37. As-Saaffaat

وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّا ۝١

وَالصّٰٓفّٰتِ صَفًّا ۙ‏ ۝١

37:1 (I swear) by those who stand in rows,

فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا ۝٢

فَالزّٰجِرٰتِ زَجۡرًا ۙ‏ ۝٢

37:2 then by those who prevent firmly,

فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ۝٣

فَالتّٰلِيٰتِ ذِكۡرًا ۙ‏ ۝٣

37:3 then by those who recite the dhikr,

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ ۝٤

اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمۡ لَوَاحِدٌ ؕ‏ ۝٤

37:4 surely your God is but One,

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ۝٥

رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الۡمَشَارِقِ ؕ‏ ۝٥

37:5 the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the points of sunrise.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ۝٦

اِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنۡيَا بِزِيۡنَةِ اۨلۡكَوَاكِبِۙ‏ ۝٦

37:6 Verily, We have decorated the nearest sky with an adornment, the stars,

وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ ۝٧

وَحِفۡظًا مِّنۡ كُلِّ شَيۡطٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ​ۚ‏ ۝٧

37:7 and (have made them) a security against every rebellious devil.

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ ۝٨

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡمَلَاِ الۡاَعۡلٰى وَيُقۡذَفُوۡنَ مِنۡ كُلِّ جَانِبٍۖ ‏ ۝٨

37:8 They cannot listen to the Upper Realm and are hit from every side

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ ۝٩

دُحُوۡرًا  وَّلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ وَّاصِبٌ  ۙ‏ ۝٩

37:9 to be driven off, and for them there is a lasting punishment;

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ۝١٠

اِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ الۡخَطۡفَةَ فَاَتۡبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ‏ ۝١٠

37:10 however, if one snatches a little bit, he is pursued by a bright flame.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ ۝١١

فَاسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ اَهُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمۡ مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَاؕ اِنَّا خَلَقۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ طِيۡنٍ لَّازِبٍ‏ ۝١١

37:11 Now ask them, “Are they stronger in the formation of their bodies, or those (other beings) that We have created?” Certainly, We did create them from sticky clay.

بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ۝١٢

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٢

37:12 But you wonder (at their denial), and they mock (at the idea of an Hereafter).

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ۝١٣

وَاِذَا ذُكِّرُوۡا لَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٣

37:13 And when any advice is given to them, they pay no heed to it.

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ۝١٤

وَاِذَا رَاَوۡا اٰيَةً يَّسۡتَسۡخِرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٤

37:14 And when they see a sign, they make fun of it,

وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥

وَقَالُوۡۤا اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ​ ۖ​ۚ‏ ۝١٥

37:15 and say, “This is nothing but an open magic.

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ۝١٦

ءَاِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُـنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوۡثُوۡنَۙ‏  ۝١٦

37:16 Is it when we have died and become dust and bones, that we shall be raised again,

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۝١٧

اَوَاٰبَآؤُنَا الۡاَوَّلُوۡنَؕ‏ ۝١٧

37:17 and even our fathers of aforetime?”

قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ۝١٨

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ دٰخِرُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٨

37:18 Say, “Yes, and you shall be disgraced (too)!”

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝١٩

فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ فَاِذَا هُمۡ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٩

37:19 So, it will be only a single castigating call, and all of a sudden they will begin to see.

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٠

وَقَالُوۡا يٰوَيۡلَنَا هٰذَا يَوۡمُ الدِّيۡنِ‏ ۝٢٠

37:20 And they will be saying, “Woe to us; this is the Day of Retribution.”

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢١

هٰذَا يَوۡمُ الۡفَصۡلِ الَّذِىۡ كُنۡتُمۡ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوۡنَ‏ ۝٢١

37:21 (It will be said to them,) “This is the Day of Judgment that you used to deny.”

ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ۝٢٢

اُحۡشُرُوا الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا وَاَزۡوَاجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ‏  ۝٢٢

37:22 (It will be said to the angels,) “Muster all those who were unjust, and their fellows, and whatever they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٢٣

مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ فَاهۡدُوۡهُمۡ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏ ۝٢٣

37:23 other than Allah, and show them the way to Jahannam ,

وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ۝٢٤

وَقِفُوۡهُمۡ​ اِنَّهُمۡ مَّسْـُٔـوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٢٤

37:24 and stop them (for a while,) for they are to be asked some questions.”

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ۝٢٥

مَا لَـكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُوۡنَ‏ ۝٢٥

37:25 (Then they will be asked, “What is wrong with you that you do not help each other?”

بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ۝٢٦

بَلۡ هُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُوۡنَ‏ ۝٢٦

37:26 On the contrary, that day all of them will have totally surrendered.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢٧

وَاَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوۡنَ‏ ۝٢٧

37:27 And some of them (the followers of their chiefs) will turn to others (the chiefs), asking questions from one another.

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٢٨

قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّكُمۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَاۡتُوۡنَنَا عَنِ الۡيَمِيۡنِ‏ ۝٢٨

37:28 They (the followers) will say, “You were the ones who used to come to (mislead) us forcefully.”

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٢٩

قَالُوۡا بَلْ لَّمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا مُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٩

37:29 They (the chiefs) will say, “On the contrary, you yourselves were not believers.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَٰغِينَ ۝٣٠

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ سُلۡطٰنِ​ۚ بَلۡ كُنۡتُمۡ قَوۡمًا طٰغِيۡنَ‏  ۝٣٠

37:30 We had no authority over you at all, but you yourselves were a transgressing people.

فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ۝٣١

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ اِنَّا لَذَآٮِٕقُوۡنَ‏ ۝٣١

37:31 So, the word of our Lord has come true against us. Indeed, we have to taste (the punishment).

فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ۝٣٢

فَاَغۡوَيۡنٰكُمۡ اِنَّا كُنَّا غٰوِيۡنَ‏ ۝٣٢

37:32 We did misguide you, (because) we were ourselves erroneous”.

فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ۝٣٣

فَاِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ فِى الۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُوۡنَ‏ ۝٣٣

37:33 So, that day, they will share each other in punishment.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٣٤

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِالۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ‏ ۝٣٤

37:34 This is how We deal with the criminals.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ۝٣٥

اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡۤا اِذَا قِيۡلَ لَهُمۡ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُۙ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَۙ‏  ۝٣٥

37:35 They were those to whom when it was said: “There is no god but Allah”, they waxed proud,

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ۝٣٦

وَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ اَٮِٕنَّا لَتٰرِكُوۡۤا اٰلِهَـتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجۡـنُوۡنٍ ؕ‏ ۝٣٦

37:36 and used to say, “Are we really to leave our gods because of an insane poet?”

بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝٣٧

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِالۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ‏ ۝٣٧

37:37 No, he has come with Truth and has confirmed all the messengers (of Allah).

إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ۝٣٨

اِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآٮِٕقُوا الۡعَذَابِ الۡاَلِيۡمِ​ۚ‏ ۝٣٨

37:38 Surely you have to taste the painful punishment,-

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٣٩

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ اِلَّا مَا كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٣٩

37:39 And you will be recompensed for nothing but for what you used to do-

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤٠

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤٠

37:40 unlike Allah’s chosen servants.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝٤١

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌۙ‏ ۝٤١

37:41 Those are the people for whom there is a known provision,

فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٤٢

فَوَاكِهُ​ۚ وَهُمۡ مُّكۡرَمُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٢

37:42 the fruits; and they will be honored

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٤٣

فِىۡ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيۡمِۙ‏ ۝٤٣

37:43 in Gardens of Bliss

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٤٤

عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤٤

37:44 facing each other on couches.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ۝٤٥

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِكَاۡسٍ مِّنۡ مَّعِيۡنٍۢ ۙ‏ ۝٤٥

37:45 They will be served with a cup from a flowing drink,

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ۝٤٦

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِيۡنَ​ ۖ​ۚ‏ ۝٤٦

37:46 (that will be) white (and) delicious for those who drink.

لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ۝٤٧

لَا فِيۡهَا غَوۡلٌ وَّلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنۡزَفُوۡنَ‏ ۝٤٧

37:47 There will be no headache therein, nor will they be intoxicated with it,

وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ ۝٤٨

وَعِنۡدَهُمۡ قٰصِرٰتُ الطَّرۡفِ عِيۡنٌۙ‏ ۝٤٨

37:48 and by their side there will be females restricting their gazes (to their husbands), having pretty big eyes,

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَّكْنُونٌ ۝٤٩

كَاَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٌ مَّكۡنُوۡنٌ‏ ۝٤٩

37:49 as if they were eggs hidden (under feathers, protected from pollution).

فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٥٠

فَاَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰى بَعۡضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوۡنَ‏ ۝٥٠

37:50 Then they will turn to each other asking questions mutually.

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ ۝٥١

قَالَ قَآٮِٕلٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ اِنِّىۡ كَانَ لِىۡ قَرِيۡنٌۙ‏ ۝٥١

37:51 A speaker from them will say, “I had a companion (in the worldly life)

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝٥٢

يَقُوۡلُ اَءِ نَّكَ لَمِنَ الۡمُصَدِّقِيۡنَ‏ ۝٥٢

37:52 who used to say (to me), “Are you one of those who believe?

أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ۝٥٣

ءَاِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَدِيۡنُوۡنَ‏ ۝٥٣

37:53 Is it when we have died and become dust and bones? Is it true that we are going to be recompensed (for our deeds)?”

قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝٥٤

قَالَ هَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّطَّلِعُوۡنَ‏ ۝٥٤

37:54 He (the speaker) will say (to other people in Paradise) “Would you like to have a look (at Jahannam to find out what happened to that companion of mine)?”

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٥

فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَاٰهُ فِىۡ سَوَآءِ الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏ ۝٥٥

37:55 So he will look and will see him in the middle of Jahannam.

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝٥٦

قَالَ تَاللّٰهِ اِنۡ كِدْتَّ لَـتُرۡدِيۡنِۙ‏ ۝٥٦

37:56 He (the speaker) will say (to his companion seen in Jahannam ), “By Allah, you were going almost to ruin me.

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ۝٥٧

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّىۡ لَـكُنۡتُ مِنَ الۡمُحۡضَرِيۡنَ‏ ۝٥٧

37:57 But for the favor of my Lord, I would have been among those produced for punishment.”

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝٥٨

اَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٥٨

37:58 (Then the speaker will address other people of Paradise in delight and wonder, saying,) “Are we not then to die anymore

إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝٥٩

اِلَّا مَوۡتَتَـنَا الۡاُوۡلٰى وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِيۡنَ‏ ۝٥٩

37:59 beyond our first death, nor are we going to be punished?”

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٦٠

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُ‏ ۝٦٠

37:60 This is, indeed, the great achievement.

لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ۝٦١

لِمِثۡلِ هٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ الۡعٰمِلُوۡنَ‏ ۝٦١

37:61 For this kind (of achievement), all workers must work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٦٢

اَذٰ لِكَ خَيۡرٌ نُّزُلًا اَمۡ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّوۡمِ‏ ۝٦٢

37:62 Is that (blissful Paradise) better for hospitality or the tree of zaqqūm ?

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ۝٦٣

اِنَّا جَعَلۡنٰهَا فِتۡنَةً لِّلظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ۝٦٣

37:63 We have made it a test for the unjust.

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٤

اِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخۡرُجُ فِىۡۤ اَصۡلِ الۡجَحِيۡمِۙ‏ ۝٦٤

37:64 It is a tree that comes forth in the bottom of Jahannam.

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۝٦٥

طَلۡعُهَا كَاَنَّهٗ رُءُوۡسُ الشَّيٰطِيۡنِ‏ ۝٦٥

37:65 Its fruits are like the heads of devils.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ۝٦٦

فَاِنَّهُمۡ لَاٰكِلُوۡنَ مِنۡهَا فَمٰلِــُٔــوۡنَ مِنۡهَا الۡبُطُوۡنَ ؕ‏  ۝٦٦

37:66 So, they have to eat from it and have to fill their bellies with it.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ۝٦٧

ثُمَّ اِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبًا مِّنۡ حَمِيۡمٍ​ۚ‏ ۝٦٧

37:67 Then they will have, on top of it, a mixture made of boiling water.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٦٨

ثُمَّ اِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَا۟اِلَى الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏ ۝٦٨

37:68 Then, their final return is to the Fire.

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ۝٦٩

اِنَّهُمۡ اَلۡفَوۡا اٰبَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٦٩

37:69 They found their fathers on the wrong path.

فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ۝٧٠

فَهُمۡ عَلٰٓى اٰثٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُوۡنَ‏ ۝٧٠

37:70 So, they used to run in their footsteps.

وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝٧١

وَلَـقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ اَكۡثَرُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٧١

37:71 Most of the earlier ones (too) had gone astray before them.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ۝٧٢

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيۡهِمۡ مُّنۡذِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝٧٢

37:72 We did send warners among them.

فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝٧٣

فَانْظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الۡمُنۡذَرِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٧٣

37:73 So look, how was the end of those warned -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٧٤

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ‏ ۝٧٤

37:74 except Allah’s chosen servants.

وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ۝٧٥

وَلَقَدۡ نَادٰٮنَا نُوۡحٌ فَلَنِعۡمَ الۡمُجِيۡبُوۡنَ  ۖ‏ ۝٧٥

37:75 And NūH did call Us (for help after he was disappointed with his people), so (We accepted his prayer, as) We are the best to respond.

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٧٦

وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَاَهۡلَهٗ مِنَ الۡكَرۡبِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ  ۖ‏ ۝٧٦

37:76 And We delivered him and his family from the great agony,

وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ۝٧٧

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ هُمُ الۡبٰقِيۡنَ  ۖ‏ ۝٧٧

37:77 and made his progeny the sole survivors (from the Deluge).

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝٧٨

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِى الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَ  ۖ‏ ۝٧٨

37:78 And We left for him (a word of praise) among the later people, (that is):

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٧٩

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰى نُوۡحٍ فِى الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ۝٧٩

37:79 Salām be on NūH among (the people of) all the worlds.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝٨٠

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝٨٠

37:80 Certainly, this is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٨١

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝٨١

37:81 He was one of Our believing servants.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝٨٢

ثُمَّ اَغۡرَقۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ‏ ۝٨٢

37:82 Then, we drowned others.

وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٨٣

وَاِنَّ مِنۡ شِيۡعَتِهٖ لَاِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ​ۘ‏ ۝٨٣

37:83 And certainly one of his adherents was Ibrāhīm.

إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ ۝٨٤

اِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهٗ بِقَلۡبٍ سَلِيۡمٍ‏ ۝٨٤

37:84 (Remember) when he came to his Lord with a pure heart,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝٨٥

اِذۡ قَالَ لِاَبِيۡهِ وَقَوۡمِهٖ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝٨٥

37:85 when he said to his father and his people, “What is that which you worship?

أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ۝٨٦

اَٮِٕفۡكًا اٰلِهَةً دُوۡنَ اللّٰهِ تُرِيۡدُوۡنَؕ‏ ۝٨٦

37:86 Do you wish (to have) fallacious gods other than Allah?

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٨٧

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمۡ بِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ۝٨٧

37:87 Then, what do you think about the Lord of the worlds?”

فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٨٨

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةً فِى النُّجُوۡمِۙ‏ ۝٨٨

37:88 Then, he cast a look at the stars,

فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ ۝٨٩

فَقَالَ اِنِّىۡ سَقِيۡمٌ‏ ۝٨٩

37:89 and then said, “I feel indisposed”

فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ۝٩٠

فَتَوَلَّوۡا عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝٩٠

37:90 So they went away from him, turning their backs.

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝٩١

فَرَاغَ اِلٰٓى اٰلِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ اَلَا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝٩١

37:91 And he made his way to their ‘gods’ and said to them, “Why would you not eat?

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝٩٢

مَا لَـكُمۡ لَا تَنۡطِقُوۡنَ‏ ۝٩٢

37:92 What is wrong with you that you do not speak?”

فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٩٣

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبًۢا بِالۡيَمِيۡنِ‏ ۝٩٣

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

فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ۝٩٤

فَاَقۡبَلُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّوۡنَ‏ ۝٩٤

37:94 Then, they (the idolaters) came to him rushing.

قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ۝٩٥

قَالَ اَتَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مَا تَنۡحِتُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٩٥

37:95 He said, “Do you worship what is carved by yourselves,

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ۝٩٦

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ۝٩٦

37:96 while Allah has created you and what you make?”

قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٩٧

قَالُوا ابۡنُوۡا لَهٗ بُنۡيَانًا فَاَلۡقُوۡهُ فِى الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏ ۝٩٧

37:97 They said, “Build for him a structure, and throw him into the blazing fire.”

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ۝٩٨

فَاَرَادُوۡا بِهٖ كَيۡدًا فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمُ الۡاَسۡفَلِيۡنَ‏ ۝٩٨

37:98 So, they intended to bring harm to him, but We made them the lowest (by frustrating their plan).

وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ۝٩٩

وَقَالَ اِنِّىۡ ذَاهِبٌ اِلٰى رَبِّىۡ سَيَهۡدِيۡنِ‏ ۝٩٩

37:99 And he said, “I am going to my Lord. He will show me the way.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١٠٠

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِىۡ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٠٠

37:100 O my Lord, bless me with a righteous son.”

فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ ۝١٠١

فَبَشَّرۡنٰهُ بِغُلٰمٍ حَلِيۡمٍ‏ ۝١٠١

37:101 So, We gave him the good news of a forbearing boy.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ۝١٠٢

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعۡىَ قَالَ يٰبُنَىَّ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰى فِى الۡمَنَامِ اَنِّىۡۤ اَذۡبَحُكَ فَانْظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرٰى​ؕ قَالَ يٰۤاَبَتِ افۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُ​ سَتَجِدُنِىۡۤ اِنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الصّٰبِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٠٢

37:102 Thereafter, when he (the boy) reached an age in which he could work with him, he (Ibrāhīm) said, “O my little son, I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so consider, what is your opinion?” He said, “O my dear father, do what you have been ordered to do. You will find me, inshā’allah , (if Allah wills) one of those who endure patiently.”

فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ۝١٠٣

فَلَمَّاۤ اَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهٗ لِلۡجَبِيۡنِ​ۚ‏ ۝١٠٣

37:103 So, (it was a great episode) when both of them submitted themselves (to Allah’s will), and he laid him on his forehead (to slaughter him),

وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ۝١٠٤

وَنَادَيۡنٰهُ اَنۡ يّٰۤاِبۡرٰهِيۡمُۙ‏ ۝١٠٤

37:104 and then We called out to him, “O Ibrāhīm,

قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٠٥

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ الرُّءۡيَا ​ ​ۚ اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٠٥

37:105 you did make the dream come true.” This is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝١٠٦

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الۡبَلٰٓؤُا الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ ۝١٠٦

37:106 This was indeed a trial that clearly demonstrated (their obedience).

وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ ۝١٠٧

وَفَدَيۡنٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيۡمٍ‏ ۝١٠٧

37:107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١٠٨

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِى الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَ​ۖ‏ ۝١٠٨

37:108 and We left for him (a word of praise) among the later people,

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝١٠٩

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰٓى اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ‏ ۝١٠٩

37:109 (that is,) “Salām be on Ibrāhīm!

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١١٠

كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١١٠

37:110 This is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١١١

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١١١

37:111 Surely, he is among Our believing servants.

وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ۝١١٢

وَبَشَّرۡنٰهُ بِاِسۡحٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ‏ ۝١١٢

37:112 And We gave him the good news of IsHāq (Isaac), a prophet from among the righteous.

وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ ۝١١٣

وَبٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلٰٓى اِسۡحٰقَ​ؕ وَ مِنۡ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٌ وَّظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهٖ مُبِيۡنٌ​‏ ۝١١٣

37:113 And We did bless him, and IsHāq. And among the progeny of both of them, some are good and some are utterly unjust to their own selves.

وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١١٤

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلٰى مُوۡسٰى وَهٰرُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١١٤

37:114 Certainly We bestowed favors upon Mūsā and Hārūn,

وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝١١٥

وَنَجَّيۡنٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ الۡكَرۡبِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ​ۚ‏ ۝١١٥

37:115 and We delivered them and their people from the great agony,

وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ۝١١٦

وَنَصَرۡنٰهُمۡ فَكَانُوۡا هُمُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١١٦

37:116 and We helped them, so they became victors,

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ۝١١٧

وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُمَا الۡكِتٰبَ الۡمُسۡتَبِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١١٧

37:117 and We gave them the clear book,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝١١٨

وَهَدَيۡنٰهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الۡمُسۡتَقِيۡمَ​ۚ‏ ۝١١٨

37:118 and guided them to the straight path.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١١٩

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِى الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١١٩

37:119 And We left for them (a word of praise) among the later people,

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ۝١٢٠

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰى مُوۡسٰى وَهٰرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٢٠

37:120 (that is,) Salām be on Mūsā and Hārūn!

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٢١

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٢١

37:121 This is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٢٢

اِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٢٢

37:122 Surely, both of them were among Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٢٣

وَاِنَّ اِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَؕ‏ ۝١٢٣

37:123 And surely, Ilyās is one of the messengers.

إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝١٢٤

اِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهٖۤ اَلَا تَتَّقُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٢٤

37:124 (Remember) when he said to his people: “Do you not fear Allah?

أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ۝١٢٥

اَتَدۡعُوۡنَ بَعۡلًا وَّتَذَرُوۡنَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡخٰلِقِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٢٥

37:125 Do you invoke Ba‘l, and ignore the Best of the creators,

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٢٦

اللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ اٰبَآٮِٕكُمُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٢٦

37:126 that is, Allah who is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?”

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٢٧

فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَاِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٢٧

37:127 Then they rejected him. Therefore, they will be arraigned -

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٢٨

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٢٨

37:128 except Allah’s chosen servants.

وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ۝١٢٩

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِى الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٢٩

37:129 And We left for him (a word of praise) among the later people,

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ۝١٣٠

سَلٰمٌ عَلٰٓى اِلۡ يَاسِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٣٠

37:130 (that is,) “Salām on Ilyāsīn (Ilyās).

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٣١

اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٣١

37:131 This is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝١٣٢

اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٣٢

37:132 Surely, he was from among Our believing servants.

وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٣٣

وَاِنَّ لُوۡطًا لَّمِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَؕ‏ ۝١٣٣

37:133 And surely, LūT is one of the messengers.

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝١٣٤

اِذۡ نَجَّيۡنٰهُ وَاَهۡلَهٗۤ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٣٤

37:134 (Remember) when We saved him and his family, all of them,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝١٣٥

اِلَّا عَجُوۡزًا فِى الۡغٰبِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٣٥

37:135 except an old woman among those remaining behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ۝١٣٦

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٣٦

37:136 After that, We destroyed others

وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝١٣٧

وَاِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّوۡنَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مُّصۡبِحِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٣٧

37:137 and you do pass by them at daybreak

وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ۝١٣٨

وَبِالَّيۡلِ​ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ​‏ ۝١٣٨

37:138 and by nightfall. Would you still not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٣٩

وَاِنَّ يُوۡنُسَ لَمِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَؕ‏ ۝١٣٩

37:139 And surely, Yūnus (Jonah) is from among the messengers.

إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ۝١٤٠

اِذۡ اَبَقَ اِلَى الۡفُلۡكِ الۡمَشۡحُوۡنِۙ‏ ۝١٤٠

37:140 (Remember) when he ran away towards the boat that was already loaded.

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ۝١٤١

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الۡمُدۡحَضِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٤١

37:141 Then he participated in drawing lots (to offload one of the passengers) and was the one who was defeated.

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ ۝١٤٢

فَالۡتَقَمَهُ الۡحُوۡتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيۡمٌ‏ ۝١٤٢

37:142 Then the fish swallowed him while he was reproaching his own self.

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ۝١٤٣

فَلَوۡلَاۤ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الۡمُسَبِّحِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٤٣

37:143 Had he not been of those who proclaim Allah’s purity,

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

لَلَبِثَ فِىۡ بَطۡنِهٖۤ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٤٤

37:144 he would have definitely lived in its belly till the day when the dead will be raised.

فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ ۝١٤٥

فَنَبَذۡنٰهُ بِالۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيۡمٌ​ۚ‏ ۝١٤٥

37:145 Then We cast him ashore in the open while he was ill,

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ ۝١٤٦

وَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةً مِّنۡ يَّقۡطِيۡنٍ​ۚ‏ ۝١٤٦

37:146 and We caused a tree of gourds to grow over him.

وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ۝١٤٧

وَاَرۡسَلۡنٰهُ اِلٰى مِائَةِ اَلۡفٍ اَوۡ يَزِيۡدُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٤٧

37:147 And We had sent him (as messenger) to one hundred thousand, or more.

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٤٨

فَاٰمَنُوۡا فَمَتَّعۡنٰهُمۡ اِلٰى حِيۡنٍؕ‏ ۝١٤٨

37:148 So, they believed, then, We let them enjoy for a time.

فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝١٤٩

فَاسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ اَلِرَبِّكَ الۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الۡبَنُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٤٩

37:149 So ask them, “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?”

أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥٠

اَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةَ اِنَاثًا وَّهُمۡ شٰهِدُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٥٠

37:150 Or, had We created angels as females while they were witnessing?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمۡ مِّنۡ اِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٥١

37:151 Beware! They are the ones who, by way of a lie of theirs, (have the audacity to) say,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

وَلَدَ اللّٰهُۙ وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَـكٰذِبُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٥٢

37:152 “Allah has children” - and they are absolute liars.

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ۝١٥٣

اَصۡطَفَى الۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى الۡبَنِيۡنَؕ‏ ۝١٥٣

37:153 Is it that Allah has chosen daughters (for Himself) instead of sons?

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

مَا لَـكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٥٤

37:154 What is the matter with you? How (arbitrarily) do you judge?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٥٥

37:155 Then, is it that you do not think about it?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝١٥٦

اَمۡ لَـكُمۡ سُلۡطٰنٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏ ۝١٥٦

37:156 Or, is it that there is some open authority with you?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝١٥٧

فَاۡتُوۡا بِكِتٰبِكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٥٧

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

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ۝١٥٨

وَجَعَلُوۡا بَيۡنَهٗ وَبَيۡنَ الۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ؕ​ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ الۡجِنَّةُ اِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٥٨

37:158 And they have made up between Him (Allah) and the Jinns some kinship, while the Jinns already know that they are bound to be seized.-

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٥٩

سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٥٩

37:159 -Pure is Allah from what they describe-

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦٠

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٦٠

37:160 except Allah’s chosen servants.

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

فَاِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٦١

37:161 So, you and those whom you worship,

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ۝١٦٢

مَاۤ اَنۡـتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفٰتِنِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٦٢

37:162 none of you can make anyone turn away from Him (Allah),

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦٣

اِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ الۡجَحِيۡمِ‏ ۝١٦٣

37:163 except him who is to burn in Jahannam.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝١٦٤

وَمَا مِنَّاۤ اِلَّا لَهٗ مَقَامٌ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌۙ‏ ۝١٦٤

37:164 And (the angels say,) “There is no one among us who does not have a known station,

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ۝١٦٥

وَّاِنَّا لَـنَحۡنُ الصَّآفُّوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٦٥

37:165 and We, surely We, are those who stand in rows

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ۝١٦٦

وَاِنَّا لَـنَحۡنُ الۡمُسَبِّحُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٦٦

37:166 and We, surely We, are those who proclaim Allah’s purity.”

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝١٦٧

وَاِنۡ كَانُوۡا لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٦٧

37:167 And they (the pagans) used to say,

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١٦٨

لَوۡ اَنَّ عِنۡدَنَا ذِكۡرًا مِّنَ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝١٦٨

37:168 “Had there been a scripture with us like that of the former people,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝١٦٩

لَـكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٦٩

37:169 we would have certainly been Allah’s chosen servants.”

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝١٧٠

فَكَفَرُوۡا بِهٖ​ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٧٠

37:170 Then (once the divine book came to them,) they disbelieved in it. So, very soon they will come to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٧١

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ ​ۖ​ۚ‏ ۝١٧١

37:171 And Our Word has already come to pass in favor of Our servants, the messengers

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ۝١٧٢

اِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ الۡمَنۡصُوۡرُوۡنَ ‏ ۝١٧٢

37:172 (that) they are the ones who will be supported,

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ۝١٧٣

وَاِنَّ جُنۡدَنَا لَهُمُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٧٣

37:173 and verily it is Our army (of chosen servants) that prevails.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٧٤

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتّٰى حِيۡنٍۙ‏ ۝١٧٤

37:174 So, withdraw your attention from them for some time.

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٧٥

وَاَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٧٥

37:175 But, watch them. They shall soon see (the reality).

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١٧٦

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٧٦

37:176 Are they asking for Our punishment to come sooner?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ۝١٧٧

فَاِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ الۡمُنۡذَرِيۡنَ‏ ۝١٧٧

37:177 So, when it will descend in their courtyard, then, evil will be the morning of those warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ۝١٧٨

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتّٰى حِيۡنٍۙ‏ ۝١٧٨

37:178 So, withdraw your attention from them for some time,

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٧٩

وَّاَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُوۡنَ‏ ۝١٧٩

37:179 and watch. They shall soon see (the reality).

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ۝١٨٠

سُبۡحٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٨٠

37:180 Pure is your Lord, the Lord of all might and honor, from what they describe

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝١٨١

وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَى الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٨١

37:181 and Salām be on the messengers

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝١٨٢

وَالۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ​‏ ۝١٨٢

37:182 and praised is Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
