As-Saffat 37:31–60

37:31Page 447

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ٣١

So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

37:32Page 447

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ٣٢

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

37:33Page 447

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ ٣٣

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

37:34Page 447

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ٣٤

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

37:35Page 447

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ ٣٥

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allāh," were arrogant

37:36Page 447

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ ٣٦

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

37:37Page 447

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ٣٧

Rather, he [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

37:38Page 447

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ ٣٨

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

37:39Page 447

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٣٩

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -

37:40Page 447

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ٤٠

But not the chosen servants of Allāh.

37:41Page 447

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ٤١

Those will have a provision determined -

37:42–43Page 447

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ ٤٢

Fruits;¹ and they will be honored

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٤٣

In gardens of pleasure

37:44Page 447

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ٤٤

On thrones facing one another.

37:45Page 447

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ ٤٥

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

37:46–47Page 447

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ٤٦

White and delicious to the drinkers;

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ ٤٧

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

37:48–49Page 447

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ ٤٨

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances,¹ with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ ٤٩

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

37:50Page 447

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٥٠

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

37:51Page 447

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ ٥١

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth].

37:52–53Page 448

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ ٥٢

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ٥٣

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

37:54–55Page 448

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ٥٤

He will say,¹ "Would you [care to] look?"

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٥٥

And he will look and see him¹ in the midst of the Hellfire.

37:56–57Page 448

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ ٥٦

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

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ ٥٧

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

37:58–60Page 448

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ٥٨

Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ٥٩

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

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٦٠

Indeed, this is the great attainment.
