ﭑﭒ ﰀ​

As-Saffat


By those who set the ranks in battle order
ﭔﭕ ﰁ​

And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
ﭗﭘ ﰂ​

And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
ﭚﭛﭜ ﰃ​

Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
ﭞﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤ ﰄ​

Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
ﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫ ﰅ​

Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱ ﰆ​

With security from every froward devil.
ﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺﭻ ﰇ​

They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
ﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁ ﰈ​

Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
ﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰉ​

Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.
ﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗ ﰊ​

Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
ﮙﮚﮛ ﰋ​

Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
ﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﰌ​

And heed not when they are reminded,
ﮢﮣﮤﮥ ﰍ​

And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
ﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬ ﰎ​

And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;
ﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕ ﰏ​

When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?
ﯗﯘ ﰐ​

And our forefathers?
ﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﰑ​

Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
ﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥ ﰒ​

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
ﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫ ﰓ​

And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
ﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﰔ​

This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
ﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼ ﰕ​

(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
ﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄ ﰖ​

Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
ﰆﰇﰈﰉ ﰗ​

And stop them, for they must be questioned.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﰘ​

What aileth you that ye help not one another?
ﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﰙ​

Nay, but this day they make full submission.
ﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﰚ​

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
ﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦ ﰛ​

They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
ﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬ ﰜ​

They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
ﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﰝ​

We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.
ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﰞ​

Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
ﮂﮃﮄﮅ ﰟ​

Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
ﮇﮈﮉﮊﮋ ﰠ​

Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
ﮍﮎﮏﮐ ﰡ​

Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
ﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛ ﰢ​

For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful
ﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢ ﰣ​

And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?
ﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨ ﰤ​

Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
ﮪﮫﮬﮭ ﰥ​

Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -
ﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕ ﰦ​

Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
ﯗﯘﯙﯚ ﰧ​

Save single-minded slaves of Allah;
ﯜﯝﯞﯟ ﰨ​

For them there is a known provision,
ﯡﯢﯣ ﰩ​

Fruits. And they will be honoured
ﯥﯦﯧ ﰪ​

In the Gardens of delight,
ﯩﯪﯫ ﰫ​

On couches facing one another;
ﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱ ﰬ​

A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
ﯳﯴﯵ ﰭ​

White, delicious to the drinkers,
ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻﯼﯽ ﰮ​

Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
ﯿﰀﰁﰂ ﰯ​

And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
ﰄﰅﰆ ﰰ​

(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
ﰈﰉﰊﰋﰌ ﰱ​

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
ﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔ ﰲ​

A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﰳ​

Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?
ﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜ ﰴ​

Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?
ﭞﭟﭠﭡ ﰵ​

He saith: Will ye look?
ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧ ﰶ​

Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
ﭩﭪﭫﭬﭭ ﰷ​

He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
ﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴ ﰸ​

And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
ﭶﭷﭸ ﰹ​

Are we then not to die
ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿ ﰺ​

Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
ﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅ ﰻ​

Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
ﮇﮈﮉﮊ ﰼ​

For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
ﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑ ﰽ​

Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
ﮓﮔﮕﮖ ﰾ​

Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
ﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜﮝ ﰿ​

Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
ﮟﮠﮡﮢ ﱀ​

Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
ﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩ ﱁ​

And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
ﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱ ﱂ​

And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
ﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﱃ​

And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
ﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﱄ​

They indeed found their fathers astray,
ﯟﯠﯡﯢ ﱅ​

But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
ﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨ ﱆ​

And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
ﯪﯫﯬﯭ ﱇ​

And verily We sent among them warners.
ﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﱈ​

Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
ﯵﯶﯷﯸ ﱉ​

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
ﯺﯻﯼﯽﯾ ﱊ​

And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
ﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄ ﱋ​

And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﱌ​

And made his seed the survivors,
ﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﱍ​

And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
ﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﱎ​

Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
ﭡﭢﭣﭤ ﱏ​

Lo! thus do We reward the good.
ﭦﭧﭨﭩ ﱐ​

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
ﭫﭬﭭ ﱑ​

Then We did drown the others.
ﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﱒ​

And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
ﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹ ﱓ​

When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
ﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﱔ​

When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
ﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆ ﱕ​

Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
ﮈﮉﮊﮋ ﱖ​

What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
ﮍﮎﮏﮐ ﱗ​

And he glanced a glance at the stars
ﮒﮓﮔ ﱘ​

Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
ﮖﮗﮘ ﱙ​

And they turned their backs and went away from him.
ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞﮟ ﱚ​

Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
ﮡﮢﮣﮤ ﱛ​

What aileth you that ye speak not?
ﮦﮧﮨﮩ ﱜ​

Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
ﮫﮬﮭ ﱝ​

And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
ﮯﮰﮱﯓ ﱞ​

He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
ﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﱟ​

When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
ﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﱠ​

They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
ﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦ ﱡ​

And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
ﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬﯭ ﱢ​

And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
ﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﱣ​

My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
ﯵﯶﯷ ﱤ​

So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
ﯹﯺﯻﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉﰊﰋﰌﰍﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔ ﱥ​

And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﱦ​

Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
ﭖﭗﭘ ﱧ​

We called unto him: O Abraham!
ﭚﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟﭠﭡ ﱨ​

Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧ ﱩ​

Lo! that verily was a clear test.
ﭩﭪﭫ ﱪ​

Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
ﭭﭮﭯﭰ ﱫ​

And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
ﭲﭳﭴ ﱬ​

Peace be unto Abraham!
ﭶﭷﭸ ﱭ​

Thus do We reward the good.
ﭺﭻﭼﭽ ﱮ​

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
ﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃ ﱯ​

And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
ﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏ ﱰ​

And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
ﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕ ﱱ​

And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
ﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛ ﱲ​

And saved them and their people from the great distress,
ﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﱳ​

And helped them so that they became the victors.
ﮢﮣﮤ ﱴ​

And We gave them the clear Scripture
ﮦﮧﮨ ﱵ​

And showed them the right path.
ﮪﮫﮬﮭ ﱶ​

And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
ﮯﮰﮱﯓ ﱷ​

Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
ﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﱸ​

Lo! thus do We reward the good.
ﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﱹ​

Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
ﯟﯠﯡﯢ ﱺ​

And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
ﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨ ﱻ​

When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﱼ​

Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﱽ​

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
ﭑﭒﭓ ﱾ​

But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
ﭕﭖﭗﭘ ﱿ​

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
ﭚﭛﭜﭝ ﲀ​

And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
ﭟﭠﭡﭢ ﲁ​

Peace be unto Elias!
ﭤﭥﭦﭧ ﲂ​

Lo! thus do We reward the good.
ﭩﭪﭫﭬ ﲃ​

Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
ﭮﭯﭰﭱ ﲄ​

And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
ﭳﭴﭵﭶ ﲅ​

When We saved him and his household, every one,
ﭸﭹﭺﭻ ﲆ​

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
ﭽﭾﭿ ﲇ​

Then We destroyed the others.
ﮁﮂﮃﮄ ﲈ​

And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
ﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﲉ​

And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
ﮋﮌﮍﮎ ﲊ​

And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
ﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔ ﲋ​

When he fled unto the laden ship,
ﮖﮗﮘﮙ ﲌ​

And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
ﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﲍ​

And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
ﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤ ﲎ​

And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫ ﲏ​

He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
ﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱ ﲐ​

Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
ﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﲑ​

And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
ﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟ ﲒ​

And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
ﯡﯢﯣﯤ ﲓ​

And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
ﯦﯧﯨﯩﯪ ﲔ​

Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
ﯬﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱ ﲕ​

Or created We the angels females while they were present?
ﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷ ﲖ​

Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
ﯹﯺﯻﯼ ﲗ​

Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
ﯾﯿﰀﰁ ﲘ​

(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ ﲙ​

What aileth you? How judge ye?
ﭖﭗ ﲚ​

Will ye not then reflect?
ﭙﭚﭛﭜ ﲛ​

Or have ye a clear warrant?
ﭞﭟﭠﭡﭢ ﲜ​

Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
ﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮ ﲝ​

And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
ﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﲞ​

Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
ﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﲟ​

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
ﭺﭻﭼ ﲠ​

Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
ﭾﭿﮀﮁ ﲡ​

Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
ﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇ ﲢ​

Save him who is to burn in hell.
ﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍﮎ ﲣ​

There is not one of us but hath his known position.
ﮐﮑﮒ ﲤ​

Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
ﮔﮕﮖ ﲥ​

Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
ﮘﮙﮚ ﲦ​

And indeed they used to say:
ﮜﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡ ﲧ​

If we had but a reminder from the men of old
ﮣﮤﮥﮦ ﲨ​

We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
ﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬ ﲩ​

Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
ﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓ ﲪ​

And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
ﯕﯖﯗ ﲫ​

That they verily would be helped,
ﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﲬ​

And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
ﯞﯟﯠﯡ ﲭ​

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
ﯣﯤﯥ ﲮ​

And watch, for they will (soon) see.
ﯧﯨ ﲯ​

Would they hasten on Our doom?
ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯ ﲰ​

But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
ﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﲱ​

Withdraw from them awhile
ﯶﯷﯸ ﲲ​

And watch, for they will (soon) see.
ﯺﯻﯼﯽﯾﯿ ﲳ​

Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
ﰁﰂﰃ ﲴ​

And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
ﰅﰆﰇﰈ ﲵ​

And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
