:48 | | And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes |
| 37:49 | | As if they were eggs carefully protected |
| 37:50 | | Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other |
| 37:51 | | A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine |
| 37:52 | | Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth) |
| 37:53 | | What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment |
| 37:54 | | He shall say: Will you look on |
| 37:55 | | Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell |
| 37:56 | | He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish |
| 37:57 | | And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up |
| 37:58 | | Is it then that we are not going to die |
| 37:59 | | Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised |
| 37:60 | | Most surely this is the mighty achievement |
| 37:61 | | For the like of this then let the workers work |
| 37:62 | | Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum |
| 37:63 | | Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust |
| 37:64 | | Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell |
| 37:65 | | Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents |
| 37:66 | | Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it |
| 37:67 | | Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water |
| 37:68 | | Then most surely their return shall be to hell |
| 37:69 | | Surely they found their fathers going astray |
| 37:70 | | So in their footsteps they are being hastened on |
| 37:71 | | And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them |
| 37:72 | | And certainly We sent among them warners |
| 37:73 | | Then see how was the end of those warned |
| 37:74 | | Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones |
| 37:75 | | And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We |
| 37:76 | | And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress |
| 37:77 | | And We made his offspring the survivors |
| 37:78 | | And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations |
| 37:79 | | Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations |
| 37:80 | | Thus do We surely reward the doers of good |
| 37:81 | | Surely he was of Our believing servants |
| 37:82 | | Then We drowned the other |
| 37:83 | | And most surely Ibrahim followed his way |
| 37:84 | | When he came to his Lord with a free heart |
| 37:85 | | When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship |
| 37:86 | | A lie-- gods besides Allah-- do you desire |
| 37:87 | | What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds |
| 37:88 | | Then he looked at the stars, looking up once |
| 37:89 | | Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these) |
| 37:90 | | So they went away from him, turning back |
| 37:91 | | Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat |
| 37:92 | | What is the matter with you that you do not speak |
| 37:93 | | Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand |
| 37:94 | | So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening |
| 37:95 | | Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out |
| 37:96 | | And Allah has created you and what you make |
| 37:97 | | They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire |
| 37:98 | | And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low |
| 37:99 | | And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me |
| 37:100 | | My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds |
| 37:101 | | So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance |
| 37:102 | | 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 |
| 37:103 | | So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead |
| 37:104 | | And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim |
| 37:105 | | You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good |
| 37:106 | | Most surely this is a manifest trial |
| 37:107 | | And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice |
| 37:108 | | And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations |
| 37:109 | | Peace be on Ibrahim |
| 37:110 | | Thus do We reward the doers of good |
| 37:111 | | Surely he was one of Our believing servants |
| 37:112 | | And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones |
| 37:113 | | 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 |
| 37:114 | | And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun |
| 37:115 | | And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress |
| 37:116 | | And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers |
| 37:117 | | And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear |
| 37:118 | | And We guided them both on the right way |
| 37:119 | | And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations |
| 37:120 | | Peace be on Musa and Haroun |
| 37:121 | | Even thus do We reward the doers of good |
| 37:122 | | Surely they were both of Our believing servants |
| 37:123 | | And Ilyas was most surely of the messengers |
| 37:124 | | When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil) |
| 37:125 | | What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators |
| 37:126 | | Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore |
| 37:127 | | But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up |
| 37:128 | | But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones |
| 37:129 | | And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations |
| 37:130 | | Peace be on Ilyas |
| 37:131 | | Even thus do We reward the doers of good |
| 37:132 | | Surely he was one of Our believing servants |
| 37:133 | | And Lut was most surely of the messengers |
| 37:134 | | When We delivered him and his followers, all- |
| 37:135 | | Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried |
| 37:136 | | Then We destroyed the others |
| 37:137 | | And most surely you pass by them in the morning |
| 37:138 | | And at night; do you not then understand |
| 37:139 | | And Yunus was most surely of the messengers |
| 37:140 | | When he ran away to a ship completely laden |
| 37:141 | | So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off |
| 37:142 | | So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himsel |
| 37:143 | | But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us) |
| 37:144 | | He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised |
| 37:145 | | Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick |
| 37:146 | | And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant |
| 37:147 | | And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded |
| 37:148 | | And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time |
| 37:149 | | Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons |
| 37:150 | | Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses |
| 37:151 | | Now surely it is of their own lie that they say |
| 37:152 | | Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars |
| 37:153 | | Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons |
| 37:154 | | What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge |
| 37:155 | | Will you not then mind |
| 37:156 | | Or have you a clear authority |
| 37:157 | | Then bring your book, if you are truthful |
| 37:158 | | And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up |
| 37:159 | | Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe |
| 37:160 | | But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones |
| 37:161 | | So surely you and what you worship |
| 37:162 | | Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial |
| 37:163 | | Save him who will go to hell |
| 37:164 | | And there is none of us but has an assigned place |
| 37:165 | | And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks |
| 37:166 | | And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah) |
| 37:167 | | And surely they used to say |
| 37:168 | | Had we a reminder from those of yore |
| 37:169 | | We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- the purified ones |
| 37:170 | | But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know |
| 37:171 | | And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the messengers |
| 37:172 | | Most surely they shall be the assisted one |
| 37:173 | | And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones |
| 37:174 | | Therefore turn away from them till a time |
| 37:175 | | And (then) see them, so they too shall see |
| 37:176 | | What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement |
| 37:177 | | But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones |
| 37:178 | | And turn away from them till a tim |
| 37:179 | | And (then) see, for they too shall see |
| 37:180 | | Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe |
| 37:181 | | And peace be on the messengers |
| 37:182 | | And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds |
