By those who set the ranks in battle order (37:1)
And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof (37:2)
And those who read (the Word) for a reminder, (37:3)
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ ﴿4﴾
Lo! thy Lord is surely One; (37:4)
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ ﴿5﴾
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings. (37:5)
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ﴿6﴾
Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets; (37:6)
وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ ﴿7﴾
With security from every froward devil. (37:7)
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ ﴿8﴾
They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side, (37:8)
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ ﴿9﴾
Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment; (37:9)
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ ﴿10﴾
Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame. (37:10)
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. (37:11)
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ ﴿12﴾
Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock (37:12)
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ﴿13﴾
And heed not when they are reminded, (37:13)
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ ﴿14﴾
And seek to scoff when they behold a portent. (37:14)
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ﴿15﴾
And they say: Lo! this is mere magic; (37:15)
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿16﴾
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)? (37:16)
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿17﴾
And our forefathers? (37:17)
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ ﴿18﴾
Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low. (37:18)
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ﴿19﴾
There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold, (37:19)
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿20﴾
And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment. (37:20)
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿21﴾
This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny. (37:21)
۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ﴿22﴾
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship (37:22)
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿23﴾
Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell; (37:23)
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ ﴿24﴾
And stop them, for they must be questioned. (37:24)
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ ﴿25﴾
What aileth you that ye help not one another? (37:25)
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ ﴿26﴾
Nay, but this day they make full submission. (37:26)
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿27﴾
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. (37:27)
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿28﴾
They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth). (37:28)
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿29﴾
They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers. (37:29)
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ ﴿30﴾
We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk. (37:30)
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ ﴿31﴾
Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom). (37:31)
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ ﴿32﴾
Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray. (37:32)
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ ﴿33﴾
Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom. (37:33)
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿34﴾
Lo! thus deal We with the guilty. (37:34)
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿35﴾
For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful (37:35)
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍۢ مَّجْنُونٍۭ ﴿36﴾
And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet? (37:36)
بَلْ جَآءَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿37﴾
Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him). (37:37)
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ ﴿38﴾
Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom - (37:38)
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿39﴾
Ye are requited naught save what ye did - (37:39)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿40﴾
Save single-minded slaves of Allah; (37:40)
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿41﴾
For them there is a known provision, (37:41)
فَوَٰكِهُ ۖ وَهُم مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿42﴾
Fruits. And they will be honoured (37:42)
In the Gardens of delight, (37:43)
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿44﴾
On couches facing one another; (37:44)
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۭ ﴿45﴾
A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them, (37:45)
بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍۢ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ ﴿46﴾
White, delicious to the drinkers, (37:46)
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌۭ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ ﴿47﴾
Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. (37:47)
وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌۭ ﴿48﴾
And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, (37:48)
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ﴿49﴾
(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich). (37:49)
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿50﴾
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. (37:50)
قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌۭ ﴿51﴾
A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade (37:51)
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ﴿52﴾
Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)? (37:52)
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ﴿53﴾
Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book? (37:53)
قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ﴿54﴾
He saith: Will ye look? (37:54)
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿55﴾
Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell. (37:55)
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ﴿56﴾
He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin, (37:56)
وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ﴿57﴾
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom). (37:57)
أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ﴿58﴾
Are we then not to die (37:58)
إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ﴿59﴾
Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished? (37:59)
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿60﴾
Lo! this is the supreme triumph. (37:60)
لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ ﴿61﴾
For the like of this, then, let the workers work. (37:61)
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿62﴾
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum? (37:62)
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴿63﴾
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers. (37:63)
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌۭ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿64﴾
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell. (37:64)
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ﴿65﴾
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils (37:65)
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ﴿66﴾
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith. (37:66)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًۭا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ ﴿67﴾
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water (37:67)
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿68﴾
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell. (37:68)
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ ﴿69﴾
They indeed found their fathers astray, (37:69)
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ ﴿70﴾
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. (37:70)
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿71﴾
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them, (37:71)
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ ﴿72﴾
And verily We sent among them warners. (37:72)
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿73﴾
Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned, (37:73)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿74﴾
Save single-minded slaves of Allah. (37:74)
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ﴿75﴾
And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer (37:75)
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿76﴾
And We saved him and his household from the great distress, (37:76)
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ ﴿77﴾
And made his seed the survivors, (37:77)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿78﴾
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation): (37:78)
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍۢ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿79﴾
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples! (37:79)
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿80﴾
Lo! thus do We reward the good. (37:80)
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿81﴾
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. (37:81)
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿82﴾
Then We did drown the others. (37:82)
۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿83﴾
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham (37:83)
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍ ﴿84﴾
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart; (37:84)
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿85﴾
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship? (37:85)
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةًۭ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ﴿86﴾
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire? (37:86)
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿87﴾
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds? (37:87)
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةًۭ فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ ﴿88﴾
And he glanced a glance at the stars (37:88)
Then said: Lo! I feel sick! (37:89)
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ ﴿90﴾
And they turned their backs and went away from him. (37:90)
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿91﴾
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? (37:91)
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ﴿92﴾
What aileth you that ye speak not? (37:92)
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿93﴾
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. (37:93)
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ ﴿94﴾
And (his people) came toward him, hastening. (37:94)
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ ﴿95﴾
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve (37:95)
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿96﴾
When Allah hath created you and what ye make? (37:96)
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًۭا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿97﴾
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire. (37:97)
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًۭا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ ﴿98﴾
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost. (37:98)
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿99﴾
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. (37:99)
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿100﴾
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous. (37:100)
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ ﴿101﴾
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. (37:101)
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. (37:102)
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ ﴿103﴾
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face, (37:103)
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ ﴿104﴾
We called unto him: O Abraham! (37:104)
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿105﴾
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good. (37:105)
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿106﴾
Lo! that verily was a clear test. (37:106)
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ﴿107﴾
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim. (37:107)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿108﴾
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation): (37:108)
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ﴿109﴾
Peace be unto Abraham! (37:109)
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿110﴾
Thus do We reward the good. (37:110)
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿111﴾
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. (37:111)
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ﴿112﴾
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous. (37:112)
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves. (37:113)
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿114﴾
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron, (37:114)
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿115﴾
And saved them and their people from the great distress, (37:115)
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ﴿116﴾
And helped them so that they became the victors. (37:116)
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ ﴿117﴾
And We gave them the clear Scripture (37:117)
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿118﴾
And showed them the right path. (37:118)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿119﴾
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation): (37:119)
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ﴿120﴾
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron! (37:120)
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿121﴾

إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿122﴾
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves. (37:122)
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿123﴾
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn), (37:123)
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿124﴾
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)? (37:124)
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًۭا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ ﴿125﴾
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators, (37:125)
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿126﴾
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers? (37:126)
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿127﴾
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom) (37:127)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿128﴾
Save single-minded slaves of Allah. (37:128)
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿129﴾
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation): (37:129)
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ ﴿130﴾

إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿134﴾
When We saved him and his household, every one, (37:134)
إِلَّا عَجُوزًۭا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ﴿135﴾
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind; (37:135)
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ ﴿136﴾
Then We destroyed the others. (37:136)
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ ﴿137﴾
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning (37:137)
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿138﴾
And at night-time; have ye then no sense? (37:138)
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿139﴾
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) (37:139)
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ ﴿140﴾
When he fled unto the laden ship, (37:140)
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ ﴿141﴾
And then drew lots and was of those rejected; (37:141)
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ﴿142﴾
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; (37:142)
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ ﴿143﴾
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) (37:143)
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿144﴾
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; (37:144)
۞ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌۭ ﴿145﴾
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; (37:145)
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةًۭ مِّن يَقْطِينٍۢ ﴿146﴾
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; (37:146)
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ ﴿147﴾

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿148﴾
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while. (37:148)
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ﴿149﴾
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons? (37:149)
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًۭا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ ﴿150﴾
Or created We the angels females while they were present? (37:150)
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿151﴾
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say: (37:151)
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ﴿152﴾
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie. (37:152)
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ ﴿153﴾

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿155﴾
Will ye not then reflect? (37:155)
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿156﴾
Or have ye a clear warrant? (37:156)
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿157﴾
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful. (37:157)
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him). (37:158)
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿159﴾
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him), (37:159)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿160﴾
Save single-minded slaves of Allah. (37:160)
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿161﴾

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ﴿162﴾

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿163﴾

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ ﴿165﴾
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks, (37:165)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ ﴿166﴾
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise (37:166)
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿167﴾
And indeed they used to say: (37:167)
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿168﴾
If we had but a reminder from the men of old (37:168)
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿169﴾
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. (37:169)
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿170﴾
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know. (37:170)
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿171﴾
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn) (37:171)
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ ﴿172﴾
That they verily would be helped, (37:172)
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ ﴿173﴾
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors. (37:173)
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿174﴾
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile, (37:174)
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿175﴾
And watch, for they will (soon) see. (37:175)
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴿176﴾
Would they hasten on Our doom? (37:176)
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿177﴾
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned. (37:177)

Withdraw from them awhile (37:178)
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿179﴾
