Surah As-Saff
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ١
Sabbaḥa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa huwal-‘azīzul-ḥakīm(u).
[1]
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لِمَ تَقُوْلُوْنَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ٢
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lima taqūlūna mā lā taf‘alūn(a).
[2]
O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?
كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ٣
Kabura maqtan ‘indallāhi an taqūlū mā lā taf‘alūn(a).
[3]
Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِيْنَ يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِهٖ صَفًّا كَاَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوْصٌ٤
Innallāha yuḥibbul-lażīna yuqātilūna fī sabīlihī ṣaffan ka'annahum bun-yānum marṣūṣ(un).
[4]
Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.
وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِهٖ يٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُوْنَنِيْ وَقَدْ تَّعْلَمُوْنَ اَنِّيْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيْكُمْۗ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوْٓا اَزَاغَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوْبَهُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِيْنَ٥
Wa iż qāla mūsā liqaumihī yā qaumi lima tu'żūnanī wa qad ta‘lamūna annī rasūlullāhi ilaikum, falammā zāgū azāgallāhu qulūbahum, wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumal-fāsiqīn(a).
[5]
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allah to you?" And when they deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
وَاِذْ قَالَ عِيْسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يٰبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ اِنِّيْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيْكُمْ مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرٰىةِ وَمُبَشِّرًاۢ بِرَسُوْلٍ يَّأْتِيْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِى اسْمُهٗٓ اَحْمَدُۗ فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ٦
Wa iż qāla ‘īsabnu maryama yā banī isrā'īla innī rasūlullāhi ilaikum muṣaddiqal limā baina yadayya minat-taurāti wa mubasysyiram birasūliy ya'tī mim ba‘dismuhū aḥmad(u), falammā jā'ahum bil-bayyināti qālū hāżā siḥrum mubīn(un).
[6]
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."
وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعٰىٓ اِلَى الْاِسْلَامِۗ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ٧
Wa man aẓlamu mimmaniftarā ‘alallāhil-każiba wa huwa yud‘ā ilal-islām(i), wallāhu lā yahdil-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
[7]
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah untruth while he is being invited to Islam. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
يُرِيْدُوْنَ لِيُطْفِـُٔوْا نُوْرَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ مُتِمُّ نُوْرِهٖ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ٨
Yurīdūna liyuṭfi'ū nūrallāhi bi'afwāhihim, wallāhu mutimmu nūrihī wa lau karihal-kāfirūn(a).
[8]
They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.
هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰى وَدِيْنِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَى الدِّيْنِ كُلِّهٖۙ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ ࣖ٩
Wa huwal-lażī arsala rasūlahū bil-hudā wa dīnil-ḥaqqi liyuẓhirahū ‘alad-dīni kullih(ī), wa lau karihal-musyrikūn(a).
[9]
It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى تِجَارَةٍ تُنْجِيْكُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ١٠
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū hal adullukum ‘alā tijāratin tunjīkum min ‘ażābin alīm(in).
[10]
O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment?
تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَتُجَاهِدُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْۗ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ١١
Tu'minūna billāhi wa rasūlihī wa tujāhidūna fī sabīlillāhi bi'amwālikum wa anfusikum, żālikum khairul lakum in kuntum ta‘lamūn(a).
[11]
[It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know.
يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ وَمَسٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِيْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنٍۗ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُۙ١٢
Yagfir lakum żunūbakum wa yudkhilkum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru wa masākina ṭayyibatan fī jannāti ‘adn(in), żālikal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).
[12]
He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment.
وَاُخْرٰى تُحِبُّوْنَهَاۗ نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيْبٌۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ١٣
Wa ukhrā tuḥibbūnahā, naṣrum minallāhi wa fatḥun qarīb(un), wa basysyiril-mu'minīn(a).
[13]
And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love - victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُوْنُوْٓا اَنْصَارَ اللّٰهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيْسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيّٖنَ مَنْ اَنْصَارِيْٓ اِلَى اللّٰهِ ۗقَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّوْنَ نَحْنُ اَنْصَارُ اللّٰهِ فَاٰمَنَتْ طَّاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْۢ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ وَكَفَرَتْ طَّاۤىِٕفَةٌ ۚفَاَيَّدْنَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا عَلٰى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَاَصْبَحُوْا ظٰهِرِيْنَ ࣖ١٤
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū kūnū anṣārallāhi kamā qāla ‘īsabnu maryama lil-ḥawāriyyīna man anṣārī ilallāh(i), qālal-ḥawāriyyūna naḥnu anṣārullāhi fa'āmanaṭ-ṭā'ifatum mim banī isrā'īla wa kafaraṭ-ṭā'ifah(tun), fa'ayyadnal-lażīna āmanū ‘alā ‘aduwwihim fa'aṣbaḥū ẓāhirīn(a).
[14]
O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are my supporters for Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of Allah." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.
