[edit] Qur'an 37:1

By those who set the ranks in battle order

[edit] Qur'an 37:1 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:2

And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

[edit] Qur'an 37:2 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:3

And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

[edit] Qur'an 37:3 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:4

Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

[edit] Qur'an 37:4 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:5

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:5 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:6

Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

[edit] Qur'an 37:6 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:7

With security from every froward devil.

[edit] Qur'an 37:7 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:8

They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

[edit] Qur'an 37:8 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:9

Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

[edit] Qur'an 37:9 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:10

Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

[edit] Qur'an 37:10 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 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.

[edit] Qur'an 37:11 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:12

Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock

[edit] Qur'an 37:12 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:13

And heed not when they are reminded,

[edit] Qur'an 37:13 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:14

And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.

[edit] Qur'an 37:14 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:15

And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;

[edit] Qur'an 37:15 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:16

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:16 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:17

And our forefathers?

[edit] Qur'an 37:17 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:18

Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.

[edit] Qur'an 37:18 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:19

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,

[edit] Qur'an 37:19 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:20

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:20 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:21

This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.

[edit] Qur'an 37:21 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:22

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:22 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:23

Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;

[edit] Qur'an 37:23 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:24

And stop them, for they must be questioned.

[edit] Qur'an 37:24 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:25

What aileth you that ye help not one another?

[edit] Qur'an 37:25 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:26

Nay, but this day they make full submission.

[edit] Qur'an 37:26 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:27

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

[edit] Qur'an 37:27 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:28

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:28 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:29

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:29 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:30

We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.

[edit] Qur'an 37:30 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:31

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:31 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:32

Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.

[edit] Qur'an 37:32 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:33

Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.

[edit] Qur'an 37:33 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:34

Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.

[edit] Qur'an 37:34 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:35

For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful

[edit] Qur'an 37:35 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:36

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:36 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:37

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:37 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:38

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:38 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:39

Ye are requited naught save what ye did -

[edit] Qur'an 37:39 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:40

Save single-minded slaves of Allah;

[edit] Qur'an 37:40 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:41

For them there is a known provision,

[edit] Qur'an 37:41 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:42

Fruits. And they will be honoured

[edit] Qur'an 37:42 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:43

In the Gardens of delight,

[edit] Qur'an 37:43 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:44

On couches facing one another;

[edit] Qur'an 37:44 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:45

A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,

[edit] Qur'an 37:45 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:46

White, delicious to the drinkers,

[edit] Qur'an 37:46 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:47

Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.

[edit] Qur'an 37:47 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:48

And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,

[edit] Qur'an 37:48 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:49

(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

[edit] Qur'an 37:49 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:50

And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.

[edit] Qur'an 37:50 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:51

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:51 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:52

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:52 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:53

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:53 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:54

He saith: Will ye look?

[edit] Qur'an 37:54 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:55

Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.

[edit] Qur'an 37:55 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:56

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:56 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:57

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:57 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:58

Are we then not to die

[edit] Qur'an 37:58 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:59

Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?

[edit] Qur'an 37:59 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:60

Lo! this is the supreme triumph.

[edit] Qur'an 37:60 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:61

For the like of this, then, let the workers work.

[edit] Qur'an 37:61 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:62

Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?

[edit] Qur'an 37:62 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:63

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:63 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:64

Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.

[edit] Qur'an 37:64 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:65

Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

[edit] Qur'an 37:65 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:66

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:66 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:67

And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water

[edit] Qur'an 37:67 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:68

And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.

[edit] Qur'an 37:68 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:69

They indeed found their fathers astray,

[edit] Qur'an 37:69 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:70

But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

[edit] Qur'an 37:70 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:71

And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,

[edit] Qur'an 37:71 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:72

And verily We sent among them warners.

[edit] Qur'an 37:72 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:73

Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,

[edit] Qur'an 37:73 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:74

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[edit] Qur'an 37:74 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:75

And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer

[edit] Qur'an 37:75 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:76

And We saved him and his household from the great distress,

[edit] Qur'an 37:76 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:77

And made his seed the survivors,

[edit] Qur'an 37:77 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:78

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:78 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:79

Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!

[edit] Qur'an 37:79 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:80

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[edit] Qur'an 37:80 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:81

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

[edit] Qur'an 37:81 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:82

Then We did drown the others.

[edit] Qur'an 37:82 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:83

And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham

[edit] Qur'an 37:83 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:84

When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;

[edit] Qur'an 37:84 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:85

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:85 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:86

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:86 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:87

What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?

[edit] Qur'an 37:87 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:88

And he glanced a glance at the stars

[edit] Qur'an 37:88 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:89

Then said: Lo! I feel sick!

[edit] Qur'an 37:89 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:90

And they turned their backs and went away from him.

[edit] Qur'an 37:90 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:91

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:91 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:92

What aileth you that ye speak not?

[edit] Qur'an 37:92 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:93

Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.

[edit] Qur'an 37:93 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:94

And (his people) came toward him, hastening.

[edit] Qur'an 37:94 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:95

He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve

[edit] Qur'an 37:95 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:96

When Allah hath created you and what ye make?

[edit] Qur'an 37:96 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:97

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:97 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:98

And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.

[edit] Qur'an 37:98 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:99

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:99 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:100

My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.

[edit] Qur'an 37:100 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:101

So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

[edit] Qur'an 37:101 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 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.

[edit] Qur'an 37:102 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:103

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:103 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:104

We called unto him: O Abraham!

[edit] Qur'an 37:104 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:105

Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[edit] Qur'an 37:105 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:106

Lo! that verily was a clear test.

[edit] Qur'an 37:106 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:107

Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

[edit] Qur'an 37:107 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:108

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:108 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:109

Peace be unto Abraham!

[edit] Qur'an 37:109 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:110

Thus do We reward the good.

[edit] Qur'an 37:110 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:111

Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

[edit] Qur'an 37:111 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:112

And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

[edit] Qur'an 37:112 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:113

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:113 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:114

And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

[edit] Qur'an 37:114 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:115

And saved them and their people from the great distress,

[edit] Qur'an 37:115 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:116

And helped them so that they became the victors.

[edit] Qur'an 37:116 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:117

And We gave them the clear Scripture

[edit] Qur'an 37:117 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:118

And showed them the right path.

[edit] Qur'an 37:118 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:119

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:119 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:120

Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!

[edit] Qur'an 37:120 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:121

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[edit] Qur'an 37:121 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:122

Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.

[edit] Qur'an 37:122 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:123

And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

[edit] Qur'an 37:123 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:124

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:124 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:125

Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,

[edit] Qur'an 37:125 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:126

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?

[edit] Qur'an 37:126 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:127

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:127 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:128

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[edit] Qur'an 37:128 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:129

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:129 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:130

Peace be unto Elias!

[edit] Qur'an 37:130 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:131

Lo! thus do We reward the good.

[edit] Qur'an 37:131 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:132

Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.

[edit] Qur'an 37:132 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:133

And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).

[edit] Qur'an 37:133 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:134

When We saved him and his household, every one,

[edit] Qur'an 37:134 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:135

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;

[edit] Qur'an 37:135 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:136

Then We destroyed the others.

[edit] Qur'an 37:136 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:137

And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning

[edit] Qur'an 37:137 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:138

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:138 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:139

And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)

[edit] Qur'an 37:139 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:140

When he fled unto the laden ship,

[edit] Qur'an 37:140 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:141

And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

[edit] Qur'an 37:141 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:142

And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

[edit] Qur'an 37:142 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:143

And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

[edit] Qur'an 37:143 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:144

He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

[edit] Qur'an 37:144 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:145

Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

[edit] Qur'an 37:145 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:146

And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

[edit] Qur'an 37:146 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:147

And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more

[edit] Qur'an 37:147 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:148

And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

[edit] Qur'an 37:148 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:149

Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?

[edit] Qur'an 37:149 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:150

Or created We the angels females while they were present?

[edit] Qur'an 37:150 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:151

Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:

[edit] Qur'an 37:151 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:152

Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.

[edit] Qur'an 37:152 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:153

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:153 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:154

What aileth you? How judge ye?

[edit] Qur'an 37:154 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:155

Will ye not then reflect?

[edit] Qur'an 37:155 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:156

Or have ye a clear warrant?

[edit] Qur'an 37:156 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:157

Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

[edit] Qur'an 37:157 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:158

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:158 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:159

Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),

[edit] Qur'an 37:159 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:160

Save single-minded slaves of Allah.

[edit] Qur'an 37:160 Notes

Well, that's explicit.

[edit] Qur'an 37:161

Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,

[edit] Qur'an 37:161 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:162

Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

[edit] Qur'an 37:162 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:163

Save him who is to burn in hell.

[edit] Qur'an 37:163 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:164

There is not one of us but hath his known position.

[edit] Qur'an 37:164 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:165

Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,

[edit] Qur'an 37:165 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:166

Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise

[edit] Qur'an 37:166 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:167

And indeed they used to say:

[edit] Qur'an 37:167 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:168

If we had but a reminder from the men of old

[edit] Qur'an 37:168 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:169

We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.

[edit] Qur'an 37:169 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:170

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:170 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:171

And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

[edit] Qur'an 37:171 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:172

That they verily would be helped,

[edit] Qur'an 37:172 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:173

And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

[edit] Qur'an 37:173 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:174

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,

[edit] Qur'an 37:174 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:175

And watch, for they will (soon) see.

[edit] Qur'an 37:175 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:176

Would they hasten on Our doom?

[edit] Qur'an 37:176 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:177

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:177 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:178

Withdraw from them awhile

[edit] Qur'an 37:178 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:179

And watch, for they will (soon) see.

[edit] Qur'an 37:179 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:180

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

[edit] Qur'an 37:180 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:181

And peace be unto those sent (to warn).

[edit] Qur'an 37:181 Notes

[edit] Qur'an 37:182

And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
