As-Saffat 37:154–182

37:154Page 452

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ١٥٤

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

37:155Page 452

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٥٥

Then will you not be reminded?

37:156Page 452

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٥٦

Or do you have a clear authority?¹

37:157Page 452

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٥٧

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

37:158Page 452

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ١٥٨

And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

37:159Page 452

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٥٩

Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

37:160Page 452

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٠

Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].

37:161Page 452

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ١٦١

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

37:162Page 452

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ١٦٢

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

37:163Page 452

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١٦٣

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.¹

37:164Page 452

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ١٦٤

[The angels say],¹ "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.²

37:165Page 452

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ١٦٥

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

37:166Page 452

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ ١٦٦

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allāh."

37:167Page 452

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٦٧

And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,¹

37:168Page 452

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٦٨

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

37:169Page 452

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٩

We would have been the chosen servants of Allāh."

37:170Page 452

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٧٠

But they disbelieved in it,¹ so they are going to know.

37:171Page 452

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٧١

And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

37:172Page 452

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ ١٧٢

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

37:173Page 452

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ ١٧٣

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.¹

37:174Page 452

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ١٧٤

So, [O Muḥammad], leave them for a time.

37:175Page 452

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ ١٧٥

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

37:176Page 452

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ١٧٦

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

37:177Page 452

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ ١٧٧

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

37:178Page 452

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ١٧٨

And leave them for a time.

37:179Page 452

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ ١٧٩

And see, for they are going to see.

37:180Page 452

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٨٠

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

37:181Page 452

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٨١

And peace upon the messengers.

37:182Page 452

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٨٢

And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
