As-Sāffāt

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 1

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفّٗا

By those [angels] lined up in rows,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 2

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا

and those who drive [the clouds],

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 3

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

and those who recite Allah’s words^[1],

[1] Allah swears by three kinds of angels in these three above-mentioned verses to emphasize what comes in the next verse.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 4

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ

indeed, your God is One,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 5

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ

Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the points of sunrise.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 6

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ

We have adorned the sky with the beauty of the stars,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 7

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ

and for safeguarding it against every rebellious devil,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 8

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ

so that they cannot eavesdrop on the highest assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side^[2]

[2] By meteors.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 9

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ

to repel them; and for them there will be a perpetual punishment,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 10

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ

except who stealthily snatches away some words, he will be pursued by a piercing flame.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 11

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ

So ask them, “Are they more difficult to create or other things We created? We created them^[3] from sticky clay.

[3] i.e., their father Adam.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 12

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ

Rather you are astonished, while they ridicule it,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 13

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ

and when they are reminded, they pay no heed,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 14

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

and when they see a sign, they ridicule it,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 15

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ

and they say, “This is nothing but clear magic.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 16

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

Is it that when we are dead and become dust and bones, will we really be raised up again,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 17

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

and our forefathers too?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 18

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

Say, “Yes, and you will be disgraced.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 19

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

It will only be a single Blast^[4], and at once they will be looking around.

[4] i.e., the second blow of the Trumpet.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 20

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They will say, “Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 21

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

[They will be told], “This is the Day of Decision that you used to deny.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 22

۞ ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ

[The angels will be told], “Gather all those who did wrong and their fellows^[5], and whatever they used to worship

[5] In wrongdoing or evil deeds.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 23

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

besides Allah, and lead them to the way of Hell,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 24

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ

and stop them, for they are to be questioned.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 25

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

[They will be asked], “What is the matter with you, that you no longer help one another?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 26

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ

Rather on that Day they will surrender completely.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 27

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

They will turn to one another, reproaching one another.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 28

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

[The followers] will say, “It was you who used to delude us from the right way^[6].”

[6] Or you used to pressure us, or deceived us with false oaths, or claimed to have the truth.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 29

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

[The misleaders] will say, “Rather, you yourselves were not believers,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 30

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ

and We had no power over you, rather you yourselves were a transgressing people.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 31

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

Now the punishment of our Lord has come true against us; we will surely taste it.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 32

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

We did misguide you, for we ourselves were misguided”.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 33

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ

On that Day they will all share in the punishment.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 34

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

This is how We deal with the wicked,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 35

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

for whenever it was said to them, “None has the right to be worshiped except Allah,” they became arrogant,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 36

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ

and said, “Are we going to abandon our gods for a mad poet^[7]?”

[7] They mean the Prophet (ﷺ).

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 37

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Rather, he came with the truth and confirmed the messengers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 38

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ

You will surely taste the painful punishment,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 39

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

and you will only be recompensed for what you used to do,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 40

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 41

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

They will have a known provision,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 42

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ

fruits^[8]; and they will be honored

[8] i.e., everything delicious that they desire.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 43

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in Gardens of Bliss,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 44

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

facing one another^[9] on couches.

[9] It implies that they will not harbor ill feelings toward one another.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 45

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ

They will be served with a cup of wine from a flowing stream,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 46

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

white and delicious for those who drink.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 47

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ

It will cause no harm, nor will they be intoxicated by it,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 48

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

and with them will be maidens of modest gaze^[10] and beautiful eyes,

[10] i.e., chaste and bashful, looking only at their mates.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 49

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

as if they were well-protected eggs^[11].

[11] Or pristine pearls.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 50

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Then they will turn to one another asking^[12].

[12] Of their lives in the world and what led them to Paradise.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 51

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

One of them will say, “I had a close friend [in the world]

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 52

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

who used to say^[13], ‘Are you one of those who believe

[13] Mockingly.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 53

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

that when we die and become dust and bones, shall we be brought for judgment?’”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 54

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He will say^[14], “Do you wish to see [his fate]?”

[14] To his companions in Paradise.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 55

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

So he will look down and see him^[15] in the midst of the Blazing Fire.

[15] His close friend who tried to dissuade him from faith.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 56

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

He will say, “By Allah, you were about to ruin me.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 57

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among those who are brought [to Hell].”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 58

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

[He will say to his fellow believers], “Are we not going to die anymore,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 59

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

except for our first death, nor are we going to be punished?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 60

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

This is indeed the supreme triumph!

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 61

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ

For such [reward] let the workers work.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 62

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Is this a better accommodation or the tree of Zaqqūm^[16]?^[17]

[16] The tree of cactus.
[17] The disbelievers of Makkah derided the Prophet (ﷺ) when he warned them of this tree. They wondered how a tree could grow in Hellfire. So Allah revealed this verse.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 63

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 64

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

It is a tree that grows in the bottom of the Blazing Fire;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 65

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

its fruits are like heads of devils.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

They will certainly eat from it, filling their bellies.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

Then on top of that they will be given a mixture of scalding water,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 68

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

then their final return will be to the Blazing Fire.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

For they found their forefathers astray,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

so they rushed to follow in their footsteps.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Indeed, most of the earlier people went astray before them,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

even though We sent among them warners.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Then see how was the end of those who were warned,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

Indeed, Noah called upon Us; how excellent are We at responding!

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

And We saved him and his household^[18] from the great distress,

[18] i.e., the believers in his household.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

and made his offspring^[19] the only survivors,

[19] i.e., Noah’s offspring: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

“Peace be upon Noah among all the nations.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then we drowned the others.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Indeed, Abraham was one of those who followed his way.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshiping?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

Is it false gods that you seek other than Allah?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Then what do you think of the Lord of the worlds?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

He then cast a glance at the stars^[20],

[20] His people had faith in astrology, so Abraham pretended to do the same to show them that he was not able to join them at their pagan feast and to remain in their temple of idols, while he was planning to destroy their idols.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

and said, “I am sick^[21].”

[21] The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Ibrahim (peace be upon him) did not lie except for three lies: His saying {I am sick} and his saying {Rather, the chief of them did this} and his saying about his wife, “She is my sister.” [Al-Bukhāri, Muslim]. Two of them were for the sake of Allah, and the third one was for the sake of his sister.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

So they went away from him and left.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

Then he turned to their gods and said, “Why do you not eat^[22]?

[22] The offerings placed before you.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

What is wrong with you that you do not speak?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Then he turned upon them, striking them with his right hand.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Then his people came rushing towards him.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

He said, “Do you worship what you yourselves carve,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

when it is Allah Who created you and all what you do?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

They said, “Build a pyre for him and throw him into the blazing fire.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

They contrived a plan against him, but We made them the lowest.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 99

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

He said, “I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

My Lord, grant me righteous offspring.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

So We gave him glad tidings of a forbearing boy^[23].

[23] i.e., Ishmael

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

Then when he reached the age where he could work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice you. What do you think?” He said, “O my dear father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, one of the steadfast.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

When they both submitted [to Allah’s command] and Abraham laid him on his forehead,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

and We called out to him, “O Abraham,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

You have fulfilled the dream.” This is how We reward those who do good.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

This was indeed a revealing test.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice^[24],

[24] Allah Almighty sent a ram to be sacrificed in place of Ishmael.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

“Peace be upon Abraham.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

And We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac^[25], a prophet, and one of the righteous.

[25] The birth of Isaac is mentioned after the story of sacrifice, which verifies that the firstborn son who was sacrificed was indeed Ishmael and not Isaac, contrary to what is claimed by the Jews and Christians. This is also supported by 11:71, where Sarah is told that she would give birth to Isaac, who would have a son by the name of Jacob.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

We blessed him^[26] and Isaac, but among their offspring were some who did good and some who clearly wronged themselves.

[26] Abraham or Ishmael.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Indeed, We bestowed Our favor upon Moses and Aaron,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

and We saved them and their people from the great distress^[27],

[27] Of enslavement at the hands of Pharaoh and his people, as well as of drowning.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

and We helped them, so they were victorious,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

and We gave them both the clear Scripture,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

and guided them to the straight path;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and We left for them [a favorable mention] among later generations:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

“Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

They were truly of Our believing slaves.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Elijah was indeed one of the messengers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When he said to his people: “Do you not fear Allah?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

Do you call upon Ba‘l^[28] and ignore the Best of the Creators,

[28] A great idol worshiped by the people.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

But they rejected him, so they will surely be brought [for punishment],

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

except the chosen slaves of Allah.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And We left for him [a favorable mention] among later generations:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

“Peace be upon Elias.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

This is how We reward those who do good.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing slaves.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Lot was indeed one of the messengers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

When We saved him and all of his household,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

except an old woman^[29] who was among those who stayed behind.

[29] Lot’s wife, who was not a believer.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then We destroyed the rest.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

You [Makkans] pass by their ruins by day

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

and by night. Do you still not understand?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Jonah was indeed one of the messengers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

When he fled to the fully laden ship,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

then he cast lots^[30] with them, but was among those who lost.

[30] To determine who would be cast overboard in order to save the rest of the passengers; the ship was about to sink, for it was overloaded.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

The whale then swallowed him while he was blameworthy^[31].

[31] For leaving his people without Allah’s permission.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

Were it not for the fact that he was one of those who glorify Allah,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection^[32].

[32] The belly of the fish would have turned to be his grave.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

But We cast him ashore on a barren land while he was ill,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

and caused a gourd vine^[33] to grow over him.

[33] For its cooling shade and as food for him.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

We sent him^[34] to one hundred thousand people or more,

[34] i.e., We sent him thereafter to his people.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

and they believed, so We let them enjoy for a while.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

So ask them, “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?”^[35]

[35] The pagans of Makkah claimed that angels were Allah’s daughters, while preferring sons for themselves.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

Or did We create the angels as females while they were watching?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

No indeed, it is one of their fabrications when they say,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

“Allah has children,” and they are truly liars.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

Did He choose daughters over sons^[36]?

[36] i.e., daughters that you hate over sons that you like?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Will you not then take heed?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

Do you have any compelling proof?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then bring your scripture, if you are truthful.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

They claim that there is a kinship between Him and the jinn^[37], when the jinn themselves know that such people will surely be brought [for punishment].

[37] It was claimed by some Arab pagans that angels are daughters of Allah through female jinn.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Glorified is Allah far above what they ascribe [to Him].

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

But not the chosen slaves of Allah^[38].

[38] Who do not ascribe to Allah such false claims.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

So you and whatever you worship

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

none of you can lure anyone away from Him,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

except those who are destined to burn in the Blazing Fire^[39].

[39] Due to their disbelief and evil deeds.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

[The angels say]^[40], “There is none among us but has a known station^[41]:

[40] Refuting the disbelievers’ false claims about them.
[41] In worshiping Allah and obeying Him in our assigned tasks.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

We are indeed those who stand lined up in rows,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

and we are indeed those who glorify Allah.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

And [the pagans] used to say^[42],

[42] Before the revelation of the Qur’an.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

“If only we had a scripture^[43] like the previous people,

[43] Such as the Torah and the Gospel.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

we would have surely been true slaves of Allah.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

But they rejected it^[44]; soon they will come to know.

[44] i.e., their own message, the Qur’an.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Our Word has already been given to Our slaves, the messengers,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

that it is surely they who will be given victory,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

and that Our soldiers will surely be the victors.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

So turn away from them for a while.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Wait and see; soon they will see [their end].

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Do they really seek to hasten Our punishment?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

When it^[45] descends on their courtyard, how terrible will be the morning of those who were warned!

[45] Allah’s punishment.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

And turn away from them for a while.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Wait and see; soon they will see [their end].

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, far above what they ascribe [to Him],

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

and peace be upon the messengers,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

and all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
