| | Ali Bakhtiari Nejad rendition of Surah Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers(as-Saffat) --- |
---|
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 |
