SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

By those [angels] lined up in rows

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And those who drive [the clouds]

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And those who recite the message,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, your God is One,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And as protection against every rebellious devil

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

But you wonder, while they mock,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And our forefathers [as well]?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

But they, that Day, are in surrender.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And they will approach one another blaming each other.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Those will have a provision determined -

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Fruits; and they will be honored

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

In gardens of pleasure

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

On thrones facing one another.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

White and delicious to the drinkers;

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then, are we not to die

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, this is the great attainment.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We had already sent among them warners.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then look how was the end of those who were warned -

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

But not the chosen servants of Allah.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then We drowned the disbelievers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And he cast a look at the stars

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

So they turned away from him, departing.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

While Allah created you and that which you do?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

We called to him, "O Abraham,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

"Peace upon Abraham."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We guided them on the straight path.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Except the chosen servants of Allah.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

"Peace upon Elias."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then We destroyed the others.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And he drew lots and was among the losers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then will you not be reminded?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Or do you have a clear authority?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And they have 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].

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And leave them for a time.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And see, for they are going to see.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

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

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And peace upon the messengers.

SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
