الصافات
Surah As-Saffat
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Surely you ˹pagans˺ and whatever ˹idols˺ you worship
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ
can never lure ˹anyone˺ away from Him
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
except those ˹destined˺ to burn in Hell.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
˹The angels respond,˺ “There is not one of us without an assigned station ˹of worship˺.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
We are indeed the ones lined up in ranks ˹for Allah˺.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
And we are indeed the ones ˹constantly˺ glorifying ˹His praise˺.”
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
They certainly used to say,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
“If only we had a Reminder like ˹those of˺ earlier peoples,1
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
we would have truly been Allah’s devoted servants.”
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
But ˹now˺ they reject it, so they will soon know.
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Our Word has already gone forth to Our servants, the messengers,
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
that they would surely be helped,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
and that Our forces will certainly prevail.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
So turn away from the deniers for a while ˹O Prophet˺.
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
You will see ˹what will happen to˺ them, and they too will see!
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Do they ˹really˺ wish to hasten Our punishment?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Yet when it descends upon them:1 how evil will that morning be for those who had been warned!
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
And turn away from them for a while.
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
You will see, and they too will see!
سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Glorified is your Lord—the Lord of Honour and Power—above what they claim!
