Bismillah

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا

Tajweed highlighting is unavailable for this verse: the source annotations do not align with the displayed text.

By the aligners aligning.

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا

And the drivers driving.

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا

And the reciters of the Reminder.

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ

Your God is indeed One.

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ

Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; and Lord of the Easts.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ

We have adorned the lower heaven with the beauty of the planets.

وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ

And guarded it against every defiant devil.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ

They cannot eavesdrop on the Supernal Elite, for they get bombarded from every side.

دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ

Repelled-they will have a lingering torment.

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ

Except for him who snatches a fragment-he gets pursued by a piercing projectile.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ

Inquire of them, "Are they more difficult to create, or the others We created?" We created them from sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

But you wonder, and they ridicule.

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

And when reminded, they pay no attention.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ

And they say, "This is nothing but plain magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

When we have died and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

And our ancestors of old?"

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ

Say, "Yes indeed, and you will be totally subdued."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

It will be a single nudge, and they will be staring.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They will say, "Woe to us. This is the Day of Judgment."

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

"This is the Day of Separation which you used to deny.

۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

Gather those who did wrong, and their mates, and what they used to worship.

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Besides God, and lead them to the way to Hell.

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ

And stop them. They are to be questioned."

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another?

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

In fact, on that Day, they will be submissive.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

They will come to one another, questioning one another.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

They will say, "You used to come at us from the right."

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

They will say, "You yourselves were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ

We had no authority over you. You yourselves were rebellious people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ

The Word of our Lord has been realized against us. We are tasting it.

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ

We seduced you. We were seducers."

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

On that Day, they will share in the punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Thus We deal with the sinners.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

When it was said to them, "There is no god except God," they grew arrogant.

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ

And said, "Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?"

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

In fact, he came with the truth, and he confirmed the messengers.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ

Most assuredly, you will taste the painful punishment.

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And you will be repaid only for what you used to do.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except for God's sincere servants.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

For them is a known provision.

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ

Fruits; and they will be honored.

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

In the Gardens of Bliss.

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

On furnishings, facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ

They will be offered a cup of pure drink.

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

White; a delight to those who drink.

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ

Never polluted, and never intoxicating.

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ

With them will be bashful women with lovely eyes.

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ

As if they were closely guarded pearls.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Then they will approach one another, questioning.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ

One of them will say, "I used to have a friend.

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ

Who used to say, "Are you of those who believe?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

That after we die and become dust and bones, we will be called to account?"

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

He will say, "Will you have a look?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

He will look, and will see him in the pit of Hell.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ

He will say, "By God, you almost ruined me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ

Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among the arraigned."

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

"We will not die.

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished."

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

This is the supreme triumph.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ

For the like of this let the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Is this a better hospitality, or the Tree of Bitterness?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

We made it an ordeal for the unjust.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell.

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

Its fruits are like the devils' heads.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

They will eat from it, and fill their bellies with it.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ

Then, on top of it, they will have a brew of boiling liquid.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Then their return will be to the Blaze.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ

They had found their parents astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

And rushed along in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And most of the ancients before them went astray.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

Even though We sent messengers to warn them.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

So observe the end of those who were warned.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except for the sincere servants of God.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ

And Noah called out to Us, and We are the Best of responders.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

And We saved him and his family from the great calamity.

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

And We made his descendants the survivors.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

And We left mention of him among those who succeeded.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Peace be upon Noah among all people.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

We thus reward the righteous.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

Then We drowned the others.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Of his kind was Abraham.

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

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

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

Is it falsified gods, instead of God, that you want?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

So what is your opinion about the Lord of the Worlds?"

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ

Then he took a glance at the stars.

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌۭ

And said, "I am sick."

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

But they turned their backs on him, and went away.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Then he turned to their gods, and said, "will you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

What is it with you, that you do not speak?"

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

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

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

And they came running towards him.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

He said, "Do you worship what you carve?

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

When God created you, and what you manufacture?"

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ

They said, "Build a pyre for him, and throw him into the furnace."

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ

They wished him ill, but We made them the losers.

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

He said, "I am going towards my Lord, and He will guide me."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

"My Lord, give me one of the righteous."

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ

So We gave him good news of a clement boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

Then, when he was old enough to accompany him, he said, "O My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you; see what you think." He said, "O my Father, do as you are commanded; you will find me, God willing, one of the steadfast."

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

Then, when they had submitted, and he put his forehead down.

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

We called out to him, "O Abraham!

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

You have fulfilled the vision." Thus We reward the doers of good.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ

This was certainly an evident test.

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ

And We redeemed him with a great sacrifice.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

And We left with him for later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Peace be upon Abraham.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus We reward the doers of good.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet, one of the righteous.

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌۭ وَظَالِمٌۭ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌۭ

And We blessed him, and Isaac. But among their descendants are some who are righteous, and some who are clearly unjust to themselves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

And We blessed Moses and Aaron.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

And We delivered them and their people from the terrible disaster.

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

And We supported them, and so they were the victors.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ

And We gave them the Clarifying Scripture.

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ

And We guided them upon the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

And We left with them for later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus We reward the righteous.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

They were of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Also Elijah was one of the messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

He said to his people, "Do you not fear?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ

Do you call on Baal, and forsake the Best of creators?

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

God is your Lord, and the Lord of your ancestors."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

But they called him a liar, and thus they will be brought forward.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except for God's sincere servants.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

And We left with him for later generations.

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

Peace be upon the House of Elijah.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus We reward the virtuous.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

He was one of Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

And Lot was one of the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

We saved him and his family, all of them.

إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ

Except for an old woman who lagged behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

Then We annihilated the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ

You pass by them in the morning.

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And at night. Do you not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

And Jonah was one of the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ

When he fled to the laden boat.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ

He gambled and lost.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ

Then the fish swallowed him, and he was to blame.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ

Had he not been one of those who praised.

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

He would have stayed in its belly until the Day they are raised.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ

Then We threw him into the wilderness, and he was sick.

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ

And We made a gourd tree grow over him.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

Then We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

Ask them, "Are the daughters for your Lord, while for them the sons?"

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ

Or did We create the angels females, as they witnessed?"

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

No indeed! It is one of their lies when they say.

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

"God has begotten." They are indeed lying.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ

So He preferred girls over boys?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

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

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Will you not reflect?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

Or do you have some clear proof?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then bring your book, if you are telling the truth.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

And they invented a relationship between Him and the jinn. But the jinn know that they will be arraigned.

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

God be glorified, far above what they allege.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except for God's sincere servants.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Surely, you and what you serve.

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

Cannot seduce away from Him.

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Except for he who will be roasting in Hell.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

"There is not one of us but has an assigned position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

And we are the arrangers.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

And we are the glorifiers."

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ

Even though they used to say.

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

"Had we received advice from the ancients.

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

We would have been God's faithful servants."

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

But they rejected it, so they will find out.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers.

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ

It is they who will be supported.

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

And Our troops will be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ

So disregard them for a while.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And watch them-they will soon see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Are they seeking to hasten Our punishment?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ

When it descends into their yard, miserable will be the morning of those forewarned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ

So avoid them for a while.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And watch-they will soon see.

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, beyond their allegations.

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

And peace be upon the messengers.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

And praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds.
