37-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who set the ranks in battle order

37-2 : And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

37-3 : And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

37-4 : Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

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

37-6 : Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

37-7 : With security from every froward devil.

37-8 : They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

37-9 : Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

37-10 : Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

37-11 : Then ask them (O muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created ? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.

37-12 : Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

37-13 : And heed not when they are reminded,

37-14 : And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

37-15 : And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

37-16 : When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again) ?

37-17 : And our forefathers ?

37-18 : Say (O muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

37-19 : There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

37-20 : And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.

37-21 : This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.

37-22 : (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship

37-23 : Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;

37-24 : And stop them, for they must be questioned.

37-25 : What aileth you that ye help not one another ?

37-26 : Nay, but this day they make full submission.

37-27 : And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

37-28 : They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).

37-29 : They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.

37-30 : We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.

37-31 : Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).

37-32 : Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

37-33 : Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

37-34 : Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

37-35 : For when it was said unto them, There is no God save Allah, they were scornful

37-36 : And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet ?

37-37 : Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).

37-38 : Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -

37-39 : Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

37-40 : Save single - minded slaves of Allah;

37-41 : For them there is a known provision,

37-42 : Fruits. And they will be honoured

37-43 : In the Gardens of delight,

37-44 : On couches facing one another;

37-45 : A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

37-46 : White, delicious to the drinkers,

37-47 : Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

37-48 : And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,

37-49 : (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

37-50 : And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

37-51 : A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade

37-52 : Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words) ?

37-53 : Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book ?

37-54 : He saith: Will ye look ?

37-55 : Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

37-56 : He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,

37-57 : And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).

37-58 : Are we then not to die

37-59 : Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished ?

37-60 : Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

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

37-62 : Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum ?

37-63 : Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong - doers.

37-64 : Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.

37-65 : Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

37-66 : And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.

37-67 : And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water

37-68 : And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

37-69 : They indeed found their fathers astray,

37-70 : But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

37-71 : And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,

37-72 : And verily We sent among them warners.

37-73 : Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

37-74 : Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

37-75 : And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer

37-76 : And We saved him and his household from the great distress,

37-77 : And made his seed the survivors,

37-78 : And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

37-79 : Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

37-80 : Lo! thus do We reward the good.

37-81 : Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

37-82 : Then We did drown the others.

37-83 : And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

37-84 : When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

37-85 : When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ?

37-86 : Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ?

37-87 : What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ?

37-88 : And he glanced a glance at the stars

37-89 : Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

37-90 : And they turned their backs and went away from him.

37-91 : Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ?

37-92 : What aileth you that ye speak not ?

37-93 : Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

37-94 : And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

37-95 : He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

37-96 : When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?

37-97 : They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red - hotfire.

37-98 : And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

37-99 : And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.

37-100 : My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

37-101 : So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

37-102 : And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.

37-103 : Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,

37-104 : We called unto him: O Abraham!

37-105 : Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.

37-106 : Lo! that verily was a clear test.

37-107 : Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

37-108 : And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

37-109 : Peace be unto Abraham!

37-110 : Thus do We reward the good.

37-111 : Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

37-112 : And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

37-113 : And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

37-114 : And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

37-115 : And 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 showed them the right path.

37-119 : And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):

37-120 : Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

37-121 : Lo! thus do We reward the good.

37-122 : Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

37-123 : And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

37-124 : When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

37-125 : Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,

37-126 : Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ?

37-127 : But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)

37-128 : Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

37-129 : And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

37-130 : Peace be unto Elias!

37-131 : Lo! thus do We reward the good.

37-132 : Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.

37-133 : And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).

37-134 : When We saved him and his household, every one,

37-135 : Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;

37-136 : Then We destroyed the others.

37-137 : And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning

37-138 : And at night - time; have ye then no sense ?

37-139 : And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)

37-140 : When he fled unto the laden ship,

37-141 : And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

37-142 : And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

37-143 : And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

37-144 : He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

37-145 : Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

37-146 : And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

37-147 : And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more

37-148 : And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

37-149 : Now ask them (O muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons ?

37-150 : Or created We the angels females while they were present ?

37-151 : Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

37-152 : Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

37-153 : (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.

37-154 : What aileth you ? How judge ye ?

37-155 : Will ye not then reflect ?

37-156 : Or have ye a clear warrant ?

37-157 : Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

37-158 : And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).

37-159 : Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),

37-160 : Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

37-161 : Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,

37-162 : Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

37-163 : Save him who is to burn in hell.

37-164 : There is not one of us but hath his known position.

37-165 : Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,

37-166 : Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise

37-167 : And indeed they used to say:

37-168 : If we had but a reminder from the men of old

37-169 : We would be single - minded slaves of Allah.

37-170 : Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.

37-171 : And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

37-172 : That they verily would be helped,

37-173 : And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

37-174 : So withdraw from them (O muhammad) awhile,

37-175 : And watch, for they will (soon) see.

37-176 : Would they hasten on Our doom ?

37-177 : But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.

37-178 : Withdraw from them awhile

37-179 : And watch, for they will (soon) see.

37-180 : Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)

37-181 : And peace be unto those sent (to warn).

37-182 : And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
