37:1  By the angels ranged in ranks

37:2  By the angels driving away

37:3  By the angels reciting the praise

37:4  Verily your God is One

37:5  Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is in- between the twain, and Lord of the easts

37:6  Verily We! We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment: the stars

37:7  And have placed therein a guard against any Satan froward

37:8  They cannot listen to the exalted assembly, and they are darted at from every side

37:9  With a driving fusillade, and theirs shall be a torment perpetual

37:10  Except him who snatcheth away a word by stealth, and him then pursueth a glowing flame

37:11  Ask them thou: are they stronger in structure or those others whom We have created? Verily We! We have created them of a sticky clay

37:12  Aye! thou marvellest, and they scoff

37:13  And when they are admonished, they receive not admcnition

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

37:15  And they say: this Qur'an is naught but magic manifest

37:16  When we have become dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then verily be raised

37:17  And also our forefathers

37:18  Say thou: and verily ye; shall then be despicable

37:19  It shall be but one shout, lo! they shall be staring

37:20  And they will say: Ah! woe be Unto us! this is the Day of Requital

37:21  This is the Day of Judgment which ye were wont to belie

37:22  Gather together those who did wrong and their comrades and that which they were wont to worshi

37:23  Beside Allah, and lead them on to the path of the Flaming Fire

37:24  And stop them; verily they are to be questioned

37:25  What aileth you that ye succour not one another

37:26  Nay! on that Day they will be entirely submissive

37:27  And they will advance toward each other mutually questioning

37:28  They will say: verily ye! ye were wont to come Unto us Imposing

37:29  They will say: nay! ye yourselves were not believers

37:30  And we had over you no authority, but ye were a people exorbitant

37:31  So on us hath been justified the sentence of our Lord: verily we are to taste

37:32  We seduced you astray; verily we were ourselves the seduced ones

37:33  So verily on that Day they all in the torment will be sharers

37:34  Verily We! in this wise We deal with the culprits

37:35  Verily when it was said Unto them: there is no god but Allah, they ever grew stiff-necked

37:36  And they said: are we going to abandon our gods on account of a Poet distracted

37:37  Aye! he hath come with the truth, and he confesseth to the sent ones

37:38  Verily ye are going to taste a torment afflictive

37:39  And ye shall be required not except for that which ye have been doing

37:40  But the bondmen of Allah, the sincere ones

37:41  Those! theirs shall be a provision known

37:42  Fruits! And they shall be honoured

37:43  In Gardens of Delight

37:44  On couches, facing one another

37:45  Round shall be passed a cup Unto them filled with limpid drink

37:46  White, a pleasure Unto the drinkers

37:47  No headiness there shall be therein, nor shall they be therewith Inebriated

37:48  And with them shall be damsels of refraining looks, large- eye

37:49  As though they were eggs hidden

37:50  Then they will advance Unto each other, mutually questioning

37:51  And a speaker from among them will say: verily there was Unto me a mate

37:52  Who said: art thou of those who confess to the doctrine of Resurrection

37:53  When we are dead and have become dust and bones, are we indeed going to be requited

37:54  Allah will say: will ye look down

37:55  Then he will look down and see him in the midst of the Flaming Fire

37:56  And he will say: by Allah, thou hadst wellnigh causedest me to perish

37:57  And but for the favourcf my lord, I should have been of those brought forward

37:58  Are we not then to di

37:59  Save our first death, and are we not to be tormented

37:60  Verily this! that is the supreme achievement

37:61  For the like of this, then, let the workers work

37:62  Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum

37:63  Verily We! We have made it a temptation for the wrong- doers

37:64  Verily it is a tree that springeth forth in the bottom of Flaming Fire

37:65  The fruit thereof is as though the hoods of the serpents

37:66  And verily they must eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith

37:67  And thereafter verily they shall have thereon a draught of balling water

37:68  And thereafter verily their return is Unto the Flaming Fire

37:69  Verily they found their fathers gone astray

37:70  So they in their footsteps are rushing

37:71  And assuredly there went stray before them many of the ancients

37:72  And assuredly We sent among them warners

37:73  So behold what wise hath been the end of those who were warned

37:74  Save the bondmen of Allah sincere

37:75  And assuredly Nuh cried Unto us; and We are the Best of answerers

37:76  And We delivered him and his people from the great affliction

37:77  And his offspring! them We made the survivors

37:78  And We left for him among the posterity

37:79  Peace be on Nuh among the worlds

37:80  Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers

37:81  Verily he was of Our bondmen believing

37:82  Then We drowned the others

37:83  And verily of his sect was Ibrahim

37:84  Recall what time he came Unto his lord with a heart whole

37:85  Recall what time he said Unto his father and his people: What is it that ye worship

37:86  Is it a falsehood-god beside Allah - that ye desire

37:87  what, then, is your opinion of the Lord of the worlds

37:88  Then he glanced a glance on the stars

37:89  And he said: verily I am about to be sick

37:90  So they departed from him turning their backs

37:91  Then he slipped Unto their gods and said: eat ye no

37:92  What aileth ye that ye speak not

37:93  Then he slipped Unto them striking them with the right hand

37:94  Then they advanced toward him, hastening

37:95  He said: worship ye that which carve

37:96  Whereas Allah hath created you and that which ye make

37:97  They said. build for him a building and cast him into the flaming fire

37:98  And they devised a plot for him, but We made them the humble

37:99  And he said: verily I am going to my Lord who will guide me

37:100  My Lord! Bestow on me a son who will be of the righteous

37:101  Wherefore We gave him the glad tidings of a boy gentle

37:102  And when he attained the age of, running with him, he said: O my son! verily I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering thee; so look, what considerest thou? He said: O my father! do that which thou art commanded; thou shalt find me, Allah willing, of the patients

37:103  Then when the twain had submitted themselves and he had prostrated him upon his temple

37:104  We cried Unto him: O Ibrahi

37:105  Of a surety thou hast fulfilled the vision. Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers

37:106  Verily that! that was a trial manifest

37:107  And We ransomed him with a mighty victim

37:108  And We left for him among the posterity

37:109  Peace be Unto Ibrahim

37:110  Verily We! thus We compense the well-doers

37:111  Verily he was one of Our believing bondmen

37:112  And We gave him the glad tidings of Is-haq, a prophet, and of the righteous

37:113  And We blessed him and Is-haq; and of their offspring are some well-doers and some who wrong themselves manifestly

37:114  And assuredly We gave grace Unto Musa and Harun

37:115  And delivered them and their people from the great affliction

37:116  And We succoured them so that they became overcomers

37:117  And We vouchsafed Unto the twain a Book luminous

37:118  And We led the twain on Unto the straight path

37:119  And We left for the twain among the posterity

37:120  Peace be Unto Musa and Harun

37:121  Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers

37:122  Verily the twain were of Our bondmen believing

37:123  And verily, llyas was one of the sent ones

37:124  Recall what time he said Unto his people: fear ye not

37:125  Call ye upon Bal and forsake the Best of creators

37:126  Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers

37:127  Then they belied him, so verily they are to be brought up

37:128  Except the bondmen of Allah sincere

37:129  And We left for him among the posterity

37:130  Peace be Unto Elyasin

37:131  Verily We! thus We recompense the well-doers

37:132  Verily he was one of Our bondmen believing

37:133  And verily Lut was of the sent ones

37:134  Recall what time We delivered him and his household, all

37:135  Save an old woman among the lingerers

37:136  Then We annihilated the others

37:137  And surely ye pass by them in the morning

37:138  And at night. Will ye not therefore reflect

37:139  And verily Yunus was Of the sent ones

37:140  Recall what time he ran away Unto a laden ship

37:141  Then he joined the lots, and was of the condemned

37:142  And a fish swallowed him, and he was reproaching himself

37:143  And had he not been of those who hallow Him

37:144  He would have tarried in the belly thereof till the Day when they are raised

37:145  Then We cast him on a bare desert whilst he was sick

37:146  And We caused to grow over him a tree, a gourd

37:147  And We had sent him to a hundred thousand: rather they exceeded

37:148  And they believed, whrefore We let them enjoy life for a season

37:149  Now ask thou them: there for thy Lord daughters and for them sons

37:150  Or created We the angels females while they were witnesses

37:151  Lo! verily it is of their falsehood that they say

37:152  God hath begotten. Verily they are the liars

37:153  Hath He chosen daughters above sons

37:154  What aileth you? How judge ye

37:155  Will ye not then be admonished

37:156  Or, is there for you a clear warrant

37:157  Then bring your book, if ye say sooth

37:158  And they have made a kinship between Him and the jinn a kinship whereas the jinn assuredly know that they are to be brought u

37:159  Hallowed be Allah from that which they ascribe to Him

37:160  Except the bondmen of Allah sincere

37:161  Wherefore verily neither ye nor that which ye worship

37:162  Can tempt anyone to rebel against Him

37:163  Save him Who is to roast in the Flaming Fire

37:164  Of us there is none but hath a station assigned

37:165  And verily we! we are ranged in ranks

37:166  And verily we! we halloW

37:167  And they surely were wont to say

37:168  Had we but an admonition as had the ancients

37:169  Surefy we would have been the bondmen of God sincere

37:170  Yet they disbelieve therein. Presently they shall come to know

37:171  And assuredly Our word hath already gone forth Our bondmen, the sent ones

37:172  That verily they! they shall be made triumphant

37:173  And verily Our host! they are to be overcome

37:174  So turn thou aside from them for a season

37:175  And see them thou; they themselves shall presently see

37:176  Our torment seek they to hasten on

37:177  Then when it descendeth Unto them face to, face, a hapless morn that shall be for those who were Warned

37:178  And turn thou aside from them for a season

37:179  And see thou: they themselves shall presently see

37:180  Hallowed be thine Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they ascribe

37:181  And peace be Unto the sent ones

37:182  And all praise Unto Allah the Lord of the worlds
