Surah Saffaat

Surah Saffaat: Those who follow the truths, the pure ones, those who take sides

1-To those who follow the straight truths.

2-To those who move in the truths.

3-Thus, to those who follow the truths.

4-Certainly, the power that created you is One.

5-He who creates everything in the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them, and He is theOwner of the creation in all births.

6-We have adorned the Sublime World with Our light, and we have adorned the world with Ourinfinite manifestation.

7-He who deviates from the truths and is in satanic states cannot understand the One who preserveseverything.

8-Even if he listens to those in exalted positions, he cannot understand them and is far fromunderstanding the truths that surround all places.

9-He is in a state of loss and those who are in such a state are in constant trouble.

10-Whoever hears a word of truth and considers it for his own benefit will quickly be subject to ablazing fire.

11-Let them then investigate: Is the power in creation theirs, or is it Ours who created everything? Wecreated them from a single essence, in a single whole.

12-On the contrary, you are astonished in understanding creation, but they do not care.

13-When it is said to them, “Understand the realities,” they do not think deeply to understand thecreation of the being.

14-When it is said to them, “See the signs in all existence,” they do not care.

15-16-17- They say: This is a clear deception. When we die, after we have become dust anddispersed, will we be alive? And our ancestors?

18-Say: Yes, and you look down on the realities.

19-But, if they had not turned away from understanding the one, then they would have been amongthose who see the realities.

20-They say: Woe to us! We have always avoided understanding the laws of creation.

21-Because you have remained in such states and denied the truths, you have always remained indivisions.

22-The wrongdoers and those who are on the same path with them and who do not understand theirservitude are together.

23-He who seeks guidance other than Allah takes as his guide the burning of his own ignorance as hisguide.

24-What sustains them? Surely, they are responsible for understanding the truths.

25-You are not helping each other.

26-On the contrary, those who understand the truths are always in submission.

27-Some of them accept some of them and help those who seek the truths.

28-They said: Indeed, you have come to us in search of the truth.

29-30-They said: Indeed, you were not believers, and when you came to us, you were not on clearproofs. On the contrary, you were inclined to falsehood.

31-Here is the truth for us; the manifestations of the One who created us, and we are certainly in thesense of the truths.

32-So, we have remained in lies like you. Indeed, we were previously astray from the path of truth.

33-Surely, those who are in that state are always in a common distress.

34-Those who remain in evil do not understand Our functioning in every being.

35-Indeed, when it is said to them, There is no refuge except in Allah, they become arrogant.

36-They say, should we abandon our deities for someone who does not know what he is saying?

37-Rather, he has presented the truths and confirmed those who presented them.

38-Surely, those of you who do not accept the truths presented will be in the sense of painful distress.

39-You will not find any reward other than what you have done.

40-Except for those who understand that they are servants of Allah with all their essence.

41-Here they are aware of the attributes given to them.

42-They are in the perfection of the realities and they have understood where the attributes come from.

43-They are in the presence of understanding all manifestations.

44-They are in the course of the sublime stations.

45-They return with the pleasure of the light flowing from its source in their hearts.

46-They are in the feeling of being pure, in the pleasure of the realities.

47-There is no state of ignorance that corrupts the minds and there is no forgetfulness of the realities inthem.

48-They look wherever they look with the pleasure of unity.49-Thus, they protect their essence without falling into duality.

50-Some of them accept some and help those who seek the realities.

51-One of them says: Indeed, I have understood what closeness is.

52- It will be said to him: You have certainly been one of those who have confirmed the truth.

53-They say: Will we be held accountable when we die and become dust and bones?

54-It will be said to them: You will surely know about closeness.

55-After this, you will look at the station to understand closeness, so you will realize the truth, youwill pass from the ignorance of self and you will be in unity.

56-It is stated that you will know that Allah is real, that He is always functioning in your bodies, andthat His attributes are not destroyed.

57-58-59-If you knew, if it were not for the attributes of my Lord, I would certainly not have beencreated. Are we not mortals? But, we understood death before we died, and we are not in distress.

60-Surely, this is the sublime salvation.

61-Those who act after this should act to reach this truth.

62-Are these truths presented better or is it to convey harmful states?

63-Surely, those truths we presented are for the wrongdoers to know the real Owner of existence andto submit.

64-Surely, the source of those evil states is the ignorance of attributing existence to oneself, within theself.

65-That is where the beginning of satanic states originates.

66-The wrongdoers feed on those states. They always fill themselves with those states.

67-Then, their states are mixed states like anger and rage.

68-Then, indeed they are in the ignorance of attributing existence to themselves.

69-Indeed they found their fathers astray from the truths.

70-So, they followed their footsteps.

71-Indeed, many of those before them were astray from the truths.

72-Indeed, from among them there appeared those who explained Our truths and warned.

73-And see what was the end of those who did not follow them, even though the truths were explainedto them.

74-Except those who understood that they were Allah’s servants with all their heart.

75-Indeed, Noah turned to Us, then he was the one who responded to Us with kindness.

76-He and his family passed through great hardships, and found safety in Us.

77-We made his descendants eternal.

78-We have made their virtues remembered for the people who came after them.

79-Noah was in peace and tranquility among the people.

80-Surely, such is the reward for him who understands Us and is completely devoted to Us.

81-Surely, he was of those who are certain that he is Our servant.

82-And those who could not understand Us drowned in their ignorance.

83-And Abraham was of those who followed the path of Noah.

84-He came to his Lord with a pure heart.

85-He said to his father and his people: Whom are you servants to?

86-Do you create deities instead of Allah, and turn to them?

87-The Lord of the worlds is not as you think.

88-And Abraham looked with a perceptive gaze to understand every part of existence.

89-Then he said: I am in difficulty.90-Then they turned away from him and went away

91-He turned to their vain deities, then he said: You neither eat nor do you speak.

92-And you are not the ones who speak.

93-He struck their vain deities with force.

94-So he walked quickly and faced his people.

95-He said: Do you worship what you carve?

96-He created what your hands make and worship, just as Allah created you.

97-They said: Make a great thing for him, then throw him there in his transgression of ignorance.

98-So, they wanted to plot against him, so they did not understand Us and remained in their miserablestate.

99-Abraham said: My Lord guides me. I act upon His truths.

100-O my Lord! Grant me a righteous man.

101-Thus We gave him the good news of a forbearing son.

102-So, when he reached a period of search, he was with him in search of the truths. He said: O myson! I saw you passing through your existence in meaning. What do you think about this? He said: Omy father! Do what you have to do. Fortunately, you will find me among the patient.

103- And he passed through all thoughts and submitted. Thus, both of them were in a state ofsubmission.

104- He and Abraham heard Our call from all existence.

105- He clung to the truths he saw with fidelity. Surely, those who are attached to Us with all theiressence will have the reward of understanding Us.

106- Indeed, this is so that you may think carefully, so that you may understand those truths clearly.

107-Thus, Abraham and Ishmael were overcome with exaltation with the realization that the body theywere given belonged to Us.

108-And We left it as a lesson for those who came after.

109-And Abraham was in peace and tranquility.

110-Such is the reward for the one who is completely devoted.

111-Surely, he was one of those who are sure that he is Our servant.

112-And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, who will be one of the righteous, and will inform themof the truth.

113-And Isaac was enlightened by Our attributes. And from their descendants there were those whowere completely devoted, and some who were manifestly unjust to themselves.

114-And Moses and Aaron were of those who understood Our blessings.

115-They and their people were in great distress, but they found safety in Us.

116-And they found help in Us, so they were successful in the path of truth.

117-And they were of those who understood that We had presented every being as a book showing thetruth clearly.

118-And they were on the straight path, and they found guidance in Us

119-And We left it as a lesson for the people who came after them.

120-And Moses and Aaron were in peace.

121-Surely, such is the reward for those who understand Us and are completely devoted to Us.

122-Surely, they were of the servants who are sure of the truth.

123-Surely, Elijah was of those who came forth to explain the truth.

124-He said to his people: Do you not remain in evil and fear associating others with Allah?

125-Will you abandon the One who created all things best and turn to the idol called Ba’l?

126-He is Allah who created your forefathers and created you.

127-But they denied him and indeed they exalted themselves.

128-Except those who are servants of Allah with all their essence.

129-And We left it as a lesson for those who came after.

130-And Elijah was in peace and tranquility.

131-Surely, such is the reward for him who understands Us and is completely devoted to Us.

132-Surely, he was one of those who are sure that he is Our servant.

133-And Lot was certainly one of those who came forth to explain the truth.

134-He and his family all found salvation in Us.135-Except those who remained in ignorance and lacked wisdom.

136-Then, the others who remained in ignorance were deprived of understanding Us.

137-Will you not take a lesson from them and be shaken?

138-Will you wake up from heedlessness and never use your mind?

139-Indeed, Yunus was among those who came out to explain the truths.

140-He carried the weight of the truths and took refuge in the Owner of eternity.

141-Thus, he understood that he was not the Owner of his power and surrendered with all his being.

142-Thus, he plunged into a sea and he was a Melami.

143-144- If he had not been the one who perceived the manifestations in every being, he would haveremained in his own knowledge and would never have understood what is alive in all being.

145-Thus, he stripped himself of all his being and left himself to Us and passed away from all hisstrength.146-And he understood that all the attributes on him belonged to Us, so that all existence emanatedfrom one essence.

147-And He appeared to many in his people to tell them about Us, the essence that holds all existencetogether.

148-So they believed, then they benefited from Our truths for a while.

149-Then, some of them attributed the female children to their Lord and the male children tothemselves.

150-Or did We create the angels as females and they were witnesses?

151-What they say is not the truth. Surely, what they say is because they keep lying.

152-They say, “Allah has begotten children.” And indeed, they are those who keep lying.

153-They preferred girls to boys, and they lied.

154-You are not the ones who can distinguish between truth and falsehood.

155-Do you not want to think about the truth and understand it?

156-Or do you have a clear proof?

157-Bring your book if you claim to be telling the truth.

158-What they do and what they do among themselves without knowing what they do is somethingthey have learned from the lies that have come down from the past. They are in a state of smartmouthness.

159-Allah is free from imperfections, beyond description.

160-161-162-Except those who are servants of Allah with all their essence; they do not serve anythingelse and nothing can turn them away without careful consideration.

163-Except those who are in ignorance of attributing qualities to Himself, they stray from the path oftruth.

164-Only those who are in a certain station know Us.

165-They have returned to Us upon the straight truths.

166-They are only aware of the manifestations that belong to Us.

167-168-169-And there are those who say: If only we had been of those who knew beforehand whatwas told to us. Then, surely we would have been with all our essence.

170-Those who ignored the truths, perhaps they will soon understand.

171-Those who understood that they were Our servants and came out to tell the truths acted upon Ourtruths.

172-Surely, they are the ones who understood the truths and were successful.

173-Surely, all existence belongs to Us. Surely We are the ones who have dominion over them.

174-So, stay away from those who remain in their ignorance for a certain time.

175-Look at them and observe. Perhaps they will see the truths soon.

176-Are not those who are in a hurry, those who are far from understanding Us, in trouble?

177-The truths were presented to them according to their position, but they did not wake up despitebeing explained and warned, and they remained in bad states.

178-Now stay away from those who remain in their ignorance for a certain time.

179-Look at them and observe. Perhaps they will see the truth soon.

180-Your Lord is far above all imperfections. The glory of your Lord cannot be described.

181-Those who come out to tell the truth are in peace and tranquility.

182- Allah is the One who creates everything and owns all qualities.
