In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"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 God 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 worshiping 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 Book 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.
