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.
