37:1  By the aligners (angels) aligning

37:2  and the drivers driving

37:3  and those who recite the Remembranc

37:4  surely, your God is One

37:5  the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them; the Lord of the Easts

37:6  We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets

37:7  a protection against every rebel satan

37:8  so they cannot listen to the High Assembly, for they are pelted from every side

37:9  They are rejected and theirs is an everlasting punishment

37:10  except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame

37:11  So ask them, are they stronger in constitution, or those whom We have created. We have created them of sticky clay

37:12  No, you marvel, while they scoff

37:13  When they are reminded, they do not remember

37:14  When they are shown a sign, they scoff at i

37:15  and say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery!

37:16  What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected

37:17  What, and our forefathers, the ancients!

37:18  Say: 'Yes, but worthless.

37:19  It will be but one Shout, then see, they are watchin

37:20  and they will say: 'Woe for us. This is the Day of Recompense.

37:21  This is the Day of Decision which you belied

37:22  Gather together the evildoers, their wives, and that they were worshipping

37:23  other than Allah, and guide them to the Path of Hell

37:24  And halt them so that they may be questioned

37:25  'Why do you not help one another

37:26  No, today they will resign themselves in submission

37:27  and approach each other with questions

37:28  saying: 'You used to come to us from the right hand.

37:29  But they reply: 'Rather, you were not believers

37:30  We had no authority over you, but you were an insolent nation

37:31  The statement of Our Lord is realized against us, and we are tasting it

37:32  we perverted you, indeed, we were perverts.

37:33  Therefore, on that Day they will all share Our punishment

37:34  As such We shall deal with the evildoers

37:35  For when it was said to them: 'There is no god except Allah, ' they were always prou

37:36  and said: 'Are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

37:37  No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers

37:38  You shall certainly taste the painful punishment

37:39  but you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing

37:40  But for the sincere worshipers of Allah

37:41  there is waiting for them a known provision

37:42  fruits. And they are receivers of generosit

37:43  in the Gardens of Delight

37:44  sitting face to face upon couches

37:45  a goblet from a spring shall be passed round to the

37:46  white, a delight to the drinkers

37:47  there is neither sickness in it, nor intoxication

37:48  And with them will be maidens (houris) who restrain their wide glance

37:49  as if they were hidden pearls

37:50  They will go to one another asking each other questions

37:51  One of them will say: 'I had a companio

37:52  who would say: "Are you among the believers (of the resurrection)

37:53  When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be recompensed?"

37:54  And he will reply: 'Are you looking down (into Hell)?

37:55  Then, he will look and see him in the midst of Hell

37:56  'By Allah, ' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me

37:57  But for the Favor of Allah I should have surely been among those who were arraigned (with you in Hell)

37:58  What then, shall we not di

37:59  except our first death, and shall we not be punished?

37:60  Indeed, this is the mighty victory

37:61  and for the like of this let the workers work

37:62  Is this a better hospitality or the tree of AzZakkum

37:63  We have made this (tree) a trial for the evildoers

37:64  It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell

37:65  its spathes are like the heads of satan

37:66  on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies

37:67  On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water

37:68  then their return is to Hell

37:69  They found their fathers in error

37:70  yet they run in their footsteps

37:71  yet before them most of the ancients went astray

37:72  though We had sent among them warners

37:73  See then the end of those who were warned

37:74  except the sincere worshipers of Allah

37:75  Noah called to Us, and We are the Best to answer

37:76  We saved him and his people from the great distress

37:77  and We made his offspring the survivors

37:78  And We let it remain upon him in the latter

37:79  'Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds.

37:80  As such We recompense the gooddoers

37:81  he was one of Our believing worshipers

37:82  Afterwards We drowned the others

37:83  Of his party was Abraham

37:84  (Remember when) he came to his Lord with a pure heart

37:85  and when he said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship

37:86  It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah

37:87  What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds?

37:88  He cast a glance at the star

37:89  and said: 'Surely, I am sick (of what you worship)!

37:90  But they turned their backs and went away from him

37:91  Then he turned to their gods, and said: 'What do you eat

37:92  What is the matter with you, that you do not speak?

37:93  And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand

37:94  Thereafter they (the people) came to him in haste

37:95  He said: 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carve

37:96  when it is Allah who created you and all that you do?

37:97  They replied: 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire.

37:98  Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the humiliated

37:99  He said: 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me

37:100  My Lord, grant me a righteous (son).

37:101  And We gave him the glad tidings of a very gentle son (Ishmael)

37:102  And when he reached the age of traveling with him, he said: 'My son, while I was sleeping I saw that I shall slaughter (sacrifice) you, tell me what is your opinion. ' He replied: 'Father, do as you are ordered (by Allah). Allah willing, you shall find me one of those who are steadfast.

37:103  And when they had both submitted, and his son had laid down prostrate upon his forehead

37:104  We called to him, saying: 'O Abraham

37:105  you have confirmed your vision. ' As such We recompense the gooddoers

37:106  That was indeed a clear trial

37:107  So, We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice

37:108  and We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations)

37:109  'Peace be upon Abraham!

37:110  As such We recompense the gooddoers

37:111  He was one of Our believing worshipers

37:112  Then, We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the righteous

37:113  and We blessed him and Isaac, and from their offspring are some gooddoers, and others who clearly wronged themselves

37:114  We also favored Moses and Aaro

37:115  and We saved them with their nation from a great distress

37:116  We helped them, and they became victorious

37:117  and We gave them the Clear Book

37:118  and guided them upon the Straight Path

37:119  And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon on both of them in the latter (generations)

37:120  'Peace be upon Moses and Aaron!

37:121  As such We recompense the gooddoers

37:122  They were among Our believing worshipers

37:123  And Elias (El Yaseen) was among the Messengers

37:124  He asked his people: 'Do you not fear (Allah)

37:125  Do you call on Ba'lan (the idol Baal) and abandon the Best Creator

37:126  Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.

37:127  But they belied him, so they will be among the arraigned (in Hell)

37:128  except the sincere worshipers of Allah

37:129  And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations)

37:130  'Peace be upon El Yaseen!

37:131  As such We recompense the gooddoers

37:132  He was among Our believing worshipers

37:133  Lot, too, was among the Messengers

37:134  We saved him and all his kinsmen

37:135  except an old woman who lingered

37:136  and We destroyed the others

37:137  You pass by them in the mornin

37:138  and at night, will you not understand

37:139  Jonah, too, was one of the Messengers

37:140  He ran away to the laden ship

37:141  and cast lots, and he was among the losers (of the lots that were cast)

37:142  So the whale swallowed him, for he was blameworthy

37:143  and had he not been among those who exalt (Allah)

37:144  he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are resurrected

37:145  But We cast him, upon the shore, and he was ill

37:146  and We caused a pumpkin tree to grow over him

37:147  Then We sent him to a hundred thousand or more

37:148  and they believed, and We gave them enjoyment for awhile

37:149  Now, ask them, has your Lord daughters, and they sons

37:150  Or, did We create the angels females while they were witnessing

37:151  Then is it of their lying that they say

37:152  'Allah has begotten? ' They are truly liars

37:153  Has He chosen daughters above sons

37:154  What is the matter with you? How do you judge

37:155  What, will you not remember

37:156  Or, do you have a clear authority

37:157  Bring your Book, if what you say is true

37:158  They assert kinship between Him and the angels. But the angels know that they (the liars) will be arraigned (in Hell)

37:159  Exaltations to Allah above what they describe

37:160  except for the sincere worshipers of Allah

37:161  But as for you, and that you worship

37:162  you shall tempt none against Hi

37:163  except for he who shall roast in Hell

37:164  (Gabriel said to the Prophet): 'Each of us has a known place

37:165  We are surely those who are arranged in ranks

37:166  And we are they who exalt (Allah).

37:167  What, would they then say

37:168  'If only we had a reminder from the ancients

37:169  we would have been sincere worshipers of Allah.

37:170  But they disbelieve in it (the Koran), but soon they shall know

37:171  Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers

37:172  that they shall receive Our hel

37:173  and Our armies shall be the victors

37:174  So turn (away) from them for a while

37:175  See them and soon they shall see

37:176  What, do they seek to hasten Our punishment

37:177  When it descends upon their courtyards, evil will be the morning of those forewarned

37:178  So turn (away) from them for a while

37:179  and see, soon they shall see

37:180  Exaltations be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above that they describe

37:181  Peace be on the Messengers

37:182  And praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds
