بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفّٗا ١

37:1 By those [angels] lined up in rows

فَٱلزَّـٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا ٢

37:2 And those who drive [the clouds]

فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا ٣

37:3 And those who recite the message

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ ٤

37:4 Indeed, your God is One

رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ ٥

37:5 Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ ٦

37:6 Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ ٧

37:7 And as protection against every rebellious devil

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ ٨

37:8 [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side

دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ ٩

37:9 Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment

إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ ١٠

37:10 Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ ١١

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

بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ ١٢

37:12 But you wonder, while they mock

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ ١٣

37:13 And when they are reminded, they remember not

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ ١٤

37:14 And when they see a sign, they ridicule

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ ١٥

37:15 And say, "This is not but obvious magic

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ١٦

37:16 When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ١٧

37:17 And our forefathers [as well]

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ ١٨

37:18 Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ ١٩

37:19 It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ ٢٠

37:20 They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢١

37:21 [They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny

۞ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ ٢٢

37:22 [The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٢٣

37:23 Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ ٢٤

37:24 And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ٢٥

37:25 [They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other

بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ ٢٦

37:26 But they, that Day, are in surrender

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٢٧

37:27 And they will approach one another blaming each other

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٢٨

37:28 They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right

قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ ٢٩

37:29 The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ ٣٠

37:30 And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people

فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ٣١

37:31 So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]

فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ٣٢

37:32 And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators

فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ ٣٣

37:33 So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ٣٤

37:34 Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ ٣٥

37:35 Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ ٣٦

37:36 And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet

بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ٣٧

37:37 Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers

إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ ٣٨

37:38 Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment

وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٣٩

37:39 And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ٤٠

37:40 But not the chosen servants of Allah

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ٤١

37:41 Those will have a provision determined

فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ ٤٢

37:42 Fruits; and they will be honored

فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٤٣

37:43 In gardens of pleasure

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ٤٤

37:44 On thrones facing one another

يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ ٤٥

37:45 There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ ٤٦

37:46 White and delicious to the drinkers

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ ٤٧

37:47 No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated

وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ ٤٨

37:48 And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ ٤٩

37:49 As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٥٠

37:50 And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ ٥١

37:51 A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ ٥٢

37:52 Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ٥٣

37:53 That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ٥٤

37:54 He will say, "Would you [care to] look

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٥٥

37:55 And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ ٥٦

37:56 He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ ٥٧

37:57 If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ٥٨

37:58 Then, are we not to die

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ٥٩

37:59 Except for our first death, and we will not be punished

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٦٠

37:60 Indeed, this is the great attainment

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ ٦١

37:61 For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ٦٢

37:62 Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٦٣

37:63 Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٦٤

37:64 Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ٦٥

37:65 Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ ٦٦

37:66 And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ ٦٧

37:67 Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٦٨

37:68 Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ ٦٩

37:69 Indeed they found their fathers astray

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ ٧٠

37:70 So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٧١

37:71 And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ٧٢

37:72 And We had already sent among them warners

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ ٧٣

37:73 Then look how was the end of those who were warned

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ٧٤

37:74 But not the chosen servants of Allah

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ ٧٥

37:75 And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٧٦

37:76 And We saved him and his family from the great affliction

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ ٧٧

37:77 And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٧٨

37:78 And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٧٩

37:79 Peace upon Noah among the worlds

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٨٠

37:80 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٨١

37:81 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ ٨٢

37:82 Then We drowned the disbelievers

۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٨٣

37:83 And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ ٨٤

37:84 When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ٨٥

37:85 [And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ٨٦

37:86 Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٧

37:87 Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ ٨٨

37:88 And he cast a look at the stars

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ ٨٩

37:89 And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ ٩٠

37:90 So they turned away from him, departing

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٩١

37:91 Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ٩٢

37:92 What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩٣

37:93 And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ ٩٤

37:94 Then the people came toward him, hastening

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ ٩٥

37:95 He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٦

37:96 While Allah created you and that which you do

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٩٧

37:97 They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ ٩٨

37:98 And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ ٩٩

37:99 And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٠٠

37:100 My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ ١٠١

37:101 So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢

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

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ ١٠٣

37:103 And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ ١٠٤

37:104 We called to him, "O Abraham

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٠٥

37:105 You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ١٠٦

37:106 Indeed, this was the clear trial

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ ١٠٧

37:107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٠٨

37:108 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ١٠٩

37:109 Peace upon Abraham

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١١٠

37:110 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١١

37:111 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١١٢

37:112 And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ ١١٣

37:113 And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ١١٤

37:114 And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ١١٥

37:115 And We saved them and their people from the great affliction

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ ١١٦

37:116 And We supported them so it was they who overcame

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ ١١٧

37:117 And We gave them the explicit Scripture

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ ١١٨

37:118 And We guided them on the straight path

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١١٩

37:119 And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ١٢٠

37:120 Peace upon Moses and Aaron

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٢١

37:121 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٢٢

37:122 Indeed, they were of Our believing servants

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٢٣

37:123 And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ١٢٤

37:124 When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ ١٢٥

37:125 Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٢٦

37:126 Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ١٢٧

37:127 And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٢٨

37:128 Except the chosen servants of Allah

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٢٩

37:129 And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ ١٣٠

37:130 Peace upon Elias

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٣١

37:131 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٣٢

37:132 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٣٣

37:133 And indeed, Lot was among the messengers

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ ١٣٤

37:134 [So mention] when We saved him and his family, all

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ ١٣٥

37:135 Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ ١٣٦

37:136 Then We destroyed the others

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ ١٣٧

37:137 And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ١٣٨

37:138 And at night. Then will you not use reason

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٣٩

37:139 And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ ١٤٠

37:140 [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ ١٤١

37:141 And he drew lots and was among the losers

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ ١٤٢

37:142 Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ ١٤٣

37:143 And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ ١٤٤

37:144 He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected

۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ ١٤٥

37:145 But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ ١٤٦

37:146 And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ ١٤٧

37:147 And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ ١٤٨

37:148 And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ ١٤٩

37:149 So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ ١٥٠

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

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٥١

37:151 Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ١٥٢

37:152 Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ ١٥٣

37:153 Has He chosen daughters over sons

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ١٥٤

37:154 What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٥٥

37:155 Then will you not be reminded

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٥٦

37:156 Or do you have a clear authority

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٥٧

37:157 Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ١٥٨

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]

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٥٩

37:159 Exalted is Allah above what they describe

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٠

37:160 Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ١٦١

37:161 So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ١٦٢

37:162 You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١٦٣

37:163 Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire

وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ١٦٤

37:164 [The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ١٦٥

37:165 And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ ١٦٦

37:166 And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٦٧

37:167 And indeed, the disbelievers used to say

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٦٨

37:168 If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٩

37:169 We would have been the chosen servants of Allah

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٧٠

37:170 But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٧١

37:171 And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ ١٧٢

37:172 [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ ١٧٣

37:173 And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ١٧٤

37:174 So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ ١٧٥

37:175 And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ١٧٦

37:176 Then for Our punishment are they impatient

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ ١٧٧

37:177 But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ ١٧٨

37:178 And leave them for a time

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ ١٧٩

37:179 And see, for they are going to see

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٨٠

37:180 Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ١٨١

37:181 And peace upon the messengers

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٨٢

37:182 And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
