الصافات
Surah As-Saffat
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
They will have a known provision:
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ
fruits ˹of every type˺.1 And they will be honoured
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
in the Gardens of Bliss,
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
facing each other on thrones.1
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ
A drink ˹of pure wine˺ will be passed around to them from a flowing stream:
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
crystal-white, delicious to drink.
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ
It will neither harm ˹them˺, nor will they be intoxicated by it.
وَعِندَهُمْ قَـٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ
And with them will be maidens of modest gaze and gorgeous eyes,
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ
as if they were pristine pearls.1
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Then they will turn to one another inquisitively.1
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ
One of them will say, “I once had a companion ˹in the world˺
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
who used to ask ˹me˺, ‘Do you actually believe ˹in resurrection˺?
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be brought to judgment?’”
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
He will ˹then˺ ask, “Would you care to see ˹his fate˺?”
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Then he ˹and the others˺ will look and spot him in the midst of the Hellfire.
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ
He will ˹then˺ say, “By Allah! You nearly ruined me.
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I ˹too˺ would have certainly been among those brought ˹to Hell˺.”
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
˹Then he will ask his fellow believers,˺ “Can you imagine that we will never die,
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
except our first death, nor be punished ˹like the others˺?”
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
This is truly the ultimate triumph.
