الصافات
Surah As-Saffat
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Then ˹to save it from sinking,˺ he drew straws ˹with other passengers˺. He lost ˹and was thrown overboard˺.
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy.1
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
Had he not ˹constantly˺ glorified ˹Allah˺,1
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
he would have certainly remained in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.1
۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
But We cast him onto the open ˹shore˺, ˹totally˺ worn out,
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
and caused a squash plant to grow over him.1
وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
We ˹later˺ sent him ˹back˺ to ˹his city of˺ at least one hundred thousand people,
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
who then believed ˹in him˺, so We allowed them enjoyment for a while.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ if your Lord has daughters,1 while the pagans ˹prefer to˺ have sons.
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ
Or ˹ask them˺ if We created the angels as females right before their eyes.
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Indeed, it is one of their ˹outrageous˺ fabrications to say,
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
“Allah has children.” They are simply liars.
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Has He chosen daughters over sons?1
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Will you not then be mindful?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
Or do you have ˹any˺ compelling proof?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Then bring ˹us˺ your scripture, if what you say is true!
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
They have also established a ˹marital˺ relationship between Him and the jinn. Yet the jinn ˹themselves˺ know well that such people will certainly be brought ˹for punishment˺.1
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glorified is Allah far above what they claim!
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
