  In The Name Of Allah The Entirely Merciful The Especially Merciful

37:1 By those [angels] lined up in rows

37:2 And those who drive [the clouds]

37:3 And those who recite the message,

37:4 Indeed, your God is One,

37:5 Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

37:6 Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

37:7 And as protection against every rebellious devil

37:8 [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

37:9 Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

37:10 Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

37:11 Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

37:12 But you wonder, while they mock,

37:13 And when they are reminded, they remember not.

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

37:15 And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

37:16 When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

37:17 And our forefathers [as well]?"

37:18 Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

37:19 It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

37:20 They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

37:21 [They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

37:22 [The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

37:23 Other than Allah , and guide them to the path of Hellfire

37:24 And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

37:25 [They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"

37:26 But they, that Day, are in surrender.

37:27 And they will approach one another blaming each other.

37:28 They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."

37:29 The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

37:30 And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.

37:31 So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

37:32 And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."

37:33 So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.

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

37:35 Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah ," were arrogant

37:36 And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"

37:37 Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.

37:38 Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,

37:39 And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do –

37:40 But not the chosen servants of Allah .

37:41 Those will have a provision determined –

37:42 Fruits; and they will be honored

37:43 In gardens of pleasure

37:44 On thrones facing one another.

37:45 There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring,

37:46 White and delicious to the drinkers;

37:47 No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated.

37:48 And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes,

37:49 As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.

37:50 And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

37:51 A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

37:52 Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

37:53 That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

37:54 He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"

37:55 And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.

37:56 He will say, "By Allah , you almost ruined me.

37:57 If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].

37:58 Then, are we not to die

37:59 Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

37:60 Indeed, this is the great attainment.

37:61 For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.

37:62 Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?

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

37:64 Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,

37:65 Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

37:66 And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.

37:67 Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

37:68 Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.

37:69 Indeed they found their fathers astray.

37:70 So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

37:71 And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

37:72 And We had already sent among them warners.

37:73 Then look how was the end of those who were warned –

37:74 But not the chosen servants of Allah .

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

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

37:77 And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

37:78 And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

37:79 "Peace upon Noah among the worlds."

37:80 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

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

37:82 Then We drowned the disbelievers.

37:83 And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

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

37:85 [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?

37:86 Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?

37:87 Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

37:88 And he cast a look at the stars

37:89 And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."

37:90 So they turned away from him, departing.

37:91 Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

37:92 What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

37:93 And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

37:94 Then the people came toward him, hastening.

37:95 He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

37:96 While Allah created you and that which you do?"

37:97 They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

37:98 And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

37:99 And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

37:100 My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

37:101 So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

37:102 And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."

37:103 And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,

37:104 We called to him, "O Abraham,

37:105 You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

37:106 Indeed, this was the clear trial.

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

37:108 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

37:109 "Peace upon Abraham."

37:110 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

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

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

37:113 And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.

37:114 And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

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

37:116 And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

37:117 And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

37:118 And We guided them on the straight path.

37:119 And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

37:120 "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

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

37:122 Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

37:123 And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

37:124 When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah ?

37:125 Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators –

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

37:127 And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

37:128 Except the chosen servants of Allah .

37:129 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

37:130 "Peace upon Elias."

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

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

37:133 And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

37:134 [So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

37:135 Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].

37:136 Then We destroyed the others.

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

37:138 And at night. Then will you not use reason?

37:139 And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

37:140 [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

37:141 And he drew lots and was among the losers.

37:142 Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

37:143 And had he not been of those who exalt Allah ,

37:144 He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

37:145 But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

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

37:147 And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

37:148 And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

37:149 So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?

37:150 Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

37:151 Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

37:152 " Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

37:153 Has He chosen daughters over sons?

37:154 What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

37:155 Then will you not be reminded?

37:156 Or do you have a clear authority?

37:157 Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

37:158 And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment].

37:159 Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

37:160 Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].

37:161 So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

37:162 You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

37:163 Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.

37:164 [The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.

37:165 And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

37:166 And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah ."

37:167 And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

37:168 "If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

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

37:170 But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

37:171 And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

37:172 [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

37:173 And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.

37:174 So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.

37:175 And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

37:176 Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

37:177 But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

37:178 And leave them for a time.

37:179 And see, for they are going to see.

37:180 Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

37:181 And peace upon the messengers.

37:182 And praise to Allah , Lord of the worlds.
