Tafsir

<h2>Name</h2><p>The Surah has been titled so after the word <em>al 'adiyat</em> with which it opens.</p><h2>Period of Revelation</h2><p>Whether this is a Makki or a Madani Surah is disputed. Hadrat Abdullah bin Masud, Jabir, Hasan Basri, Ikrimah, and Ata say that it is Makki. Hadrat Anas bin Malik, and Qatadah say that it is Madani; and from Hadrat Ibn Abbas two views have been reported, first that it is a Makki Surah, and second that it is Madani. But the subject matter of the Surah and its style clearly indicate that it is not only Makki but was revealed in the earliest stage in Makkah.</p><h2>Theme and Subject Matter</h2><p>Its objective is to make the people realize how evil man becomes when he denies the Hereafter, or becomes heedless of it, and also to warn them that in the Hereafter not only their visible and apparent deeds but even the secrets hidden in their hearts will be subjected to scrutiny.</p><p>For this purpose, the general chaos and confusion prevailing in Arabia, with which the whole country was in turmoil, has been presented as an argument. Bloodshed, loot and plunder raged on every side. Tribes were subjecting other tribes to raids, and no one could have peaceful sleep at night from fear that some enemy tribe might raid his settlement early in the morning. Every Arab was fully conscious of this state of affairs and realized that it was wrong. Although the plundered bemoaned their miserable, helpless state and the plunderer rejoiced, when the plunderer himself was plundered, he too realized how abject the condition in which the whole nation was involved was. Referring to this very state of affairs, it has been said: Unaware of the second life after death and his accountability before God in it, man has become ungrateful to his Lord and Sustainer. He is using the powers and abilities given by God for perpetrating tyranny and pillage; blinded by the love of worldly wealth he tries to obtain it by every means, however impure and filthy, and his own state itself testifies that by abusing the powers bestowed by his Lord he is being ungrateful to Him. He would never have behaved so, had he known the time when the dead will be raised from the graves, and when the intentions and motives with which he had done all sorts of deeds in the world, will be exposed and brought out before everyone to see. At that time, the Lord and Sustainer of men shall be well informed of what one has done and what punishment or reward one deserves.</p>

Surah As-Saf · La Fila

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

  1. Ayah 1

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

    Todo cuanto existe en los cielos y en la Tierra glorifica a Dios. Él es el Poderoso, el Sabio.

  2. Ayah 2

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

    ¡Creyentes! ¿Por qué dicen una cosa pero hacen otra?

  3. Ayah 3

    كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

    Es aborrecible ante Dios que sus actos no sean coherentes con sus palabras.

  4. Ayah 4

    إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ

    Dios ama a quienes luchan por Su causa en filas ordenadas, como si fueran una edificación sólida.

  5. Ayah 5

    وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِي وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوا أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

    [Recuerden] cuando Moisés dijo a su pueblo: "¡Pueblo mío! ¿Por qué me maltratan a pesar de saber que soy el Mensajero que Dios les ha enviado?" Cuando [su pueblo] se alejó [del Mensaje], Dios desvió sus corazones [alejándolos de la guía]. Dios no guía a los perversos.

  6. Ayah 6

    وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

    Y cuando Jesús, hijo de María, dijo: "¡Oh, hijos de Israel! Yo soy el Mensajero que Dios les ha enviado para corroborar la Tora y anunciar a un Mensajero que vendrá después de mí llamado Ajmad". Pero cuando les mostró los milagros, dijeron [con incredulidad manifiesta]: "¡Esto es pura hechicería!"

  7. Ayah 7

    وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعَىٰ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

    ¿Existe alguien más injusto que quien inventa mentiras acerca de Dios cuando es invitado al Islam? Dios no guía a los injustos.

  8. Ayah 8

    يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

    Pretenden extinguir la luz [del Mensaje] de Dios con las mentiras que pronuncian sus bocas, pero Dios hará que Su luz resplandezca, aunque esto desagrade a los que rechazan el Mensaje.

  9. Ayah 9

    هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ

    Él es Quien ha enviado a Su Mensajero con la Guía y la religión verdadera para que prevalezca sobre todas las religiones, aunque ello disguste a los idólatras.

  10. Ayah 10

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَارَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

    ¡Creyentes! ¿Quieren que les enseñe un negocio que los salvará del castigo doloroso?

  11. Ayah 11

    تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

    [Este buen negocio es que] crean en Dios y en Su Mensajero, contribuyan por la causa de Dios con sus bienes y sus seres, pues ello es lo mejor para ustedes. ¡Si supieran!

  12. Ayah 12

    يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَمَسَاكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

    [Si hacen esto, Dios] perdonará sus pecados y los ingresará en jardines por donde corren ríos, donde habitarán en hermosas moradas en los jardines del Edén. ¡Ese es, sin duda, el éxito grandioso!

  13. Ayah 13

    وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    También les dará algo que aman: "Su auxilio y una pronta victoria". Albricia a los creyentes [con la recompensa que recibirán en esta vida y en la otra].

  14. Ayah 14

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا أَنصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللَّهِ ۖ فَآمَنَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّائِفَةٌ ۖ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ

    ¡Creyentes! Socorran [la religión de] Dios como lo hicieron los discípulos de Jesús, el hijo de María, cuando les dijo: "¿Quiénes me socorrerán en la causa de Dios?" Los discípulos respondieron: "Seremos los socorredores de [la religión de] Dios". Pero un grupo de los Hijos de Israel creyó [en la profecía de Jesús] y otro grupo rechazó su Mensaje. Entonces di Mi apoyo a los creyentes y así vencieron a sus enemigos.

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs are the later Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed in Medina after the Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. They were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
