37:1  By those who lined up in rows,

37:2  and those who drive away (evil or clouds) strongly,

37:3  and those reading a reminder,

37:4  that your god is certainly One,

37:5  the Lord of the skies and the earth and whatever between them, and the Lord of the easts.

37:6  Indeed, We beautified the sky of the world with beauty of the stars

37:7  and as a guard against every defiant devil.

37:8  They cannot listen to the high assembly, for they are pelted from every side,

37:9  chased away, and they will have an everlasting punishment,

37:10  except someone who snatches (and overhears) the snatch (the word), then a piercing shooting flame follows him.

37:11  So, ask their opinion: “Are they a harder creation or those whom We created (such as angels and the universe)?” Indeed, We created them from sticky clay.

37:12  Rather, you are surprised while they ridicule.

37:13  And when they are reminded, they do not take notice.

37:14  And when they see a sign they ridicule,

37:15  and they say: “This is only an obvious magic,

37:16  will we be raised after we are dead and turned into dust and bones,

37:17  or our forefathers?”

37:18  Say: “Yes, and you will be humiliated.”

37:19  It is only a single shout, and then they see,

37:20  and they say: “Woe to us, this is the Judgment Day.”

37:21  This is the day of separation/decision, the one that you used to deny.

37:22  Gather those who did wrong and their kinds and what they used to serve

37:23  besides God, and lead them to the path of hellfire.

37:24  And stop them (on the way), indeed they are questioned (and are responsible).

37:25  What is with you that you do not help each other?

37:26  No, but today they are surrendered.

37:27  And they turn to each other asking one another,

37:28  they say: “Indeed, you were coming to us from the right (to seduce us).”

37:29  They (the others) say: “No, but you were not believers,

37:30  and there was no authority for us over you, but you were rebellious people,

37:31  so, the word of our Lord is justified against us, indeed we will taste (the punishment).

37:32  So, we misled you, as we were indeed misled.”

37:33  And indeed, on that day they are partners in the punishment.

37:34  Indeed, that is what We do to the guilty ones.

37:35  Indeed, when it was said to them there is no god except God, they were arrogant (and did not accept).

37:36  And they would say: “Should we give up our gods for a mad poet?”

37:37  No, but he brought the truth and confirmed the messengers (before him).

37:38  Indeed, you will taste the painful punishment.

37:39  And you are only punished for what you used to do.

37:40  Except for God's devoted servants.

37:41  They have a known provision,

37:42  (all kinds of) fruits, and they are honored

37:43  in the gardens of delight,

37:44  on sofas facing each other.

37:45  A cup of spring water is circulated among them,

37:46  white and delicious for the drinkers,

37:47  no sickness in it, and they do not get exhausted (and drunk) from it.

37:48  And with them will be girls with restrained glances and beautiful eyes,

37:49  as if they were protected eggs (or pearls).

37:50  And they turn to each other asking one another.

37:51  A talker among them says: “Indeed, I had a close friend”

37:52  saying: “Are you among those confirming (the Resurrection and the Judgment)?

37:53  Would we indeed be judged when we die and become dust and bones?”

37:54  He says: “Do you know (where he is)?”

37:55  Then he looks and sees him in the middle of hellfire.

37:56  He says: “By God, you almost ruined me,

37:57  and if it was not for my Lord’s favor, I would have certainly been of those who are brought (to hell).

37:58  Are we not to die (again)

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

37:60  Indeed, this is the great victory.”

37:61  For (something) like this, the doers should do (good deeds).

37:62  Is this a better reception or the Zaqqum tree?

37:63  Indeed, We made it a suffering for the wrongdoers.

37:64  It is a tree that comes out from the bottom of hellfire,

37:65  its bud is like devils’ heads.

37:66  And they certainly eat from it and fill their stomachs from it.

37:67  Then indeed they will have a mixture of boiling water (to drink) over it.

37:68  Then their return will be to the hellfire.

37:69  Indeed, they found their fathers misguided,

37:70  and yet they rushed (to follow) in their footsteps.

37:71  And most of the earlier ones have certainly lost (the right path) before them.

37:72  And We have certainly sent warners among them.

37:73  So, see what the end of those who were warned was,

37:74  except God's devoted servants.

37:75  And Noah had certainly called Us, and We are certainly the best of responders.

37:76  And We saved him and his family from the great distress.

37:77  And We made his descendants the survivors.

37:78  And We left for him (a good name) among the later ones.

37:79  Peace (and well-being) upon Noah among humankind.

37:80  That is how We reward the good doers.

37:81  Indeed, he was among Our believing servants.

37:82  So, We drowned the others.

37:83  And indeed among his followers was Abraham.

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

37:85  When he said to his father and his people: “What do you serve?

37:86  Do you want false gods besides God?

37:87  So, what do you think about the Lord of humankind?”

37:88  Then he looked a glance at the stars.

37:89  Then he said: “Indeed I am sick (of your practices).”

37:90  So, they turned back from him going away.

37:91  Then he turned to their gods and said: “Will you not eat?

37:92  What is with you, why do you not speak?”

37:93  Then he turned on them, striking (them) with the right hand.

37:94  So, they (his people) came to him in a hurry.

37:95  He said: “Do you serve what you carve,

37:96  while God created you and what you do (and make)?”

37:97  They said: “Build a structure (a furnace) for him and throw him into the great fire.”

37:98  They wanted to plot against him, but We made them the lower ones (failing in their plot).

37:99  And he said: “Indeed I will go to my Lord, He is going to guide me,

37:100  my Lord, give me (a son) from the righteous.”

37:101  So, We gave him the good news of a patient boy.

37:102  So, when he reached the (age of) working with him, he said: “My son, indeed I saw in the dream that I sacrifice you, so see what you think?” He said: “My father, do what you are ordered, God willing you are going to find me of the patient ones.”

37:103  So, when they both submitted and he (Abraham) put him down on the forehead,

37:104  We called him: “Abraham,

37:105  you have fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, that is how We reward the good doers.

37:106  Indeed, this was the obvious test,

37:107  and We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.

37:108  And We left for him (a good name) among the later ones.

37:109  Peace (and well-being) on Abraham.

37:110  That is how We reward the good doers.

37:111  Indeed, he was among Our believing servants.

37:112  And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet from the righteous.

37:113  And We blessed him and Isaac, and from their descendants, (some) are good doers and (some) are obviously wrongdoers to themselves.

37:114  And We have certainly favored upon Moses and Aaron.

37:115  And We saved them both and their people from the great distress.

37:116  And We helped them, so they became the winners.

37:117  And We gave them the clear (and clarifying) book,

37:118  and We guided them to the straight path.

37:119  And We left both of them (a good name) among the later ones.

37:120  Peace (and well-being) on Moses and Aaron.

37:121  Indeed, that is how We reward the good doers.

37:122  Indeed, they were both among Our believing servants.

37:123  And indeed Elias (Elijah) was one of the messengers.

37:124  When he said to his people: “Will you not be cautious (of God)?

37:125  Do you call on Baal and you abandon the best of creators?

37:126  God is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.”

37:127  So, they denied him, therefore they will be brought (to the punishment),

37:128  except God's devoted servants.

37:129  And We left for him (a good name) among the later ones.

37:130  Peace (and well-being) on El Yasin (Elias).

37:131  Indeed, that is how We reward the good doers.

37:132  Indeed, he was among Our believing servants.

37:133  And indeed, Lot was one of the messengers.

37:134  When We saved him and his family altogether.

37:135  Except an old woman (his wife who was) among those staying behind.

37:136  Then We destroyed the others.

37:137  And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

37:138  and by the night. Do you not understand?

37:139  And indeed, Jonah was one of the messengers.

37:140  When he ran away to the loaded ship.

37:141  Then he drew lots and he was of those thrown off (the ship).

37:142  So, the whale swallowed him, and he was to blame.

37:143  And if he was not among those who glorify (God),

37:144  he would have remained in its belly until the day of rising.

37:145  So, We threw him on the bare shore while he was sick.

37:146  And We made a plant of squash grow over him.

37:147  And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more (people).

37:148  And they believed, so We let them enjoy for a while.

37:149  So, ask their opinion: “Are daughters for your Lord, and sons for them?

37:150  Or did We create the angels as females, and they were witnesses?”

37:151  No doubt, indeed, as part of their lies they will say:

37:152  “God has fathered (children).” And they are certainly liars.

37:153  Did He choose daughters over sons?

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

37:155  Do you not take notice?

37:156  Or do you have a clear reason?

37:157  Then bring your book (document), if you are truthful.

37:158  And they have made a relationship between Him and the Jinn, while the Jinn certainly knew that they shall be brought (to judgment),

37:159  God is flawless about what they describe,

37:160  except God's devoted servants (who are saved from the punishment).

37:161  So indeed, you and what you serve,

37:162  you will not be able to mislead (any of God's devoted servants) against Him,

37:163  except someone who enters (and burns in) the hellfire.

37:164  And (the angels say:) “No one is from us unless he has a known position,

37:165  and we are certainly those lined up in rows,

37:166  and we are certainly those who glorify (God).”

37:167  And they (the disbelievers) certainly used to say:

37:168  “Indeed, if we had a reminder (or a scripture) from the earlier ones with us,

37:169  we would have certainly been of God's devoted servants.”

37:170  And they disbelieved in it (Quran), so they will know.

37:171  And Our word has already gone out to Our servants, the messengers,

37:172  that they are certainly helped,

37:173  and indeed, Our troops are the winners.

37:174  So, turn away from them for a while,

37:175  and look at them, for they will see.

37:176  Do they want Our punishment in a hurry?

37:177  When it comes down to their courtyard, it is a bad morning for those who were warned.

37:178  And turn away from them for a while,

37:179  and look, for they will see.

37:180  Your Lord, the Lord of power (and honor), is flawless about what they describe.

37:181  And peace (and well-being) upon the messengers.

37:182  And all praise belongs to God, the Lord of humankind.
