ASH SHAAFFAAT (YANG BER SHAF-SHAF)

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

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

مَا أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ

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

وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ

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

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah ."

وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنْ الْأَوَّلِينَ

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

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah ."

فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

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

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ

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

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنصُورُونَ

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

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

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ

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

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

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

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاء صَبَاحُ الْمُنذَرِينَ

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

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ

And leave them for a time.

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

And see, for they are going to see.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

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