سورة الصف

61. Surah As-Saf
The Ranks

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

What is in the heavens and what is in the earth gives glory to God; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۚ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Sabbaha lillahi ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

O you who heed warning: why do you say what you do not?

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoolima taqooloona ma la tafAAaloon

Great is the hatred in the sight of God, that you say what you do not.

كَبُرَ مَقْتاً عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

Kabura maqtan AAinda Allahi antaqooloo ma la tafAAaloon

God loves those who fight in His cause in ranks, as though they were a compacted structure.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذ۪ينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِه۪ صَفاًّ كَاَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ

Inna Allaha yuhibbu allatheenayuqatiloona fee sabeelihi saffan kaannahum bunyanunmarsoos

And when Moses said to his people: “O my people: why do you hinder me when you know that I am the messenger of God to you?” Then when they deviated, God caused their hearts to deviate; and God guides not the perfidious people.

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِه۪ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَن۪ي وَقَدْ تَعْلَمُونَ اَنّ۪ي رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيْكُمْۜ فَلَمَّا زَاغُٓوا اَزَاغَ اللّٰهُ قُلُوبَهُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِق۪ينَ

Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi ya qawmi lima tu/thoonanee waqadtaAAlamoona annee rasoolu Allahi ilaykum falamma zaghooazagha Allahu quloobahum wallahu layahdee alqawma alfasiqeen

And when Jesus, son of Mary said: “O children of Israel: I am the messenger of God to you, confirming what is before me of the Torah, and bringing glad tidings of a messenger coming after me, whose name is more praiseworthy.” Then when he came to them with clear signs, they said: “This is obvious sorcery.”

وَاِذْ قَالَ ع۪يسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ اِنّ۪ي رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيْكُمْ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَا بَـيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرٰيةِ وَمُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولٍ يَأْت۪ي مِنْ بَعْدِي اسْمُهُٓ اَحْمَدُۜ فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْ بِالْبَـيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Wa-ith qala AAeesa ibnumaryama ya banee isra-eela innee rasoolu Allahiilaykum musaddiqan lima bayna yadayya mina attawratiwamubashshiran birasoolin ya/tee min baAAdee ismuhu ahmadufalamma jaahum bilbayyinati qaloohatha sihrun mubeen

And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about God, when he is invited to submission? And God guides not the wrongdoing people.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْـكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعٰٓى اِلَى الْاِسْلَامِۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Waman athlamu mimmani iftaraAAala Allahi alkathiba wahuwa yudAAaila al-islami wallahu layahdee alqawma aththalimeen

They want to extinguish the light of God with their mouths; but God will perfect His light, though the false claimers of guidance be averse.

يُر۪يدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُ۫ا نُورَ اللّٰهِ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللّٰهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِه۪ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْـكَافِرُونَ

Yureedoona liyutfi-oo noora Allahibi-afwahihim wallahu mutimmu noorihi walawkariha alkafiroon

He it is that sent His messenger with the guidance and the doctrine of truth that He might make it manifest over all doctrine, though the idolaters be averse.

هُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدٰى وَد۪ينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدّ۪ينِ كُلِّه۪ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ۟

Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bilhudawadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala addeenikullihi walaw kariha almushrikoon

O you who heed warning: shall I direct you to a trade that will deliver you from a painful punishment?

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى تِجَارَةٍ تُنْج۪يكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ اَل۪يمٍ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoohal adullukum AAala tijaratin tunjeekum min AAathabinaleem

You believe in God and His messenger and strive in the cause of God with your wealth and your lives — that is best for you, if you but knew —

تُـؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ وَاَنْفُسِكُمْۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَـكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَۙ

Tu/minoona billahiwarasoolihi watujahidoona fee sabeeli Allahi bi-amwalikumwaanfusikum thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoon

(He will forgive you your transgressions, and make you enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, and goodly dwellings in gardens of perpetual abode. That is the Great Achievement.)

يَغْفِرْ لَـكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْـكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ وَمَسَا‌كِنَ طَيِّبَةً ف۪ي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍۜ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظ۪يمُۙ

Yaghfir lakum thunoobakumwayudkhilkum jannatin tajree min tahtihaal-anharu wamasakina tayyibatan fee jannatiAAadnin thalika alfawzu alAAatheem

But you love another. Help from God and a near victory. And give thou glad tidings to the believers.

وَاُخْرٰى تُحِبُّونَهَاۜ نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَر۪يبٌۜ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Waokhra tuhibboonaha nasrunmina Allahi wafathun qarreebun wabashshirialmu/mineen

O you who heed warning: be helpers of God, as Jesus, son of Mary, said to the disciples: “Who are my helpers for God?” The disciples said: “We are the helpers of God.” And a number of the children of Israel believed, and a number denied, and We strengthened those who heeded warning against their enemy so they became dominant.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كُونُٓوا اَنْصَارَ اللّٰهِ كَمَا قَالَ ع۪يسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيّ۪نَ مَنْ اَنْصَار۪ٓي اِلَى اللّٰهِۜ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ اَنْصَارُ اللّٰهِ فَاٰمَنَتْ طَٓائِفَةٌ مِنْ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَ وَكَـفَرَتْ طَٓائِفَةٌۚ فَاَيَّدْنَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا عَلٰى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَاَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِر۪ينَ
