37:1  And by those ranged in ranks ranging

37:2  Then by the scarers scaring, (This is sometimes meat that the Angles perform such acts

37:3  Then by the reciters of a Remembrance

37:4  Surely your God is indeed One

37:5  The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them both and The Lord of the easts

37:6  Surely We have adorned the lowest heaven with an adornment, the planets

37:7  And (as) a preservation against every insurgent Shatan. (Ever vicious (one), i.e., devil)

37:8  They do not overhear the most Exalted Chiefs, (i.e., angels) and they are pelted (with hurled meteors) from every side

37:9  Rejected, and they will have a lasting torment

37:10  Except him who snatches a snatching (away); then a piercing flaming (meteor) follows him up

37:11  So ask them for a pronouncement: "Are they more valiant as a creation or the ones We created? Surely We created them of clinging clay."

37:12  No indeed, you wonder, and they scoff

37:13  And when they are reminded, they do not remember

37:14  And when they see a sign, they turn it to scoffing

37:15  And they have said, "Decidedly this is nothing except an evident sorcery

37:16  When we die and are dust and bones, will we surely be made to rise again indeed

37:17  And our earliest fathers?"

37:18  Say, "Yes, and you will be (utterly) abject."

37:19  So, surely it is only one scaring, then only then, they are looking on

37:20  And they say, "oh woe to us! This is the Day of Doom." (Or: Judgment; Religion

37:21  This is the Day of Verdict, which you used to cry lies to

37:22  Muster the ones who did injustice, and their spouses, and whatever they were worshiping

37:23  Apart from Allah, and so guide them to the path of Hell-Fire

37:24  And bid them stand; surely they are to be questioned

37:25  How is it that you do not vindicate one another

37:26  No indeed; (but) they are today submitting themselves

37:27  And some of them come forward to others, (Literally: some (others) asking one another (questions)

37:28  They (The seduced) say, "Surely you used to come up to us from the right hand." (i.e. with the Truth)

37:29  They say, "No indeed, but you were not believers

37:30  And in no way did we have any all- binding authority over you; no indeed, (but) you were an inordinate people."

37:31  "So, our Lord's Word (Literally: Saying) has come true against us; surely we are indeed tasting (it)

37:32  So we have misguided you; surely we were (ourselves) misguided."

37:33  So, upon that Day, surely they are partners in the torment

37:34  Surely thus We perform against the criminals

37:35  Surely when it was said to them, "There is no god except Allah, " they were waxing proud

37:36  And they said, "Shall we surely be leaving indeed our gods for a mad poet?"

37:37  No indeed, (but) he has come with the Truth and has sincere (faith) in the Emissaries

37:38  Surely you will indeed be tasting the painful torment

37:39  And in no way will you be recompensed, except according to whatever you were doing

37:40  Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah

37:41  For those there is a known provision

37:42  Fruits-and they will be honored

37:43  In the Gardens of Bliss

37:44  On settees, facing one another

37:45  A cup from a profuse (spring) is passed round for them

37:46  White, delicious to the drinkers

37:47  Wherein there is no insobriety, (Or: havoc, danger) nor are they exhausted (Or: inebriated) thereby

37:48  And in their presence are wide-eyed (maidens), restraining their glances

37:49  As if they were white nestled (jewels)

37:50  So some of them come forward to others, (Literally: some (others) asking one another (questions)

37:51  A speaker of them says, "Surely I used to have a comrade

37:52  He (always) said, Are you surely of the ones who indeed count it sincerely (verified)

37:53  When we die and are dust and bones, will we surely be doomed (Or: judged) indeed?"

37:54  He says, "Are you (all) viewing (him)?"

37:55  So he views (him), and then sees him in the (deepest) level of the Hell-Fire

37:56  He says, "By Allah, (The Arabic is ta-llahi; which a stronger oath than the more usual wa-llahi) decidedly you were almost about to topple me down indeed

37:57  And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, indeed I would have been among the ones presented forward

37:58  Then in no way will we be dead

37:59  Except for our first death, and in no way will we be tormented

37:60  Surely this is indeed that which is magnificent triumph

37:61  For the like of this let the doers do (good deeds)."

37:62  Is this a more charitable (i.e., better) hospitality, or even the Tree of Az-Zaqqum

37:63  Surely We have made it as a temptation (Or: trial) for the unjust

37:64  Surely it is a tree that comes out (Literally: goes out) in the root of Hell-Fire

37:65  Its spathes are as the heads of Shayatun. (Ever-vicious (ones), i.e., devils

37:66  Then surely they will indeed be eating of it, and so of it they will be filling their bellies

37:67  Thereafter on top of it surely they will have indeed an admixture of scalding (water)

37:68  Thereafter surely their return indeed is to Hell-Fire

37:69  Surely they came upon their fathers erring

37:70  So they are made to hurry in their tracks

37:71  And indeed before them already erred away most of the earliest (people)

37:72  And indeed We already sent among them warners

37:73  So look into how was the end of the warned people

37:74  Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah

37:75  And indeed, Nuh (Noah) already called out to Us; (i.e., Allah, through the Angels) so how excellent indeed were The Answerers

37:76  And We safely delivered him and his family from the tremendous agony

37:77  And We made his offspring the ones who are the (enduring) survivors

37:78  And We have left for him (honor) among the later (generations)

37:79  Peace be upon Nuh (Noah) among the worlds

37:80  Surely thus do We recompense the fair-doers

37:81  Surely he is among Our believing bondmen

37:82  Thereafter We drowned the others

37:83  And surely of his sect indeed was Ibrahim (Abraham

37:84  As he came to his Lord with a sound heart

37:85  As he said to his father and his people, "What is it that you worship

37:86  Is it a falsehood, gods apart from Allah, that you are willing (to worship)

37:87  What then is your expectation from The Lord of the worlds?"

37:88  So he looked a look (i.e., gazed at the stars) at the stars

37:89  Yet he said, "Surely I am ailing."

37:90  Then they turned away from him, withdrawing

37:91  So he went apart to their gods; then he said, "Will you not eat

37:92  How is it with you that you do not pronounce (a word

37:93  So he went apart upon them (i.e., their idols) striking with his right hand

37:94  Then they (i.e., the disbelievers) came forward to him in a hurried procession

37:95  He said, "Do you worship what you hew

37:96  And Allah created you and whatever you do

37:97  They said, "Build him a structure, (and) then cast him in the Hell-Fire."

37:98  So they were willing to devise a plot against him; yet We made them the basest

37:99  And he said, "Surely I am going to my Lord, soon He will guide me

37:100  Lord! Bestow upon me one of the righteous."

37:101  So We gave him the good tidings of a forbearing youth

37:102  Then when he (His son) reached the age of endeavoring with him, he said, "O my son, surely I see in a dream (Literally: time of sleeping) that I should slay you; so, look, what do you see?" He said, "O my (dear) father, perform whatever you are commanded; you will soon find me, in case Allah (so) decides, among the patient."

37:103  So, as soon as they had both surrendered, and he dashed him upon his brow

37:104  And We called out to him (saying), "O Ibrahim, (Abraham)

37:105  you have already sincerely (believed) in the vision; surely thus We recompense the fair-doers

37:106  Surely this is indeed what is the evident trial."

37:107  And We ransomed him with a magnificent slain (sacrifice)

37:108  And We have left for him among the later generations

37:109  "Peace be upon Ibrahim." (Abraham

37:110  Thus We recompense the fair-doers

37:111  Surely he is one of Our believing bondmen

37:112  And We gave him the good tidings of Ishaq, (Isaac) a Prophet, one of the righteous

37:113  And We blessed him and Ishaq, and of their (The pronoun is dual; i.e., offspring of the two of them) offspring some are fair-doers, and (some) are evidently unjust to themselves

37:114  And indeed We were already bounteous to Musa (Moses) and Harun. (Aron

37:115  And We safely delivered them both and their people from the tremendous agony

37:116  And We granted them victory, so that they were the ones (who were) overcomers

37:117  And We brought them both the Evidential Book

37:118  And We guided them both in the straight Path

37:119  And We have left for them both among the later (generations)

37:120  "Peace be upon Musa and Harun."

37:121  Surely thus We recompense the fair-doers

37:122  Surely they are both of Our believing bondmen

37:123  And surely Ilyas (Alias=Elijah) is indeed one of the Emissaries

37:124  As he said to his people, "Will you not be pious (towards Allah)

37:125  Do you invoke Bacl, and leave out The Fairest of creators

37:126  Allah, your Lord, and The Lord of your earliest fathers?"

37:127  Yet they cried him lies; then surely they will indeed be presented forward?"

37:128  Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah

37:129  And We have left for him (honor) in the later generations

37:130  Peace be upon Ilyasin!" (Elias

37:131  Surely thus We recompense the fair-doers

37:132  Surely he is one of Our believing bondmen

37:133  And surely Lut (Lot) is indeed one of the Emissaries

37:134  As We safely delivered him and his family all together

37:135  Except an old woman among the laggards

37:136  Thereafter We destroyed the others

37:137  And surely you pass by them in the (early) morning

37:138  And by night; Will you not then consider

37:139  And surely Yunus (Jonah) is indeed one of the Emissaries,

37:140  As he deserted to the laden ship (s)

37:141  Then he cast lots. Yet he was of the rebutted

37:142  So the whale gobbled him, and he was blameworthy

37:143  So had he not been of the extollers (of Allah)

37:144  He would indeed have lingered in its belly until the Day they will be made to rise again

37:145  Then We flung him off upon the naked (shore) and he was ailing

37:146  And We caused to grow over him a tree of gourds

37:147  And We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more. (Literally: they may have increased

37:148  Then they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while

37:149  So, ask them for a pronouncement, "Has your Lord daughters, and they have sons

37:150  Or even did We create the Angels females, and they were witnesses?"

37:151  Verily, surely it is of their falsehood, indeed, (that) they say

37:152  " Allah has begotten!" And surely they are liars indeed

37:153  Has he elected daughters above sons

37:154  How is it with you, how do you judge

37:155  Will you then not be mindful

37:156  Or even do you have an evident all- binding authority

37:157  Then come up with your Book, in case you are sincere

37:158  And they have made up a consanguity between Him and the jinn; and indeed the jinn already know that surely they will indeed be presented forward

37:159  All Extolment be to Allah above what they describe

37:160  Except (for) the most faithful bondmen of Allah

37:161  Yet surely you and whatever you worship

37:162  In no way will you tempt any against Him

37:163  Except (for) him who will roast in Hell-Fire"

37:164  And in no way is there one of us, (i.e., the angels) except that he has a known station

37:165  And surely we, indeed we, are the ones ranged in ranks

37:166  And surely we, indeed we, are the extollers (of Allah)."

37:167  And decidedly they (i.e., the disbelievers) indeed used to say

37:168  "If only we had in our presence a Remembrance (i.e., Scriptures) from the earliest (people)

37:169  Indeed we would be the most faithful bondmen of Allah."

37:170  Yet they disbelieved in it; then eventually they will know

37:171  And indeed Our Word has already gone before to Our bondmen, the Emissaries

37:172  Surely they, indeed they, will be vindicated

37:173  And surely Our hosts, indeed they, will be the overcomers

37:174  So turn away from them for a while

37:175  And behold them; then they will eventually behold

37:176  Do they then seek to hasten Our torment

37:177  So when it comes down in their courtyard, then how odious will be the morning of them that are constantly warned

37:178  And turn away from them for a whil

37:179  And behold; then they will eventually behold

37:180  All Extolment be to your Lord, The Lord of Might, above whatever they describe

37:181  And peace be upon the Emissaries

37:182  And praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds
