Surah “Those Who Set The Ranks, Drawn up in Ranks, The Rangers”

as rendered by Samy Mahdy — 182 verses

(Swear) By, the aligners in rows.
Then by, the rebukers, a rebuke (loudly).
Then by the reciters, a reminder.
Surely, your God is One.
Lord of the skies and the earth, and whatever is between them; and Lord of sunrises.
We have adorned the Dunya (world) sky with adornments of the planets.
And a preservation from every rebellious devil.
They cannot listen to (The Highest Chieftains Angels with God) and are being pelted from every side.
Expulsed and for them a perpetual torment.
Except one who hijacked the hijacked (word) so he is followed by a piercing meteor.
So, seek their ruling, “Are they a stronger creation, or whom We have created?” We created them from sticky clay.
Nay, but you wondered, while they ridicule.
And if they were reminded, they are not remembering.
And when they saw a verse, they were ridiculed.
And they said, “Surely this is none except an obvious magic.
Is it if we have died and become dust and bones, will we be raised up?
And also our former parents?
Say, “Yes, and you are degrading.”
So, it is only a single yelling, so behold they are seeing.
And they said, “Woe to us. This is The Religion Day (Divine system of debt).”
“This is the decisive adjudication day which you falsified by it.
[The angels will be ordered] Muster those who oppressed, and their couples, and what they were worshiping.
[They worship others] Without Allah, so guide them to the Hellfire path.
And detain them. They will be questioned.”
What is the matter with you? Why do some of you not give victory to some others?
Nay, but Today, they were surrendering.
And some of them came toward some others, questioning.
They said, “You were coming to us from the right.”
They said, “Nay, but you were not believers.
And it was not for us Sultan upon you. Nay, but you were kinfolk who tyrannized.
So, the saying of our Lord was truthed upon us. That we will taste it.
So we lured you. Surely, we are lurers.”
So, on that Day, they will be shared in the torment.
Surely thus We will do with the criminals.
They were, if it was said to them, “There is no god except Allah they were arrogating.
And they said, “Do we quit our gods for a mad poet?”
Nay, but he came with the right, and he confirmed the messengers.
Surely, you will taste the painful torment.
And you do not penalize except what you were working on.
Except for Allah’s sincere slaves.
Those, for them a known livelihood.
Fruits; and they are honored.
In the Bliss Paradises.
On beds, facing each other.
They will be circulated upon them by a goblet from a flowing spring.
White, a delight for the drinkers.
No bad effect is there within it, nor are they running out of it.
And with them are gaze women, with beautiful large eyes
As if they were well-kept fresh eggs.
So, some of them came toward some other, are questioning.
A speaker among them said, " I was for me a consort.
Who says, “Are you from the ratifying ones?
Is it if we have died and become dust and bones, shall we be indebted?”
He said, “Will you have a look down?”
So, he looked down, so he saw him in the midst of hellfire.
He said, “By Allah, you almost ravaged me.
And if not, it is my Lord’s grace, I would have been from those who are brought in.”
So, are we not dying?
Except for our first death, and we will not be tormented?”
Surely, this is a great win.
For the like of this, so, let the workers work.
Is this better hospitality, or Al-Zaqqum Tree?
We set it up as an infatuation for the oppressors.
It is a tree exiting out in The Hellfire Root.
Its spadix is like the devils’ heads.
So, they will eat from it, so they fill their bellies with it.
Then surely, they will have over it a blend of scalding water.
Then most surely their return will be to hellfire.
That they habitualized their parents as strayers.
So they upon their footsteps hasten.
And they had already strayed before them, most of the ancients.
And We had already sent within them, Warners.
So observe how it was a consequence of those who were warned.
Except for the sincere slaves of Allah.
And Noah already called to Us, so We are the gracious responders.
And We saved him and his family from the great anguish.
And We made his offspring, who are the survivors.
And We quit for him (favorable mention) in those coming in later times.
Peace be upon Noah in the worlds.
Surely, We thus recompense the benefactors.
Surely, he was among Our believing slaves.
Then We drowned the others.
And from his sect, Abraham.
When he came to his Lord with an intact core.
When he said for his father and his kinfolk, “What are you worshiping?
Is it faked gods, rather than Allah, you are wanting?
So what is your assumption with The Worlds' Lord?”
So, he glanced a glance into the stars
So he said, “Surely I am ill.”
So they turned away from him, back retreating.
So he creeped to their gods, so he said, “will you not eat?
What is the matter with you, not speaking?”
So he creeped upon them, striking by the right hand.
So they arrived towards him, nearing (trembling with anger).
He said, “Are you worshiping what you are carving?
While Allah created you and what you work?”
They said, “Build a building for him so throw him into the hellfire.”
So, they wanted a plan with him, so We set up them, the undermost.
And he said, “I am going to my Lord, He will guide me.”
“My Lord, endow me among the righteous.”
So We preach (Good tidings) to him by a clement lad.
So when he reached, with him [the age of] the striving, he said, "O my son, I visualized in the dream that I sacrifice you, so observe what you see." He said, "O my father, do what you are commanded. You would find me, if Allah willed, among the patient ones."
So, when they had submitted and he put his forehead down.
And We called out to him: "O Abraham!
You have already ratified the vision.” Surely thus We recompense the benefactors.
Surely this is the obvious trial.
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
And We quit for him (favorable mention) in those coming in later times.
Peace be upon Abraham.
Surely, We thus recompense the benefactors.
Surely, he is among Our believing slaves.
And We preached (Good tidings) to him, by Isaac, a prophet among the righteous.
And We blessed upon him, and upon Isaac. And from their offspring who is benefactor, and who is oppressor for himself, obviously.
And certainly We conferred favors upon Moses and Aaron.
And We saved them and their kinfolk from the great anguish.
And We gave them victory, so they became the overcomers.
And We gave them The Thoroughness Book.
And We guided them, the straight path.
And We quit for them (favorable mention) in those coming in later times:
Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.
Surely, We thus recompense the benefactors.
Surely, they were among Our believing slaves.
And surely Elias was among the messengers.
When he said to his kinfolk, “Are you not showing piety?
Will you call on Ba'al, and leave Best of The Creators?
Allah is your Lord, and your former parents’ Lord.”
So, they falsified him, so surely, they will be brought in.
Except sincere slaves of Allah.
And We quit for him (favorable mention) in those coming in later times.
Peace be upon Elias’s folk.
Surely, We thus recompense the benefactors.
Surely, he is among Our believing slaves.
And surely Lot was among the messengers,
When We saved him and his family, altogether.
Except an elderly woman in the remaining behind ones.
Then We devastated the others.
And you pass by them in the morning.
And by the night. So, are you not reasoning?
And surely Jonah was among the messengers,
When he fled away to the laden ark.
So, he bet, so he was from the compellers.
So, the whale gulped him, while he was blameworthy.
So, had he not been among the glorifiers (For Allah) .
He would have tarried in its belly until the Day when they will raise.
So We forsake him at the naked shore, while he is ill.
And We planted over him a tree of gourds.
And We sent him to, a hundred thousand, or more.
So, they believed, so We gave them enjoyment till a while.
So, seek their ruling, “Are the daughters for your Lord, and for them the sons?”
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
Verily! They are from their fake will say.
“Allah’s son.” And surely, they are liars.
Has He chosen the daughters over the sons?
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
So, Will yourselves not be remembering?
Or for you an obvious Sultan?
So, bring with you your Book, if you are truthful.
And they have set up between Him and the jinn a lineage, and the jinn have already known that they will be brought attendees.
Glorified is Allah and exalted about what they are describing.
Except the sincere Allah’s slaves.
So surely you and what you are worshiping.
You cannot infatuate away from Him.
Except whoever is flamed in The Hell.
And "None from us except he has a known position. (Angels)
And surely, we are the aligners.
And surely, we are the glorifiers. (For Allah).”
And surely, they were saying.
“If only, we had a reminder from the formers.
We would have certainly been the sincere Allah’s slaves"
So, they disbelieved, with it, so they will be knowing.
And Our word has already preceded for Our slaves, the messengers,
Surely, they will be victorious.
And surely Our troops are the overcomers.
So turn away from them till a while,
And sight them; so, they will see!
So, will they, with Our torment, be hastening?
So, when it descends by their courtyard, so bad is the morning of those who were warned.
And turn away from them, till a while.
And see, so they will see.
Glorified are your Lord, The Honor’ Lord, above what they are describing.
And peace be upon the messengers.
And the praise for Allah, The Worlds' Lord!
