--- |
|---|
| 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 |
