| | Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli rendition of Surah Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers(as-Saffat)
--- |
|---|
| 37:1 | | By those who range themselves in ranks, |
| 37:2 | | And those who drive away (the evils and temptations) with reproof, |
| 37:3 | | And the reciters of a Remembrance (Qur ?n), |
| 37:4 | | Verily your God is One, |
| 37:5 | | Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, and Lord of the rising-places (of sun). |
| 37:6 | | Verily We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars. |
| 37:7 | | And to preserve against every rebel Satan; |
| 37:8 | | They cannot listen to (the secrets of) the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side, |
| 37:9 | | (To be) driven off, and for them is an everlasting chastisement, |
| 37:10 | | Except him who snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame. |
| 37:11 | | Then ask their opinion whether they are stronger in creation or (the others) whom we have created. Verily We created them of a sticky clay. |
| 37:12 | | Nay! you wonder while they mock. |
| 37:13 | | When they are admonished, they mind not, |
| 37:14 | | And when they see a sign (miracle) they invite one another to scuff, |
| 37:15 | | And they say: This is nothing but an open sorcery. |
| 37:16 | | (They say:) When we are dead and have become dust and (rotten) bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)? |
| 37:17 | | And also our forefathers? |
| 37:18 | | Say: Yes, (you all shall be raised) while you will be brought low . |
| 37:19 | | Then it (the Resurrection) will only be a single cry, and behold, they begin to see (the scene of Hereafter)! |
| 37:20 | | And they shall say: Woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment. |
| 37:21 | | (They will be told:) This is the Day of Separation (of right and wrong), which you used to belie. |
| 37:22 | | (And Allah will command the angels:) Gather you together those who were unjust and their mates and what they used to worship, |
| 37:23 | | Besides Allah, and lead them (all) unto the path of Hell . |
| 37:24 | | And stop them, for verily they must be questioned: |
| 37:25 | | (They will be told:) How now, that you help not one another? |
| 37:26 | | Nay! this day they make full submission. |
| 37:27 | | And some of them shall turn to the others questioning each other. |
| 37:28 | | They will say: Verily you used to come unto us, from the right side. |
| 37:29 | | They answer: Nay! you (yourselves) were not believers. |
| 37:30 | | And there was not for us any authority over you. Nay! You were a rebellious people! |
| 37:31 | | So, now the word of our Lord has been proved against us that verily we shall taste (the chastisement). |
| 37:32 | | So we misled you, for verily we were ourselves astray. |
| 37:33 | | So verily they (both) on that Day are sharers in the (Divine) chastisement. |
| 37:34 | | Verily thus do We deal with the guilty. |
| 37:35 | | Verily they used to be proud when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah . |
| 37:36 | | And said: Shall we give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet? |
| 37:37 | | Nay: he has come with the Truth and verified the (former) messengers. |
| 37:38 | | Verily you will taste the painful punishment, (too). |
| 37:39 | | And you are not requited except (for) what you were doing. |
| 37:40 | | Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones, |
| 37:41 | | For them is a known sustenance, |
| 37:42 | | (Kinds of) fruits, and they shall be highly honoured, |
| 37:43 | | In the gardens bountiful, |
| 37:44 | | Upon thrones facing each other. |
| 37:45 | | Round will go unto them a cup (of wine) from a clear spring, |
| 37:46 | | Crystal-white, delicious to the drinkers, |
| 37:47 | | Free from headiness, nor will they suffer intoxication from it. |
| 37:48 | | And with them will be chaste women; restraining their glances, |
| 37:49 | | As if they were (as white as) eggs (secured) hidden. |
| 37:50 | | Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other. |
| 37:51 | | One of them will say: Verily I had an intimate companion (in the world), |
| 37:52 | | Who used to say: Are you really among the believers (of Hereafter)? |
| 37:53 | | When we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then in fact be brought in account? |
| 37:54 | | He says: Can you take a look? |
| 37:55 | | Then he looks and sees him in the midst of Hell. |
| 37:56 | | He says: By Allah! You had almost caused me to perish; |
| 37:57 | | And had it not been the bounty of my Lord, certainly would I have been brought into (the Hell) . |
| 37:58 | | Is it that we do not die, |
| 37:59 | | Save our first death; and we shall not be chastised? |
| 37:60 | | Verily this is the mighty triumph, |
| 37:61 | | And for the like of this let the workers work. |
| 37:62 | | Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqq?m? |
| 37:63 | | Verily We have appointed it as a trial for the unjust. |
| 37:64 | | Verily, it is a tree that grows in the bottom of the Hell. |
| 37:65 | | The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils, |
| 37:66 | | Then verily they eat from it and fill (their bellies with it. |
| 37:67 | | Then verily on Top of it they will have a mixture made of boiling water. |
| 37:68 | | Then verily their return shall be unto the Hell. |
| 37:69 | | Verily they found their fathers on the wrong path. |
| 37:70 | | So in their footsteps they are being hastened on. |
| 37:71 | | And indeed most of the ancient 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 indeed Noah did call upon Us, and the most excellent answerer (of prayer are We). |
| 37:76 | | And We delivered him and his people from the great distress, |
| 37:77 | | And We made (only) his progeny the survivors. |
| 37:78 | | And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations. |
| 37:79 | | Peace be on Noah among the nations. |
| 37:80 | | Verily thus do We recompense the doers of good. |
| 37:81 | | Verily he was (one) of Our faithful servants. |
| 37:82 | | Then We drowned the others. |
| 37:83 | | And verily Abraham was of his persuasion. |
| 37:84 | | When he came unto his Lord with a sound (pure) heart. |
| 37:85 | | When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship? |
| 37:86 | | Is it a falsehood gods other than Allah that you desire? |
| 37:87 | | What is then your idea about the Lord of the Worlds? |
| 37:88 | | Then he glanced, casting glance at the stars, |
| 37:89 | | Then he said: Verily I am sick (and I cannot participate in your festival). |
| 37:90 | | So they went away from him, turning back. |
| 37:91 | | Then he turned unto their gods secretly and (mockingly) said: Why do you not eat? |
| 37:92 | | What is the matter with you that you do not speak? |
| 37:93 | | Then he turned against them in secret, striking (them) with the right hand. |
| 37:94 | | So they (people) advanced towards him hastening. |
| 37:95 | | He said: Do you worship what you (yourselves) hew out? |
| 37:96 | | While 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 | | So they desired a plot against him, but We made them lower ones. |
| 37:99 | | And he said: Verily, I am going unto my Lord, He will guide me . |
| 37:100 | | My Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)! |
| 37:101 | | So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy, |
| 37:102 | | And when he (the son) reached (the age of working) with him he said: O my son! Verily I see in a dream that I shall sacrifice you. Now see what is your view. He said: O my father! Do what you are commanded; you will find me, Allah willing, of the patient ones . |
| 37:103 | | So when they both submitted (to Our command) and he (Abraham) laid him (the son) prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), |
| 37:104 | | And We called out to him: O Abraham! |
| 37:105 | | Indeed you have proved true the dream; verily thus do We reward the doers of good! |
| 37:106 | | This is indeed the manifest trial. |
| 37:107 | | And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice. |
| 37:108 | | And We left (praise) for him among generations (to come) in later times. |
| 37:109 | | Peace be on Abraham. |
| 37:110 | | Thus do We recompense the doers of good, |
| 37:111 | | Verily he was (one) of Our believing servants. |
| 37:112 | | And We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a prophet among the righteous ones. |
| 37:113 | | And We bestowed Our blessings on him and on Isaac, and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own selves. |
| 37:114 | | We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron. |
| 37:115 | | And We delivered them both and their people from the great distress. |
| 37:116 | | And We helped them so that they were the victors (over their enemies). |
| 37:117 | | And We gave them both the Book making things clear. |
| 37:118 | | And We guided them both on the right way. |
| 37:119 | | And We left (praise) for them both among the later generations. |
| 37:120 | | Peace be on Moses and Aaron. |
| 37:121 | | Verily thus do We reward the doers of good. |
| 37:122 | | Verily they were both of Our faithful servants, |
| 37:123 | | And verily Ely?s was of the apostles. |
| 37:124 | | When he said to his people: Will you not be in owe (of Allah)? |
| 37:125 | | Do you call on Ba l and abandon the best of the creators? |
| 37:126 | | Allah is your Lord and the Lord of fathers of old. |
| 37:127 | | But they belied him, therefore they shall certainly be brought (to Hell). |
| 37:128 | | Except for Allah s sincere servants; |
| 37:129 | | And We left (praise) for him among the later generations. |
| 37:130 | | Peace be on Ily?sin (Ely?s). |
| 37:131 | | Verily thus do We reward the doers of good. |
| 37:132 | | Verily he was (one) of Our faithful servants. |
| 37:137 | | And verily you pass by them in the morning. |
| 37:138 | | And at night; do you not then understand? |
| 37:139 | | Verily Jonah was (one) of the Envoys, |
| 37:140 | | When he ran away to the laden ship. |
| 37:141 | | So he cast lots, and was of the rebutted, |
| 37:142 | | Then the fish swallowed him while he blamed himself; |
| 37:143 | | So had he not been of those that glorify Allah, |
| 37:144 | | He would have tarried in its belly until the Day of Resurrection |
| 37:145 | | But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick, |
| 37:146 | | And We caused to grow over him a plant of gourds. |
| 37:147 | | And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or more. |
| 37:148 | | And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a while. |
| 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 | | Beware! Verily it is of their own lie that they say. |
| 37:152 | | Allah has begotten, and verily they are liars. |
| 37:153 | | Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons? |
| 37:154 | | What has happened to you, how is it that you judge? |
| 37:155 | | Will you not then receive admonition? |
| 37:156 | | Or have you a clear authority? |
| 37:157 | | Then bring your book if you are truthful. |
| 37:158 | | And they have set up a kinship between Him and the jinn, while the jinn know (quite well) that they shall surely be brought up (to account). |
| 37:159 | | Glory be to Allah! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)! |
| 37:160 | | Except for Allah s sincere servants. |
| 37:161 | | So verily you and what you worship, |
| 37:162 | | Can never excite (anyone) against Him. |
| 37:163 | | Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire. |
| 37:164 | | And (the angels say:) There is not (any one) of us, but for him is an assigned place, |
| 37:165 | | And verily we are they who range ourselves in order. |
| 37:166 | | And verily we are they who celebrate His glory. |
| 37:167 | | And verily they used to say: |
| 37:168 | | If we had had but a reminder from the men of old. |
| 37:169 | | We would certainly have been Allah s sincere servants. |
| 37:170 | | Then they disbelieved in it, so soon they will know. |
| 37:171 | | And certainly Our word has already gone forth for Our servants, the apostles: |
| 37:172 | | Verily they shall be the assisted ones. |
| 37:173 | | And verily Our host alone shall be the victorious ones. |
| 37:174 | | So turn you away from them for a time, |
| 37:175 | | And see them, for they soon shall see (their retribution) |
| 37:176 | | Do they seek to hasten Our chastisement? |
| 37:177 | | But when it shall descend in their courtyard, how evil will be the morning of them that are warned! |
| 37:178 | | And turn you away from them for a time. |
| 37:179 | | And see you, for they shall soon see (their fate). |
| 37:180 | | Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honour, far above that which they ascribe (unto Him). |
| 37:181 | | And peace be upon the messengers, |
| 37:182 | | And (all) praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. |
