Pickthall, Surah 37: Those drawn up in Ranks (As-Saaffaat)

Surahs

[1] By those who set the ranks in battle order

[2] And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

[3] And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

[4] Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

[5] Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.

[6] Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

[7] With security from every froward devil.

[8] They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

[9] Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

[10] Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

[11] 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.

[12] Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

[13] And heed not when they are reminded,

[14] And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

[15] And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

[16] When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?

[17] And our forefathers?

[18] Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

[19] There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

[20] And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.

[21] This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.

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

[23] Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;

[24] And stop them, for they must be questioned.

[25] What aileth you that ye help not one another?

[26] Nay, but this day they make full submission.

[27] And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

[28] They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).

[29] They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.

[30] We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.

[31] Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).

[32] Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

[33] Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

[34] Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

[35] For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

[36] And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?

[37] Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

[38] Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -

[39] Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

[40] Save single-minded slaves of Allah;

[41] For them there is a known provision,

[42] Fruits. And they will be honoured

[43] In the Gardens of delight,

[44] On couches facing one another;

[45] A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

[46] White, delicious to the drinkers,

[47] Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

[48] And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,

[49] (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

[50] And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

[51] A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade

[52] Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?

[53] Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?

[54] He saith: Will ye look?

[55] Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

[56] He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,

[57] And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).

[58] Are we then not to die

[59] Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?

[60] Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

[61] For the like of this, then, let the workers work.

[62] Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?

[63] Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.

[64] Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.

[65] Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

[66] And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.

[67] And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water

[68] And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

[69] They indeed found their fathers astray,

[70] But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

[71] And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,

[72] And verily We sent among them warners.

[73] Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

[74] Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[75] And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer

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

[77] And made his seed the survivors,

[78] And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

[79] Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

[80] Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[81] Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

[82] Then We did drown the others.

[83] And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

[84] When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

[85] When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?

[86] Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?

[87] What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?

[88] And he glanced a glance at the stars

[89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

[90] And they turned their backs and went away from him.

[91] Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?

[92] What aileth you that ye speak not?

[93] Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

[94] And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

[95] He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

[96] When Allah hath created you and what ye make?

[97] They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.

[98] And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

[99] And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.

[100] My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

[101] So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

[102] 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.

[103] Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,

[104] We called unto him: O Abraham!

[105] Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[106] Lo! that verily was a clear test.

[107] Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

[108] And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

[109] Peace be unto Abraham!

[110] Thus do We reward the good.

[111] Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

[112] And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

[113] And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

[114] And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

[115] And saved them and their people from the great distress,

[116] And helped them so that they became the victors.

[117] And We gave them the clear Scripture

[118] And showed them the right path.

[119] And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):

[120] Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

[121] Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[122] Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

[123] And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

[124] When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

[125] Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,

[126] Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?

[127] But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)

[128] Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[129] And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

[130] Peace be unto Elias!

[131] Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[132] Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.

[133] And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).

[134] When We saved him and his household, every one,

[135] Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;

[136] Then We destroyed the others.

[137] And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning

[138] And at night-time; have ye then no sense?

[139] And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)

[140] When he fled unto the laden ship,

[141] And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

[142] And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

[143] And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

[144] He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

[145] Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

[146] And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

[147] And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more

[148] And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

[149] Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?

[150] Or created We the angels females while they were present?

[151] Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

[152] Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

[153] (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.

[154] What aileth you? How judge ye?

[155] Will ye not then reflect?

[156] Or have ye a clear warrant?

[157] Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

[158] And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).

[159] Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),

[160] Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[161] Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,

[162] Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

[163] Save him who is to burn in hell.

[164] There is not one of us but hath his known position.

[165] Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,

[166] Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise

[167] And indeed they used to say:

[168] If we had but a reminder from the men of old

[169] We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.

[170] Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.

[171] And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

[172] That they verily would be helped,

[173] And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

[174] So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,

[175] And watch, for they will (soon) see.

[176] Would they hasten on Our doom?

[177] But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.

[178] Withdraw from them awhile

[179] And watch, for they will (soon) see.

[180] Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)

[181] And peace be unto those sent (to warn).

[182] And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
