37:1  By those ranged in ranks.

37:2  By those who drive the clouds in a good way.

37:3  By those who bring the Dhikr.

37:4  Verily, your God is indeed One;

37:5  Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every point of the sun's risings.

37:6  Verily, We have adorned the near heaven with the stars.

37:7  And to guard against every rebellious Shaytan.

37:8  They cannot listen to the higher group for they are pelted from every side.

37:9  Outcast, and theirs is a constant torment.

37:10  Except such as snatch away something by stealing, and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.

37:11  Then ask them: "Are they harder to create, or those whom We have created" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.

37:12  Nay, you wondered while they mock.

37:13  And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.

37:14  And when they see an Ayah (a sign) from Allah, they mock at it.

37:15  And they say: "This is nothing but evident magic!"

37:16  "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we verily be resurrected"

37:17  "And also our fathers of old"

37:18  Say: "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

37:19  It will be a single Zajrah, and behold, they will be staring!

37:20  They will say: "Woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense!"

37:21  (It will be said:) "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

37:22  (It will be said to the angels:) Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions and what they used to worship,

37:23  Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell);

37:24  But stop them, verily, they are to be questioned.

37:25  "What is the matter with you Why do you not help one another"

37:26  Nay, but that Day they shall surrender.

37:27  And they will turn to one another and question one another.

37:28  They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side."

37:29  They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers."

37:30  "And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were a transgressing people."

37:31  "So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly taste (the torment)."

37:32  "So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray."

37:33  Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.

37:34  Certainly, that is how We deal with the criminals.

37:35  Truly, when it was said to them: "La ilaha illallah," they puffed themselves up with pride.

37:36  And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our gods for the sake of a mad poet"

37:37  Nay! he has come with the truth and he confirms the Messengers.

37:38  Verily, you are going to taste the painful torment;

37:39  And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do.

37:40  Save the chosen servants of Allah.

37:41  For them there will be a known provision,

37:42  Fruits; and they shall be honored,

37:43  In the Gardens of Delight,

37:44  Facing one another on thrones.

37:45  Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine

37:46  White, delicious to the drinkers.

37:47  Neither will they have Ghawl from that nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.

37:48  And beside them will be Qasirat-At-Tarf with (wide and beautiful) eyes.

37:49  as if they were Bayd Maknun.

37:50  Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.

37:51  A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),"

37:52  "Who used to say: `Are you among those who believe.

37:53  (That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be indebted (Madinun)"'

37:54  (The speaker) said: "Will you look down"

37:55  So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

37:56  He said: "By Allah! You have nearly ruined me."

37:57  "Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

37:58  "Are we then not to die (any more)"

37:59  "Except our first death, and we shall not be punished"

37:60  Truly, this is the supreme success!

37:61  For the like of this let the workers work.

37:62  Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum

37:63  Truly, We have made it (as) a trial for the wrongdoers.

37:64  Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

37:65  The shoots of its fruit stalks are like the heads of Shayatin.

37:66  Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

37:67  Then on the top of that they will be given boiling Hamim.

37:68  Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

37:69  Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;

37:70  So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!

37:71  And indeed most of the earlier ones went astray before them;

37:72  And indeed We sent among them warners;

37:73  Then see what was the end of those who were warned.

37:74  Except the chosen servants of Allah.

37:75  And indeed Nuh invoked Us, and We are the best of those who answer.

37:76  And We rescued him and his family from the great distress,

37:77  And, his progeny, them We made the survivors.

37:78  And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations

37:79  "Salam (peace!) be upon Nuh among the all creatures!"

37:80  Verily, thus We reward the gooddoers.

37:81  Verily, he [Nuh] was one of Our believing servants.

37:82  Then We drowned the others.

37:83  And verily, among those who followed his way was Ibrahim.

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

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

37:86  "Is it a falsehood -- gods other than Allah -- that you desire"

37:87  "Then what think you about the Lord of the all that exists"

37:88  Then he cast a glance at the stars,

37:89  And he said: "Verily, I am sick."

37:90  So they turned away from him and departed.

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

37:92  "What is the matter with you that you speak not"

37:93  Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.

37:94  Then they came hastily towards him.

37:95  He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve"

37:96  "While Allah has created you and what you make!"

37:97  They said: "Build for him a building and throw him into the blazing fire!"

37:98  So, they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.

37:99  And he said: "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"

37:100  "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."

37:101  So, We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.

37:102  And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you. So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, if Allah wills, you shall find me of the patient."

37:103  Then, when they had both submitted themselves, and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead;

37:104  We called out to him: "O Ibrahim!"

37:105  "You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily, thus do We reward the doers of good.

37:106  Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.

37:107  And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice;

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

37:109  "Salam (peace!) be upon Ibrahim!"

37:110  Thus indeed do We reward the doers of good.

37:111  Verily, he was one of Our believing servants.

37:112  And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaq -- a Prophet from the righteous.

37:113  We blessed him and Ishaq. And of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

37:114  And, indeed We gave Our grace to Musa and Harun.

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

37:116  And helped them, so that they became the victors;

37:117  And We gave them the clear Scripture;

37:118  And guided them to the right path.

37:119  And We left for them among the later generations.

37:120  "Salam (peace!) be upon Musa and Harun!"

37:121  Verily, thus do We reward the doers of good.

37:122  Verily, they were two of Our believing servants.

37:123  And verily, Ilyas was one of the Messengers.

37:124  When he said to his people: "Will you not have Taqwa"

37:125  "Will you call upon `Ba`l and forsake the Best of creators,

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

37:127  But they denied him, so they will certainly be brought forth,

37:128  Save the chosen servants of Allah.

37:129  And We left for him among the later generations.

37:130  "Salam (peace!) be upon Ilyasin!"

37:131  Verily, thus do We reward the doers of good.

37:132  Verily, he was one of Our believing servants.

37:133  And verily, Lut was one of the Messengers.

37:134  When We saved him and his family, all,

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

37:136  Then We destroyed the rest.

37:137  Verily, you pass by them in the morning.

37:138  And at night; will you not then reflect

37:139  And verily, Yunus was one of the Messengers.

37:140  When he ran to the laden ship:

37:141  Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.

37:142  Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.

37:143  Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,

37:144  He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

37:145  But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

37:146  And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

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

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

37:149  Now ask them: "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them"

37:150  Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses

37:151  Verily, it is of their falsehood that they say:

37:152  "Allah has begotten." And, verily, they are liars!

37:153  Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons

37:154  What is the matter with you How do you decide

37:155  Will you not then remember

37:156  Or is there for you a plain authority

37:157  Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

37:158  And they have invented a kinship between Him and the Jinn, but the Jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him).

37:159  Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

37:160  Except the servants of Allah, whom He chooses.

37:161  So, verily you and those whom you worship

37:162  Cannot lead astray,

37:163  Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!

37:164  And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place;

37:165  And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows;

37:166  And verily, we (angels) indeed are those who glorify.

37:167  And indeed they used to say:

37:168  "If we had a reminder as had the men of old,"

37:169  "We would have indeed been the chosen servants of Allah!"

37:170  But (now) they disbelieve therein, so they will come to know!

37:171  And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our servants, the Messengers,

37:172  That they verily would be made triumphant,

37:173  And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.

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

37:175  And watch them and they shall see!

37:176  Do they seek to hasten on Our torment

37:177  Then, when it descends in their courtyard, evil will be the morning for those who had warned!

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

37:179  And watch and they shall see!

37:180  Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Al-`Izzah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

37:181  And Salam (peace!) be on the Messengers!

37:182  And all the praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of all that exists.
