The Alignment -As-Saffat
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
	1		[ 37. 1 ] By the aligners ( angels ) aligning.
	2		[ 37. 2 ] and the drivers driving,
	3		[ 37. 3 ] and those who recite the Remembrance
	4		[ 37. 4 ] surely, your God is One,
	5		[ 37. 5 ] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them; the Lord of the Easts.
	6		[ 37. 6 ] We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets,
	7		[ 37. 7 ] a protection against every rebel satan;
	8		[ 37. 8 ] so they cannot listen to the High Assembly, for they are pelted from every side.
	9		[ 37. 9 ] They are rejected and theirs is an everlasting punishment;
	10		[ 37. 10 ] except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame.
	11		[ 37. 11 ] So ask them, are they stronger in constitution, or those whom We have created. We have created them of sticky clay.
	12		[ 37. 12 ] No, you marvel, while they scoff.
	13		[ 37. 13 ] When they are reminded, they do not remember.
	14		[ 37. 14 ] When they are shown a sign, they scoff at it
	15		[ 37. 15 ] and say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery!'
	16		[ 37. 16 ] What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected.
	17		[ 37. 17 ] What, and our forefathers, the ancients!'
	18		[ 37. 18 ] Say: 'Yes, but worthless.'
	19		[ 37. 19 ] It will be but one Shout, then see, they are watching
	20		[ 37. 20 ] and they will say: 'Woe for us. This is the Day of Recompense.'
	21		[ 37. 21 ] This is the Day of Decision which you belied.
	22		[ 37. 22 ] Gather together the evildoers, their wives, and that they were worshipping,
	23		[ 37. 23 ] other than Allah, and guide them to the Path of Hell!
	24		[ 37. 24 ] And halt them so that they may be questioned.
	25		[ 37. 25 ] 'Why do you not help one another?
	26		[ 37. 26 ] No, today they will resign themselves in submission,
	27		[ 37. 27 ] and approach each other with questions,
	28		[ 37. 28 ] saying: 'You used to come to us from the right hand.'
	29		[ 37. 29 ] But they reply: 'Rather, you were not believers.
	30		[ 37. 30 ] We had no authority over you, but you were an insolent nation.
	31		[ 37. 31 ] The statement of Our Lord is realized against us, and we are tasting it,
	32		[ 37. 32 ] we perverted you, indeed, we were perverts.'
	33		[ 37. 33 ] Therefore, on that Day they will all share Our punishment.
	34		[ 37. 34 ] As such We shall deal with the evildoers.
	35		[ 37. 35 ] For when it was said to them: 'There is no god except Allah,' they were always proud
	36		[ 37. 36 ] and said: 'Are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet?'
	37		[ 37. 37 ] No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers.
	38		[ 37. 38 ] You shall certainly taste the painful punishment:
	39		[ 37. 39 ] but you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing.
	40		[ 37. 40 ] But for the sincere worshipers of Allah,
	41		[ 37. 41 ] there is waiting for them a known provision;
	42		[ 37. 42 ] fruits. And they are receivers of generosity
	43		[ 37. 43 ] in the Gardens of Delight,
	44		[ 37. 44 ] sitting face to face upon couches,
	45		[ 37. 45 ] a goblet from a spring shall be passed round to them
	46		[ 37. 46 ] white, a delight to the drinkers,
	47		[ 37. 47 ] there is neither sickness in it, nor intoxication.
	48		[ 37. 48 ] And with them will be maidens ( houris ) who restrain their wide glances
	49		[ 37. 49 ] as if they were hidden pearls.
	50		[ 37. 50 ] They will go to one another asking each other questions.
	51		[ 37. 51 ] One of them will say: 'I had a companion
	52		[ 37. 52 ] who would say: " Are you among the believers ( of the resurrection )?
	53		[ 37. 53 ] When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be recompensed? "
	54		[ 37. 54 ] And he will reply: 'Are you looking down ( into Hell )?'
	55		[ 37. 55 ] Then, he will look and see him in the midst of Hell.
	56		[ 37. 56 ] 'By Allah,' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me!
	57		[ 37. 57 ] But for the Favor of Allah I should have surely been among those who were arraigned ( with you in Hell ).
	58		[ 37. 58 ] What then, shall we not die
	59		[ 37. 59 ] except our first death, and shall we not be punished?'
	60		[ 37. 60 ] Indeed, this is the mighty victory,
	61		[ 37. 61 ] and for the like of this let the workers work.
	62		[ 37. 62 ] Is this a better hospitality or the tree of AzZakkum!
	63		[ 37. 63 ] We have made this ( tree ) a trial for the evildoers.
	64		[ 37. 64 ] It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell;
	65		[ 37. 65 ] its spathes are like the heads of satans
	66		[ 37. 66 ] on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies.
	67		[ 37. 67 ] On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water,
	68		[ 37. 68 ] then their return is to Hell.
	69		[ 37. 69 ] They found their fathers in error,
	70		[ 37. 70 ] yet they run in their footsteps,
	71		[ 37. 71 ] yet before them most of the ancients went astray,
	72		[ 37. 72 ] though We had sent among them warners.
	73		[ 37. 73 ] See then the end of those who were warned,
	74		[ 37. 74 ] except the sincere worshipers of Allah.
	75		[ 37. 75 ] Noah called to Us, and We are the Best to answer.
	76		[ 37. 76 ] We saved him and his people from the great distress,
	77		[ 37. 77 ] and We made his offspring the survivors.
	78		[ 37. 78 ] And We let it remain upon him in the latter:
	79		[ 37. 79 ] 'Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds.'
	80		[ 37. 80 ] As such We recompense the gooddoers,
	81		[ 37. 81 ] he was one of Our believing worshipers.
	82		[ 37. 82 ] Afterwards We drowned the others.
	83		[ 37. 83 ] Of his party was Abraham.
	84		[ 37. 84 ] ( Remember when ) he came to his Lord with a pure heart;
	85		[ 37. 85 ] and when he said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship?
	86		[ 37. 86 ] It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah!
	87		[ 37. 87 ] What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds?'
	88		[ 37. 88 ] He cast a glance at the stars
	89		[ 37. 89 ] and said: 'Surely, I am sick ( of what you worship )!'
	90		[ 37. 90 ] But they turned their backs and went away from him.
	91		[ 37. 91 ] Then he turned to their gods, and said: 'What do you eat?
	92		[ 37. 92 ] What is the matter with you, that you do not speak?'
	93		[ 37. 93 ] And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand.
	94		[ 37. 94 ] Thereafter they ( the people ) came to him in haste.
	95		[ 37. 95 ] He said: 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carved
	96		[ 37. 96 ] when it is Allah who created you and all that you do?'
	97		[ 37. 97 ] They replied: 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire.'
	98		[ 37. 98 ] Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the humiliated.
	99		[ 37. 99 ] He said: 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me.
	100		[ 37. 100 ] My Lord, grant me a righteous ( son ).'
	101		[ 37. 101 ] And We gave him the glad tidings of a very gentle son ( Ishmael ).
	102		[ 37. 102 ] And when he reached the age of traveling with him, he said: 'My son, while I was sleeping I saw that I shall slaughter ( sacrifice ) you, tell me what is your opinion.' He replied: 'Father, do as you are ordered ( by Allah ). Allah willing, you shall find me one of those who are steadfast.'
	103		[ 37. 103 ] And when they had both submitted, and his son had laid down prostrate upon his forehead,
	104		[ 37. 104 ] We called to him, saying: 'O Abraham,
	105		[ 37. 105 ] you have confirmed your vision.' As such We recompense the gooddoers.
	106		[ 37. 106 ] That was indeed a clear trial.
	107		[ 37. 107 ] So, We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice,
	108		[ 37. 108 ] and We let it ( the beautiful praise ) remain upon him in the latter ( generations ),
	109		[ 37. 109 ] 'Peace be upon Abraham!'
	110		[ 37. 110 ] As such We recompense the gooddoers.
	111		[ 37. 111 ] He was one of Our believing worshipers.
	112		[ 37. 112 ] Then, We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the righteous,
	113		[ 37. 113 ] and We blessed him and Isaac, and from their offspring are some gooddoers, and others who clearly wronged themselves.
	114		[ 37. 114 ] We also favored Moses and Aaron
	115		[ 37. 115 ] and We saved them with their nation from a great distress.
	116		[ 37. 116 ] We helped them, and they became victorious,
	117		[ 37. 117 ] and We gave them the Clear Book,
	118		[ 37. 118 ] and guided them upon the Straight Path.
	119		[ 37. 119 ] And We let it ( the beautiful praise ) remain upon on both of them in the latter ( generations ),
	120		[ 37. 120 ] 'Peace be upon Moses and Aaron!'
	121		[ 37. 121 ] As such We recompense the gooddoers.
	122		[ 37. 122 ] They were among Our believing worshipers.
	123		[ 37. 123 ] And Elias ( El Yaseen ) was among the Messengers.
	124		[ 37. 124 ] He asked his people: 'Do you not fear ( Allah )?
	125		[ 37. 125 ] Do you call on Ba'lan ( the idol Baal ) and abandon the Best Creator,
	126		[ 37. 126 ] Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.'
	127		[ 37. 127 ] But they belied him, so they will be among the arraigned ( in Hell ),
	128		[ 37. 128 ] except the sincere worshipers of Allah.
	129		[ 37. 129 ] And We let it ( the beautiful praise ) remain upon him in the latter ( generations ),
	130		[ 37. 130 ] 'Peace be upon El Yaseen!'
	131		[ 37. 131 ] As such We recompense the gooddoers.
	132		[ 37. 132 ] He was among Our believing worshipers.
	133		[ 37. 133 ] Lot, too, was among the Messengers.
	134		[ 37. 134 ] We saved him and all his kinsmen,
	135		[ 37. 135 ] except an old woman who lingered,
	136		[ 37. 136 ] and We destroyed the others.
	137		[ 37. 137 ] You pass by them in the morning
	138		[ 37. 138 ] and at night, will you not understand?
	139		[ 37. 139 ] Jonah, too, was one of the Messengers.
	140		[ 37. 140 ] He ran away to the laden ship,
	141		[ 37. 141 ] and cast lots, and he was among the losers ( of the lots that were cast ).
	142		[ 37. 142 ] So the whale swallowed him, for he was blameworthy,
	143		[ 37. 143 ] and had he not been among those who exalt ( Allah ),
	144		[ 37. 144 ] he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are resurrected.
	145		[ 37. 145 ] But We cast him, upon the shore, and he was ill,
	146		[ 37. 146 ] and We caused a pumpkin tree to grow over him.
	147		[ 37. 147 ] Then We sent him to a hundred thousand or more,
	148		[ 37. 148 ] and they believed, and We gave them enjoyment for awhile.
	149		[ 37. 149 ] Now, ask them, has your Lord daughters, and they sons?
	150		[ 37. 150 ] Or, did We create the angels females while they were witnessing?
	151		[ 37. 151 ] Then is it of their lying that they say:
	152		[ 37. 152 ] 'Allah has begotten?' They are truly liars.
	153		[ 37. 153 ] Has He chosen daughters above sons?
	154		[ 37. 154 ] What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
	155		[ 37. 155 ] What, will you not remember?
	156		[ 37. 156 ] Or, do you have a clear authority?
	157		[ 37. 157 ] Bring your Book, if what you say is true!
	158		[ 37. 158 ] They assert kinship between Him and the angels. But the angels know that they ( the liars ) will be arraigned ( in Hell ).
	159		[ 37. 159 ] Exaltations to Allah above what they describe,
	160		[ 37. 160 ] except for the sincere worshipers of Allah.
	161		[ 37. 161 ] But as for you, and that you worship,
	162		[ 37. 162 ] you shall tempt none against Him
	163		[ 37. 163 ] except for he who shall roast in Hell.
	164		[ 37. 164 ] ( Gabriel said to the Prophet ): 'Each of us has a known place.
	165		[ 37. 165 ] We are surely those who are arranged in ranks.
	166		[ 37. 166 ] And we are they who exalt ( Allah ).'
	167		[ 37. 167 ] What, would they then say:
	168		[ 37. 168 ] 'If only we had a reminder from the ancients,
	169		[ 37. 169 ] we would have been sincere worshipers of Allah.'
	170		[ 37. 170 ] But they disbelieve in it ( the Koran ), but soon they shall know!
	171		[ 37. 171 ] Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers,
	172		[ 37. 172 ] that they shall receive Our help
	173		[ 37. 173 ] and Our armies shall be the victors.
	174		[ 37. 174 ] So turn ( away ) from them for a while.
	175		[ 37. 175 ] See them and soon they shall see.
	176		[ 37. 176 ] What, do they seek to hasten Our punishment?
	177		[ 37. 177 ] When it descends upon their courtyards, evil will be the morning of those forewarned.
	178		[ 37. 178 ] So turn ( away ) from them for a while,
	179		[ 37. 179 ] and see, soon they shall see!
	180		[ 37. 180 ] Exaltations be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above that they describe!
	181		[ 37. 181 ] Peace be on the Messengers.
	182		[ 37. 182 ] And praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
