بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

    وَالصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا

    By those [angels] lined up in rows

  2. 37:2

    فَالزَّاجِرَاتِ زَجْرًا

    And those who drive [the clouds]

  3. 37:3

    فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا

    And those who recite the message

  4. 37:4

    إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ

    Indeed, your God is One

  5. 37:5

    رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ

    Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises

  6. 37:6

    إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ

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

  7. 37:7

    وَحِفْظًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍ

    And as protection against every rebellious devil

  8. 37:8

    لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

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

  9. 37:9

    دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

    Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment

  10. 37:10

    إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

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

  11. 37:11

    فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنَا ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ لَازِبٍ

    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

  12. 37:12

    بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ

    But you wonder, while they mock

  13. 37:13

    وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ

    And when they are reminded, they remember not

  14. 37:14

    وَإِذَا رَأَوْا آيَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ

    And when they see a sign, they ridicule

  15. 37:15

    وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ

    And say, "This is not but obvious magic

  16. 37:16

    أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

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

  17. 37:17

    أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ

    And our forefathers [as well]

  18. 37:18

    قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنْتُمْ دَاخِرُونَ

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

  19. 37:19

    فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ

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

  20. 37:20

    وَقَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

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

  21. 37:21

    هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

  22. 37:22

    ۞ احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ

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

  23. 37:23

    مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ

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

  24. 37:24

    وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ

    And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned

  25. 37:25

    مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ

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

  26. 37:26

    بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ

    But they, that Day, are in surrender

  27. 37:27

    وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

    And they will approach one another blaming each other

  28. 37:28

    قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ

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

  29. 37:29

    قَالُوا بَلْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ

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

  30. 37:30

    وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۖ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ

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

  31. 37:31

    فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَا ۖ إِنَّا لَذَائِقُونَ

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

  32. 37:32

    فَأَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَاوِينَ

    And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators

  33. 37:33

    فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ

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

  34. 37:34

    إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ

    Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals

  35. 37:35

    إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

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

  36. 37:36

    وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُو آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَجْنُونٍ

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

  37. 37:37

    بَلْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

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

  38. 37:38

    إِنَّكُمْ لَذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ

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

  39. 37:39

    وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

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

  40. 37:40

    إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

    But not the chosen servants of Allah

  41. 37:41

    أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَعْلُومٌ

    Those will have a provision determined

  42. 37:42

    فَوَاكِهُ ۖ وَهُمْ مُكْرَمُونَ

    Fruits; and they will be honored

  43. 37:43

    فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

    In gardens of pleasure

  44. 37:44

    عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ

    On thrones facing one another

  45. 37:45

    يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ

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

  46. 37:46

    بَيْضَاءَ لَذَّةٍ لِلشَّارِبِينَ

    White and delicious to the drinkers

  47. 37:47

    لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنْزَفُونَ

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

  48. 37:48

    وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ

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

  49. 37:49

    كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ

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

  50. 37:50

    فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

    And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

  51. 37:51

    قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٌ

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

  52. 37:52

    يَقُولُ أَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ

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

  53. 37:53

    أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

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

  54. 37:54

    قَالَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُطَّلِعُونَ

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

  55. 37:55

    فَاطَّلَعَ فَرَآهُ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ

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

  56. 37:56

    قَالَ تَاللَّهِ إِنْ كِدْتَ لَتُرْدِينِ

    He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me

  57. 37:57

    وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ

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

  58. 37:58

    أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

    Then, are we not to die

  59. 37:59

    إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

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

  60. 37:60

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

    Indeed, this is the great attainment

  61. 37:61

    لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ

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

  62. 37:62

    أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ

    Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum

  63. 37:63

    إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ

    Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers

  64. 37:64

    إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِي أَصْلِ الْجَحِيمِ

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

  65. 37:65

    طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ

    Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils

  66. 37:66

    فَإِنَّهُمْ لَآكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ

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

  67. 37:67

    ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِنْ حَمِيمٍ

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

  68. 37:68

    ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ

    Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire

  69. 37:69

    إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا آبَاءَهُمْ ضَالِّينَ

    Indeed they found their fathers astray

  70. 37:70

    فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ

    So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps

  71. 37:71

    وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

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

  72. 37:72

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ

    And We had already sent among them warners

  73. 37:73

    فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

    Then look how was the end of those who were warned

  74. 37:74

    إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

    But not the chosen servants of Allah

  75. 37:75

    وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ

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

  76. 37:76

    وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ

    And We saved him and his family from the great affliction

  77. 37:77

    وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُ هُمُ الْبَاقِينَ

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

  78. 37:78

    وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

    And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

  79. 37:79

    سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ

    Peace upon Noah among the worlds

  80. 37:80

    إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

  81. 37:81

    إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

  82. 37:82

    ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

    Then We drowned the disbelievers

  83. 37:83

    ۞ وَإِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْرَاهِيمَ

    And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

  84. 37:84

    إِذْ جَاءَ رَبَّهُ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

    When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

  85. 37:85

    إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ

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

  86. 37:86

    أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

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

  87. 37:87

    فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

    Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

  88. 37:88

    فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ

    And he cast a look at the stars

  89. 37:89

    فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ

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

  90. 37:90

    فَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ

    So they turned away from him, departing

  91. 37:91

    فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

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

  92. 37:92

    مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُونَ

    What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

  93. 37:93

    فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ

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

  94. 37:94

    فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ

    Then the people came toward him, hastening

  95. 37:95

    قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ

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

  96. 37:96

    وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

    While Allah created you and that which you do

  97. 37:97

    قَالُوا ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ

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

  98. 37:98

    فَأَرَادُوا بِهِ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَاهُمُ الْأَسْفَلِينَ

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

  99. 37:99

    وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

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

  100. 37:100

    رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

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

  101. 37:101

    فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ

    So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

  102. 37:102

    فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ

    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

  103. 37:103

    فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ

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

  104. 37:104

    وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَنْ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ

    We called to him, "O Abraham

  105. 37:105

    قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

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

  106. 37:106

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ

    Indeed, this was the clear trial

  107. 37:107

    وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

    And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice

  108. 37:108

    وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

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

  109. 37:109

    سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

    Peace upon Abraham

  110. 37:110

    كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

  111. 37:111

    إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

  112. 37:112

    وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

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

  113. 37:113

    وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ

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

  114. 37:114

    وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

    And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron

  115. 37:115

    وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ

    And We saved them and their people from the great affliction

  116. 37:116

    وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ

    And We supported them so it was they who overcame

  117. 37:117

    وَآتَيْنَاهُمَا الْكِتَابَ الْمُسْتَبِينَ

    And We gave them the explicit Scripture

  118. 37:118

    وَهَدَيْنَاهُمَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

    And We guided them on the straight path

  119. 37:119

    وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الْآخِرِينَ

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

  120. 37:120

    سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

    Peace upon Moses and Aaron

  121. 37:121

    إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

  122. 37:122

    إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed, they were of Our believing servants

  123. 37:123

    وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

    And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers

  124. 37:124

    إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

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

  125. 37:125

    أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ

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

  126. 37:126

    اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

    Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

  127. 37:127

    فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

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

  128. 37:128

    إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

    Except the chosen servants of Allah

  129. 37:129

    وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

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

  130. 37:130

    سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِلْ يَاسِينَ

    Peace upon Elias

  131. 37:131

    إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

  132. 37:132

    إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

  133. 37:133

    وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

    And indeed, Lot was among the messengers

  134. 37:134

    إِذْ نَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

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

  135. 37:135

    إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ

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

  136. 37:136

    ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

    Then We destroyed the others

  137. 37:137

    وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِحِينَ

    And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

  138. 37:138

    وَبِاللَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

    And at night. Then will you not use reason

  139. 37:139

    وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

    And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers

  140. 37:140

    إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

    [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship

  141. 37:141

    فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ

    And he drew lots and was among the losers

  142. 37:142

    فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

    Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

  143. 37:143

    فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ

    And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

  144. 37:144

    لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

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

  145. 37:145

    ۞ فَنَبَذْنَاهُ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ

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

  146. 37:146

    وَأَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِنْ يَقْطِينٍ

    And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

  147. 37:147

    وَأَرْسَلْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ

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

  148. 37:148

    فَآمَنُوا فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

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

  149. 37:149

    فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ الْبَنُونَ

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

  150. 37:150

    أَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِنَاثًا وَهُمْ شَاهِدُونَ

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

  151. 37:151

    أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ مِنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ

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

  152. 37:152

    وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

    Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars

  153. 37:153

    أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ

    Has He chosen daughters over sons

  154. 37:154

    مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

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

  155. 37:155

    أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

    Then will you not be reminded

  156. 37:156

    أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ

    Or do you have a clear authority

  157. 37:157

    فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

    Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

  158. 37:158

    وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

    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]

  159. 37:159

    سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

    Exalted is Allah above what they describe

  160. 37:160

    إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

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

  161. 37:161

    فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

    So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship

  162. 37:162

    مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ

    You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

  163. 37:163

    إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ

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

  164. 37:164

    وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ

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

  165. 37:165

    وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ

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

  166. 37:166

    وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ

    And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah

  167. 37:167

    وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَيَقُولُونَ

    And indeed, the disbelievers used to say

  168. 37:168

    لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

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

  169. 37:169

    لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

    We would have been the chosen servants of Allah

  170. 37:170

    فَكَفَرُوا بِهِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

    But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know

  171. 37:171

    وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ

    And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers

  172. 37:172

    إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُورُونَ

    [That] indeed, they would be those given victory

  173. 37:173

    وَإِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

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

  174. 37:174

    فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

    So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time

  175. 37:175

    وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

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

  176. 37:176

    أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

    Then for Our punishment are they impatient

  177. 37:177

    فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ

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

  178. 37:178

    وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

    And leave them for a time

  179. 37:179

    وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ

    And see, for they are going to see

  180. 37:180

    سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

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

  181. 37:181

    وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ

    And peace upon the messengers

  182. 37:182

    وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

    And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
