37:1
وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفّٗا
By those [angels] lined up in rows
37:2
فَٱلزَّـٰجِرَٰتِ زَجۡرٗا
And those who drive [the clouds]
37:3
فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا
And those who recite the message
37:4
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٰحِدٞ
Indeed, your God is One
37:5
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises
37:6
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
37:7
وَحِفۡظٗا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَٰنٖ مَّارِدٖ
And as protection against every rebellious devil
37:8
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side
37:9
دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment
37:10
إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ
Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]
37:11
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ
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
37:12
بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ
But you wonder, while they mock
37:13
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ
And when they are reminded, they remember not
37:14
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ
And when they see a sign, they ridicule
37:15
وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ
And say, "This is not but obvious magic
37:16
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected
37:17
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
And our forefathers [as well]
37:18
قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ
Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible
37:19
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing
37:20
وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense
37:21
هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny
37:22
۞ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
37:23
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
37:24
وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned
37:25
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other
37:26
بَلۡ هُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مُسۡتَسۡلِمُونَ
But they, that Day, are in surrender
37:27
وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
And they will approach one another blaming each other
37:28
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ كُنتُمۡ تَأۡتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ
They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right
37:29
قَالُواْ بَل لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ
The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers
37:30
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَٰنِۭۖ بَلۡ كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا طَٰغِينَ
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people
37:31
فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡنَا قَوۡلُ رَبِّنَآۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]
37:32
فَأَغۡوَيۡنَٰكُمۡ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators
37:33
فَإِنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment
37:34
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals
37:35
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
37:36
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓاْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٖ مَّجۡنُونِۭ
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet
37:37
بَلۡ جَآءَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers
37:38
إِنَّكُمۡ لَذَآئِقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡأَلِيمِ
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment
37:39
وَمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do
37:40
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah
37:41
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
Those will have a provision determined
37:42
فَوَٰكِهُ وَهُم مُّكۡرَمُونَ
Fruits; and they will be honored
37:43
فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
In gardens of pleasure
37:44
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
On thrones facing one another
37:45
يُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِم بِكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينِۭ
There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring
37:46
بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
White and delicious to the drinkers
37:47
لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated
37:48
وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes
37:49
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected
37:50
فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other
37:51
قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ
A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
37:52
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ
Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
37:53
أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed
37:54
قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ
He will say, "Would you [care to] look
37:55
فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire
37:56
قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ
He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me
37:57
وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]
37:58
أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Then, are we not to die
37:59
إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished
37:60
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
Indeed, this is the great attainment
37:61
لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work
37:62
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum
37:63
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers
37:64
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire
37:65
طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils
37:66
فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies
37:67
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water
37:68
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire
37:69
إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ
Indeed they found their fathers astray
37:70
فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps
37:71
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples
37:72
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
And We had already sent among them warners
37:73
فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
Then look how was the end of those who were warned
37:74
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
But not the chosen servants of Allah
37:75
وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders
37:76
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction
37:77
وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
37:78
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
37:79
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Peace upon Noah among the worlds
37:80
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
37:81
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
37:82
ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We drowned the disbelievers
37:83
۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
And indeed, among his kind was Abraham
37:84
إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ
When he came to his Lord with a sound heart
37:85
إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship
37:86
أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire
37:87
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds
37:88
فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ
And he cast a look at the stars
37:89
فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ
And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill
37:90
فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ
So they turned away from him, departing
37:91
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ
Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat
37:92
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ
What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak
37:93
فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand
37:94
فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ
Then the people came toward him, hastening
37:95
قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ
He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve
37:96
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ
While Allah created you and that which you do
37:97
قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire
37:98
فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ
And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased
37:99
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me
37:100
رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous
37:101
فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy
37:102
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
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
37:103
فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead
37:104
وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ
We called to him, "O Abraham
37:105
قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
37:106
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ
Indeed, this was the clear trial
37:107
وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice
37:108
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
37:109
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
Peace upon Abraham
37:110
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
37:111
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
37:112
وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous
37:113
وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself
37:114
وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron
37:115
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction
37:116
وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ
And We supported them so it was they who overcame
37:117
وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ
And We gave them the explicit Scripture
37:118
وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ
And We guided them on the straight path
37:119
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations
37:120
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Peace upon Moses and Aaron
37:121
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
37:122
إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Indeed, they were of Our believing servants
37:123
وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers
37:124
إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah
37:125
أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ
Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators
37:126
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers
37:127
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]
37:128
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Except the chosen servants of Allah
37:129
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
37:130
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ
Peace upon Elias
37:131
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
37:132
إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
37:133
وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And indeed, Lot was among the messengers
37:134
إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ
[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all
37:135
إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ
Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]
37:136
ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ
Then We destroyed the others
37:137
وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ
And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
37:138
وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ
And at night. Then will you not use reason
37:139
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers
37:140
إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship
37:141
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ
And he drew lots and was among the losers
37:142
فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy
37:143
فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah
37:144
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected
37:145
۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill
37:146
وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine
37:147
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more
37:148
فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time
37:149
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons
37:150
أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses
37:151
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say
37:152
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars
37:153
أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ
Has He chosen daughters over sons
37:154
مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement
37:155
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Then will you not be reminded
37:156
أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ
Or do you have a clear authority
37:157
فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful
37:158
وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ
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]
37:159
سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Exalted is Allah above what they describe
37:160
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]
37:161
فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship
37:162
مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
37:163
إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire
37:164
وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position
37:165
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]
37:166
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah
37:167
وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say
37:168
لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples
37:169
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah
37:170
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know
37:171
وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers
37:172
إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
37:173
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome
37:174
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time
37:175
وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see
37:176
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
Then for Our punishment are they impatient
37:177
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned
37:178
وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
And leave them for a time
37:179
وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ
And see, for they are going to see
37:180
سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe
37:181
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And peace upon the messengers
37:182
وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
