37-1 : I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks

37-2 : Then those who drive away with reproof,

37-3 : Then those who recite, being mindful,

37-4 : Most surely your Allah is One:

37-5 : The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.

37-6 : Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,

37-7 : And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.

37-8 : They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,

37-9 : Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,

37-10 : Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.

37-11 : Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.

37-12 : Nay! you wonder while they mock,

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

37-14 : And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,

37-15 : And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:

37-16 : What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,

37-17 : Or our fathers of yore?

37-18 : Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.

37-19 : So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.

37-20 : And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.

37-21 : This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.

37-22 : Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship

37-23 : Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.

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

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

37-26 : Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.

37-27 : And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.

37-28 : They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.

37-29 : They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;

37-30 : And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;

37-31 : So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;

37-32 : So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.

37-33 : So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.

37-34 : Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.

37-35 : Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;

37-36 : And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?

37-37 : Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.

37-38 : Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.

37-39 : And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.

37-40 : Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

37-41 : For them is a known sustenance,

37-42 : Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,

37-43 : In gardens of pleasure,

37-44 : On thrones, facing each other.

37-45 : A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,

37-46 : White, delicious to those who drink.

37-47 : There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.

37-48 : And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;

37-49 : As if they were eggs carefully protected.

37-50 : Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.

37-51 : A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,

37-52 : Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?

37-53 : What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?

37-54 : He shall say: Will you look on?

37-55 : Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.

37-56 : He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;

37-57 : And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.

37-58 : Is it then that we are not going to die,

37-59 : Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?

37-60 : Most surely this is the mighty achievement.

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

37-62 : Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?

37-63 : Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.

37-64 : Surely it is a tree that - grows in the bottom of the hell;

37-65 : Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.

37-66 : Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.

37-67 : Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.

37-68 : Then most surely their return shall be to hell.

37-69 : Surely they found their fathers going astray,

37-70 : So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.

37-71 : And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,

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

37-73 : Then see how was the end of those warned,

37-74 : Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

37-75 : And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.

37-76 : And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.

37-77 : And We made his offspring the survivors.

37-78 : And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.

37-79 : Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.

37-80 : Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.

37-81 : Surely he was of Our believing servants.

37-82 : Then We drowned the others

37-83 : And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.

37-84 : When he came to his Lord with a free heart,

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

37-86 : A lie - - gods besides Allah - - do you desire?

37-87 : What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?

37-88 : Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,

37-89 : Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).

37-90 : So they went away from him, turning back.

37-91 : Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?

37-92 : What is the matter with you that you do not speak?

37-93 : Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.

37-94 : So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.

37-95 : Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?

37-96 : And Allah has created you and what you make.

37-97 : They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.

37-98 : And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.

37-99 : And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.

37-100 : My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.

37-101 : So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.

37-102 : And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.

37-103 : So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,

37-104 : And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!

37-105 : You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:

37-106 : Most surely this is a manifest trial.

37-107 : And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.

37-108 : And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.

37-109 : Peace be on Ibrahim.

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

37-111 : Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

37-112 : And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.

37-113 : And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.

37-114 : And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.

37-115 : And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.

37-116 : And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.

37-117 : And We gave them both the book40 that made (things) clear.

37-118 : And We guided them both on the right way.

37-119 : And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.

37-120 : Peace be on Musa and Haroun.

37-121 : Even thus do We reward the doers of good.

37-122 : Surely they were both of Our believing servants.

37-123 : And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.

37-124 : When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?

37-125 : What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,

37-126 : Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?

37-127 : But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.

37-128 : But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

37-129 : And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.

37-130 : Peace be on Ilyas.

37-131 : Even thus do We reward the doers of good.

37-132 : Surely he was one of Our believing servants.

37-133 : And Lut was most surely of the apostles.

37-134 : When We delivered him and his followers, all - -

37-135 : Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.

37-136 : Then We destroyed the others.

37-137 : And most surely you pass by them in the morning,

37-138 : And at night; do you not then understand?

37-139 : And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.

37-140 : When he ran away to a ship completely laden,

37-141 : So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.

37-142 : So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself

37-143 : But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),

37-144 : He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.

37-145 : Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.

37-146 : And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.

37-147 : And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.

37-148 : And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.

37-149 : Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.

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

37-151 : Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:

37-152 : Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.

37-153 : Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?

37-154 : What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?

37-155 : Will you not then mind?

37-156 : Or have you a clear authority?

37-157 : Then bring your book, if you are truthful.

37-158 : And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

37-159 : Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;

37-160 : But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

37-161 : So surely you and what you worship,

37-162 : Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,

37-163 : Save him who will go to hell.

37-164 : And there is none of us but has an assigned place,

37-165 : And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,

37-166 : And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).

37-167 : And surely they used to say:

37-168 : Had we a reminder from those of yore,

37-169 : We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.

37-170 : But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.

37-171 : And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:

37-172 : Most surely they shall be the assisted ones

37-173 : And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.

37-174 : Therefore turn away from them till a time,

37-175 : And (then) see them, so they too shall see.

37-176 : What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?

37-177 : But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.

37-178 : And turn away from them till a time

37-179 : And (then) see, for they too shall see.

37-180 : Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.

37-181 : And peace be on the apostles.

37-182 : And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
