37As-Saaffaat

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا

By the angels ranged in ranks.

فَالزَّاجِرَاتِ زَجْرًا

By the angels driving away.

فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا

By the angels reciting the praise.

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ

Verily your God is One.

رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is in- between the twain, and Lord of the easts.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ

Verily We! We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment: the stars.

وَحِفْظًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍ

And have placed therein a guard against any Satan froward.

لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

They cannot listen to the exalted assembly, and they are darted at from every side.

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

With a driving fusillade, and theirs shall be a torment perpetual;

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

Except him who snatcheth away a word by stealth, and him then pursueth a glowing flame.

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنَا ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ لَازِبٍ

Ask them thou: are they stronger in structure or those others whom We have created? Verily We! We have created them of a sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

Aye! thou marvellest, and they scoff.

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

And when they are admonished, they receive not admcnition.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

And when they behold a sign, they turn to scoffing.

وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ

And they say: this Qur'an is naught but magic manifest.

أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

When we have become dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then verily be raised?

أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ

And also our forefathers?

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُونَ

Say thou: and verily ye; shall then be despicable.

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ

It shall be but one shout, lo! they shall be staring.

وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And they will say: Ah! woe be Unto us! this is the Day of Requital.

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

This is the Day of Judgment which ye were wont to belie.

۞ احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ

Gather together those who did wrong and their comrades and that which they were wont to worship

مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ

Beside Allah, and lead them on to the path of the Flaming Fire.

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ

And stop them; verily they are to be questioned:

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

What aileth you that ye succour not one another?

بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

Nay! on that Day they will be entirely submissive.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

And they will advance toward each other mutually questioning.

قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ

They will say: verily ye! ye were wont to come Unto us Imposing.

قَالُوا بَلْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ

They will say: nay! ye yourselves were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۖ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ

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

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَا ۖ إِنَّا لَذَائِقُونَ

So on us hath been justified the sentence of our Lord: verily we are to taste.

فَأَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَاوِينَ

We seduced you astray; verily we were ourselves the seduced ones.

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

So verily on that Day they all in the torment will be sharers.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ

Verily We! in this wise We deal with the culprits.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Verily when it was said Unto them: there is no god but Allah, they ever grew stiff-necked.

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُو آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَجْنُونٍ

And they said: are we going to abandon our gods on account of a Poet distracted?

بَلْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Aye! he hath come with the truth, and he confesseth to the sent ones.

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ

Verily ye are going to taste a torment afflictive.

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And ye shall be required not except for that which ye have been doing;

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

But the bondmen of Allah, the sincere ones -

أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَعْلُومٌ

Those! theirs shall be a provision known:

فَوَاكِهُ ۖ وَهُمْ مُكْرَمُونَ

Fruits! And they shall be honoured.

فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

In Gardens of Delight.

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ

On couches, facing one another.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ

Round shall be passed a cup Unto them filled with limpid drink:

بَيْضَاءَ لَذَّةٍ لِلشَّارِبِينَ

White, a pleasure Unto the drinkers.

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنْزَفُونَ

No headiness there shall be therein, nor shall they be therewith Inebriated.

وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ

And with them shall be damsels of refraining looks, large- eyed

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ

As though they were eggs hidden.

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

Then they will advance Unto each other, mutually questioning.

قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٌ

And a speaker from among them will say: verily there was Unto me a mate.

يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ

Who said: art thou of those who confess to the doctrine of Resurrection:

أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

When we are dead and have become dust and bones, are we indeed going to be requited?

قَالَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطَّلِعُونَ

Allah will say: will ye look down?

فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَآهُ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ

Then he will look down and see him in the midst of the Flaming Fire.

قَالَ تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كِدْتَ لَتُرْدِينِ

And he will say: by Allah, thou hadst wellnigh causedest me to perish.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ

And but for the favourcf my lord, I should have been of those brought forward.

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

Are we not then to die

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

Save our first death, and are we not to be tormented?

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

Verily this! that is the supreme achievement.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ

For the like of this, then, let the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ

Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ

Verily We! We have made it a temptation for the wrong- doers.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ

Verily it is a tree that springeth forth in the bottom of Flaming Fire.

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ

The fruit thereof is as though the hoods of the serpents.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَآكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ

And verily they must eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِنْ حَمِيمٍ

And thereafter verily they shall have thereon a draught of balling water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ

And thereafter verily their return is Unto the Flaming Fire.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ

Verily they found their fathers gone astray.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

So they in their footsteps are rushing.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

And assuredly there went stray before them many of the ancients.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ

And assuredly We sent among them warners.

فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

So behold what wise hath been the end of those who were warned.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Save the bondmen of Allah sincere.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ

And assuredly Nuh cried Unto us; and We are the Best of answerers!

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ

And We delivered him and his people from the great affliction.

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ

And his offspring! them We made the survivors.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

And We left for him among the posterity.

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ

Peace be on Nuh among the worlds.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers.

إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Verily he was of Our bondmen believing.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

Then We drowned the others.

۞ وَإِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ

And verily of his sect was Ibrahim.

إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Recall what time he came Unto his lord with a heart whole.

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Recall what time he said Unto his father and his people: What is it that ye worship?

أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

Is it a falsehood-god beside Allah - that ye desire?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

what, then, is your opinion of the Lord of the worlds?

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ

Then he glanced a glance on the stars.

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ

And he said: verily I am about to be sick.

فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

So they departed from him turning their backs.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Then he slipped Unto their gods and said: eat ye not

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُونَ

What aileth ye that ye speak not?

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ

Then he slipped Unto them striking them with the right hand.

فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Then they advanced toward him, hastening.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

He said: worship ye that which carve.

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Whereas Allah hath created you and that which ye make?

قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ

They said. build for him a building and cast him into the flaming fire.

فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ

And they devised a plot for him, but We made them the humble.

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

And he said: verily I am going to my Lord who will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

My Lord! Bestow on me a son who will be of the righteous.

فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ

Wherefore We gave him the glad tidings of a boy gentle.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ

And when he attained the age of, running with him, he said: O my son! verily I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering thee; so look, what considerest thou? He said: O my father! do that which thou art commanded; thou shalt find me, Allah willing, of the patients.

فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ

Then when the twain had submitted themselves and he had prostrated him upon his temple.

وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَنْ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ

We cried Unto him: O Ibrahim

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Of a surety thou hast fulfilled the vision. Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ

Verily that! that was a trial manifest.

وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

And We ransomed him with a mighty victim.

وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ

And We blessed him and Is-haq; and of their offspring are some well-doers and some who wrong themselves manifestly.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

And assuredly We gave grace Unto Musa and Harun.

وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ

And delivered them and their people from the great affliction.

وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ

And verily, llyas was one of the sent ones.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

Recall what time he said Unto his people: fear ye not?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ

Call ye upon Bal and forsake the Best of creators.

اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

Then they belied him, so verily they are to be brought up.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except the bondmen of Allah sincere.

Recall what time We delivered him and his household, all.

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ

Save an old woman among the lingerers.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

Then We annihilated the others.

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِحِينَ

And surely ye pass by them in the morning.

وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And at night. Will ye not therefore reflect?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And verily Yunus was Of the sent ones.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

Recall what time he ran away Unto a laden ship.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ

Then he joined the lots, and was of the condemned.

فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

And a fish swallowed him, and he was reproaching himself.

فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ

And had he not been of those who hallow Him,

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

He would have tarried in the belly thereof till the Day when they are raised.

۞ فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ

Then We cast him on a bare desert whilst he was sick.

وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ

And We caused to grow over him a tree, a gourd.

وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

And We had sent him to a hundred thousand: rather they exceeded.

فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

And they believed, whrefore We let them enjoy life for a season.

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ

Now ask thou them: there for thy Lord daughters and for them sons?

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ

Or created We the angels females while they were witnesses?

أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ مِنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

Lo! verily it is of their falsehood that they say:

وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

God hath begotten. Verily they are the liars.

أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ

Hath He chosen daughters above sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

What aileth you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Will ye not then be admonished?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ

Or, is there for you a clear warranty

فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

Then bring your book, if ye say sooth.

وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

And they have made a kinship between Him and the jinn a kinship whereas the jinn assuredly know that they are to be brought up

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Hallowed be Allah from that which they ascribe to Him.

إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Except the bondmen of Allah sincere.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

Wherefore verily neither ye nor that which ye worship,

مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ

Can tempt anyone to rebel against Him.

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ

Save him Who is to roast in the Flaming Fire.

وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ

Of us there is none but hath a station assigned.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ

And verily we! we are ranged in ranks.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ

And verily we! we halloW.

وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ

And they surely were wont to say:

لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Had we but an admonition as had the ancients.

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

Surefy we would have been the bondmen of God sincere.

فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Yet they disbelieve therein. Presently they shall come to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And assuredly Our word hath already gone forth Our bondmen, the sent ones:

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُورُونَ

That verily they! they shall be made triumphant.

وَإِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

And verily Our host! they are to be overcome.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

So turn thou aside from them for a season.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And see them thou; they themselves shall presently see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Our torment seek they to hasten on!

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

Then when it descendeth Unto them face to, face, a hapless morn that shall be for those who were Warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

And turn thou aside from them for a season.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And see thou: they themselves shall presently see.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Hallowed be thine Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they ascribe!

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And peace be Unto the sent ones.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And all praise Unto Allah the Lord of the worlds.
