[37.1] By those who set the ranks in battle order [37.2] And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof [37.3] And those who read (the Word) for a reminder, [37.4] Lo! thy Lord is surely One. [37.5] Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings. [37.6] Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets: [37.7] With security from every froward devil. [37.8] They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side, [37.9] Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment; [37.10] Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame. [37.11] 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. [37.12] Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock [37.13] And heed not when they are reminded, [37.14] And seek to scoff when they behold a portent [37.15] And they say: lo! this is mere magic; [37.16] When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)? [37.17] And our forefathers? [37.18] Say (O Muhammad): Yea, in truth; and ye will be brought low. [37.19] There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold [37.20] And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment. [37.21] This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny. [37.22] (And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship [37.23] Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell; [37.24] And stop them, for they must be questioned. [37.25] What aileth you that ye help not one another? [37.26] Nay, but this day they make full submission. [37.27] And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. [37.28] They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth). [37.29] They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers. [37.30] We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk. [37.31] Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom). [37.32] Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray. [37.33] Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom. [37.34] Lo! thus deal We with the guilty. [37.35] For when it was said unto them, There is no god save Allah, they were scornful [37.36] And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet? [37.37] Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him). [37.38] Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom-- [37.39] Ye are requited naught save what ye did-- [37.40] Save single-minded slaves of Allah; [37.41] For them there is a known provision, [37.42] Fruits. And they will be honored [37.43] In the Gardens of delight, [37.44] On couches facing one another [37.45] A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them, [37.46] White, delicious to the drinkers, [37.47] Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. [37.48] And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, [37.49] (Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich). [37.50] And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning. [37.51] A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade [37.52] Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)? [37.53] Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones, can we (then) verily be brought to book? [37.54] He saith: Will ye look? [37.55] Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell. [37.56] He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin, [37.57] And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom). [37.58] Are we then not to die [37.59] Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished? [37.60] Lo! this is the supreme triumph. [37.61] For the like of this, then, let the workers work. [37.62] Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqam? [37.63] Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers. [37.64] Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell [37.65] Its crop is as it were the heads of devils [37.66] And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith. [37.67] And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water [37.68] And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell. [37.69] They indeed found their fathers astray, [37.70] But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. [37.71] And verily most of the men of old went astray before them, [37.72] And verily We sent among them warners. [37.73] Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned, [37.74] Save single-minded slaves of Allah. [37.75] And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer [37.76] And We saved him and his household from the great distress, [37.77] And made his seed the survivors, [37.78] And left for him among the later folk (the salutation): [37.79] Peace be unto Noah among the peoples! [37.80] Lo! thus do We reward the good. [37.81] Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. [37.82] Then We did drown the others. [37.83] And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham [37.84] When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart; [37.85] When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship? [37.86] Is it a falsehood--gods beside Allah--that ye desire? [37.87] What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds? [37.88] And he glanced a glance at the stars [37.89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick! [37.90] And they turned their backs and went away from him [37.91] Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat? [37.92] What aileth you that ye speak not? [37.93] Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. [37.94] And (his people) came toward him, hastening. [37.95] He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve [37.96] When Allah hath created you and what ye make? [37.97] They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red hot fire. [37.98] And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost. [37.99] And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. [37.100] My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous. [37.101] So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. [37.102] 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. [37.103] Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face, [37.104] We called unto him: O Abraham: [37.105] Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good. [37.106] Lo! that verily was a clear test. [37.107] Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim. [37.108] And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation): [37.109] Peace be unto Abraham! [37.110] Thus do We reward the good. [37.111] Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. [37.112] And We gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a Prophet of the righteous. [37.113] And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves. [37.114] And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron, [37.115] And saved them and their people from the great distress, [37.116] And helped them so that they became the victors. [37.117] And We gave them the clear Scripture [37.118] And showed them the right path. [37.119] And We left for them, among the later folk (the salutation): [37.120] Peace be unto Moses and Aaron! [37.121] Lo! thus do We reward the good. [37.122] Lo! they are two of our believing slaves. [37.123] And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn) [37.124] When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)? [37.125] Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the best of Creators, [37.126] Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers? [37.127] But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom) [37.128] Save single-minded slaves of Allah. [37.129] And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation): [37.130] Peace be unto Elias! [37.131] Lo! thus do We reward the good. [37.132] Lo! he is one of our believing slaves. [37.133] And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn), [37.134] When We saved him and his household, every one, [37.135] Save an old woman among those who stayed behind; [37.136] Then We destroyed the others. [37.137] And Lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning [37.138] And at night time; have ye then no sense? [37.139] And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) [37.140] When he fled unto the laden ship, [37.141] And then drew lots and was of those rejected; [37.142] And the fish swallowed him while be was blameworthy; [37.143] And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah) [37.144] He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; [37.145] Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; [37.146] And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; [37.147] And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more [37.148] And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while. [37.149] Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons? [37.150] Or created We the angels females while they were present? [37.151] Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say: [37.152] Allah hath begotten. And lo! verily they tell a lie. [37.153] (And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons [37.154] What aileth you? How judge ye? Ë [37.155] Will ye not then reflect? [37.156] Or have ye a clear warrant? [37.157] Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful. [37.158] And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him). [37.159] Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him), [37.160] Save single-minded slaves of Allah. [37.161] Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship, [37.162] Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him [37.163] Save him who is to burn in hell. [37.164] There is not one of Us but hath his known position. [37.165] Lo! We, even We are they who set the ranks. [37.166] Lo! We, even We are they who hymn His praise [37.167] And indeed they used to say: [37.168] If we had but a reminder from the men of old [37.169] We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. [37.170] Yet (now that it is come) the, disbelieve therein: but they will come to know. [37.171] And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn) [37.172] That they verily would be helped, [37.173] And that Our host, they verily would be the victors. [37.174] So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile, [37.175] And watch, for they will (soon) see. [37.176] Would they hasten on Our doom? [37.177] But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned. Ë [37.178] Withdraw from them awhile [37.179] And watch, for they will (soon) see. [37.180] Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him) [37.181] And peace be unto those sent (to warn). [37.182] And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! |
