Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers(as-Saffat)
---
37:1 By those ranging in ranks
37:2 And those who restrain holding in restraint
37:3 And those who recite the Reminder
37:4 Surely your God is One
37:5 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and the Lord of the eastern lands
37:6 Surely We have adorned the lower heaven with an adornment, the stars
37:7 And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious devil
37:8 They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are reproached from every side
37:9 Driven off; and for them is a perpetual chastisement
37:10 Except him who snatches away but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame
37:11 So ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay
37:12 Nay, thou wonderest, while they mock
37:13 And when they are reminded, they mind not
37:14 And when they see a sign, they seek to scoff
37:15 And say: This is nothing but clear enchantment
37:16 When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be raised
37:17 Or our fathers of yore
37:18 Say: Yea, and you will be humiliated
37:19 So it will be but one cry, when lo! they will see
37:20 And they will say: O woe to us! This is the day of Requital
37:21 This is the day of Judgment, which you called a lie
37:22 Gather together those who did wrong and their associates, and what they worshippe
37:23 Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell
37:24 And stop them, for they shall be questioned
37:25 What is the matter with you that you help not one another
37:26 Nay, on that day they will be submissive
37:27 And some of them will turn to others mutually questioning -
37:28 Saying: Surely you used to come to us from the right side
37:29 They will say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers
37:30 And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people
37:31 So the word of our Lord has proved true against us: we shall surely taste
37:32 We led you astray, for we ourselves were erring
37:33 So, that day they will be sharers in the chastisement
37:34 Thus do We deal with the guilty
37:35 They indeed were arrogant, when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah
37:36 And said: Shall we give up our gods for a mad poet
37:37 Nay, he has brought the Truth and verifies the messengers
37:38 Surely you will taste the painful chastisement
37:39 And you are requited naught but for what you did -
37:40 Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones
37:41 For them is a known sustenance
37:42 Fruits. And they are honoured
37:43 In Gardens of delight
37:44 On thrones, facing each other
37:45 A bowl of running water will be made to go round them
37:46 White, delicious to those who drink
37:47 It deprives not of reason, nor are they exhausted therewith
37:48 And with them are those modest in gaze, having beautiful eyes
37:49 As if they were eggs, carefully protected
37:50 Then some of them will turn to others, questioning mutually
37:51 A speaker of them will say: Surely I had a comrade
37:52 Who said: Art thou indeed of those who accept
37:53 When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be requited
37:54 He will say: Will you look
37:55 Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell
37:56 He will say: By Allah! thou hadst almost caused me to perish
37:57 And had it not been for favour of my Lord, I should have been among those brought up
37:58 Are we not to die
37:59 Except our previous death? And are we not to be chastised
37:60 Surely this is the mighty achievement
37:61 For the like of this, then, let the workers work
37:62 Is this the better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum
37:63 Surely We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers
37:64 It is a tree that grows in the bottom of hell -
37:65 Then truly they will eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it
37:66 Then surely they shall have after it a drink of boiling water
37:67 Then their return is surely to the flaming Fire
37:68 They indeed found their fathers astray
37:69 So in their footsteps they are hastening on
37:70 And most of the ancients surely went astray before them
37:71 And indeed We sent among them warners
37:72 Then see what was the end of those warned -
37:73 Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones
37:74 And Noah certainly called upon Us, and excellent Answerer of prayers are We
37:75 Its produce is as it were the heads of serpents
37:76 And We delivered him and his people from the great distress
37:77 And made his offspring the survivors
37:78 And left for him (praise) among the later generations
37:79 Peace be to Noah among the nations
37:80 Thus indeed do We reward the doers of good
37:81 Surely he was of Our believing servants
37:82 Then We drowned the others
37:83 And surely of his party was Abraham
37:84 When he came to his Lord with a secure heart
37:85 When he said to his sire and his people: What is it that you worship
37:86 A lie -- gods besides Allah do you desire
37:87 What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds
37:88 Then he glanced a glance at the stars
37:89 And said: Surely I am sick (of your deities)
37:90 So they turned their backs on him, going away
37:91 Then he turned to their gods and said: Do you not eat
37:92 What is the matter with you that you speak not
37:93 So he turned upon them, smiting with the right hand
37:94 Then they came to him, hastening
37:95 He said: Do you worship that which you hew out
37:96 And Allah has created you and what you make
37:97 They said: Build for him a building, then cast him into the flaming fire
37:98 And they designed a plan against him, but We brought them low
37:99 And he said: Surely I flee to my Lord -- He will guide me
37:100 My Lord, grant me a doer of good deeds
37:101 So We gave him the good news of a forbearing son
37:102 But when he became of (age to) work with him, he said: O my son, I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice thee: so consider what thou seest. He said: O my father, do as thou art commanded; if Allah please, thou wilt find me patient
37:103 So when they both submitted and he had thrown him down upon his forehead
37:104 And We called out to him saying, O Abraham
37:105 Thou has indeed fulfilled the vision. Thus do We reward the doers of good
37:106 Surely this is a manifest trial
37:107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice
37:108 And We granted him among the later generations (the salutation)
37:109 Peace to be Abraham
37:110 Thus do We reward the doers of good
37:111 Surely he was one of Our believing servants
37:112 And We gave him the good news of Isaac, a prophet, a righteous one
37:113 And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their offspring some are doers of good, but some are clearly unjust to themselves
37:114 And certainly We conferred a favour on Moses and Aaron
37:115 And We delivered them, and their people from the mighty distress
37:116 And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers
37:117 And We gave them both the clear Book
37:118 And We guided them on the right way
37:119 And We granted them among the later generations (the salutation)
37:120 Peace be to Moses and Aaron
37:121 Thus do We reward the doers of good
37:122 Surely they were both of Our believing servants
37:123 And Elias was surely of those sent
37:124 When he said to his people: Will you not guard against evil
37:125 Do you call upon Ba’l and forsake the Best of the creators
37:126 Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore
37:127 But they rejected him, so they shall be brought up
37:128 But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones
37:129 And We granted him among the later generations (the salutation)
37:130 Peace be to Elias
37:131 Even thus We reward the doers of good
37:132 Surely he was one of Our believing servants
37:133 And Lot was surely of those sent
37:134 When We delivered him and his people, all -
37:135 Except an old woman among those who remained behind
37:136 Then We destroyed the others
37:137 And surely you pass by them in the morning
37:138 And at night. Do you not then understand
37:139 And Jonah was surely of those sent
37:140 When he fled to the laden ship
37:141 So he shared with others but was of those cast away
37:142 So the fish took him into its mouth while he was blamable
37:143 But had he not been of those who glorify (Us)
37:144 He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised
37:145 Then We cast him on the naked shore, while he was sick
37:146 And We caused a gourd to grow up for him
37:147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more
37:148 And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time
37:149 Now ask them whether thy Lord has daughters and they have sons
37:150 Or did We create the angels females, while they witnessed
37:151 Now surely it is of their own lie that they say
37:152 Allah has begotten. And truly they are liars
37:153 Has He preferred daughters to sons
37:154 What is the matter with you? How you judge
37:155 Will you not then mind
37:156 Or have you a clear authority
37:157 Then bring your Book, if you are truthful
37:158 And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn. And certainly the jinn know that they will be brought up (for judgment) -
37:159 Glory be to Allah from what they describe! -
37:160 But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones
37:161 So surely you and that which you serve
37:162 Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial
37:163 Save him who will burn in the flaming Fire
37:164 And there is none of us but has an assigned place
37:165 And we truly glorify (Him)
37:166 And surely they used to say
37:167 Had we a reminder from those of yore
37:168 We would have been sincere servants of Allah
37:169 But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know
37:170 And certainly Our word has already gone forth to Our servants, to those sent
37:171 That they, surely they, will be helped
37:172 And Our hosts, surely they, will be triumphant
37:173 So turn away from them till a time
37:174 And watch them, they too will see
37:175 Would they hasten on Our chastisement
37:176 So when it descends in their court, evil will be the morning of the warned ones
37:177 And turn away from them till a time
37:178 And watch, for they too will see
37:179 Glory be to thy Lord, the Lord of Might, above what they describe
37:180 And peace be to those sent
37:181 And praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds
37:182 And verily we are ranged in ranks
