Muhsin Khan - English translation

Verse 1

As-Saffat


By those (angels) ranged in ranks (or rows).
Verse 2

By those (angels) who drive the clouds in a good way.
Verse 3

By those (angels) who bring the Book and the Quran from Allah to mankind [Tafsir Ibn Kathir].
Verse 4

Verily your Ilah (God) is indeed One (i.e. Allah);

Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every point of the sun's risings. (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah).

Except such as snatch away something by stealing and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.

Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad SAW): "Are they stronger as creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains, etc.) whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.
Verse 12

Nay, you (O Muhammad SAW) wondered (at their insolence) while they mock (at you and at the Quran).
Verse 14

And when they see an Ayah (a sign, a proof, or an evidence) from Allah, they mock at it.
Verse 18

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

It will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e. the second blowing of the Trumpet)], and behold, they will be staring!

(It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship.
Verse 25

"What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)?"

They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, order us for polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed]."

"So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment).
Verse 34

Certainly, that is how We deal with Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, the disobedient to Allah, etc.).

Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).

And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our aliha (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?

Nay! he (Muhammad SAW) has come with the truth (i.e. Allah's Religion - Islamic Monotheism and this Quran) and he confirms the Messengers (before him who brought Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism).
Verse 38

Verily, you (pagans of Makkah) are going to taste the painful torment;

And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allah's disobedience which you used to do in this world);
Verse 40

Save the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

Neither they will have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin, etc.) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.
Verse 48

And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes.
Verse 49

(Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.
Verse 52

Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

"(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."
Verse 58

(Allah informs about that true believer that he said): "Are we then not to die (any more)?

"Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum (a horrible tree in Hell)?
Verse 63

Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers, etc.).
Verse 65

The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayatin (devils);

Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqum in their bellies).
Verse 74

Except the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

And indeed Nuh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).

And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),
Verse 77

And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).
Verse 78

And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations to come in later times:

Salamun (peace) be upon Nuh (Noah) (from Us) among the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!"
Verse 80

Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112).
Verse 82

Then We drowned the other (disbelievers and polytheists, etc.).

And, verily, among those who followed his [Nuh's (Noah)] way (Islamic Monotheism) was Ibrahim (Abraham).

When he came to his Lord with a pure heart [attached to Allah Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allah Alone true Islamic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism].
Verse 87

"Then what do you think about the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)?"
Verse 89

And he said: "Verily, I am sick (with plague. He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan's feast)."
Verse 90

So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).

Then he turned to their aliha (gods) and said: "Will you not eat (of the offering before you)?
Verse 93

Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.
Verse 94

Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.

They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"

And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"
Verse 101

So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.
Verse 103

Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);

You have fulfilled the dream (vision)!" Verily! Thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112).
Verse 107

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram);
Verse 108

And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times.
Verse 110

Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112).
Verse 112

And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaque (Isaac) a Prophet from the righteous.
Verse 119

And We left for them (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;
Verse 121

Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V. 2:112).
Verse 125

"Will you call upon Ba'l (a well- known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,
Verse 127

But they denied him [Iliyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),
Verse 129

And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;
Verse 131

Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allah's sake only - see V. 2:112).
Verse 135

Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.
Verse 136

Verse 142

Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame.

He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.
Verse 148

And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
Verse 149

Now ask them (O Muhammad SAW): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"
Verse 152

"Allah has begotten off spring or children (i.e. angels are the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!

And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts).
Verse 159

Glorified is Allah! (He is Free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Verse 160

Except the slaves of Allah, whom He choses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).

So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols).
Verse 162

Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],

Verily, we (angels), we stand in rows for the prayers (as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);
Verse 166

Verily, we (angels), we are they who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).

"If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW as a Messenger of Allah).
Verse 169

"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"
Verse 170

But (now that the Quran has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Quran and in Prophet Muhammad SAW, and all that which he brought, the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!
Verse 171

And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,
Verse 175

And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!

Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?

And all the praise and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
