[37.1] By the aligners (angels) aligning. [37.2] and the drivers driving, [37.3] and those who recite the Remembrance [37.4] surely, your God is One, [37.5] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them; the Lord of the Easts. [37.6] We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets, [37.7] a protection against every rebel satan; [37.8] so they cannot listen to the High Assembly, for they are pelted from every side. [37.9] They are rejected and theirs is an everlasting punishment; [37.10] except such as snatches a fragment, and he is pursued by a piercing flame. [37.11] So ask them, are they stronger in constitution, or those whom We have created. We have created them of sticky clay. [37.12] No, you marvel, while they scoff. [37.13] When they are reminded, they do not remember. [37.14] When they are shown a sign, they scoff at it [37.15] and say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery!' [37.16] What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected. [37.17] What, and our forefathers, the ancients!' [37.18] Say: 'Yes, but worthless.' [37.19] It will be but one Shout, then see, they are watching [37.20] and they will say: 'Woe for us. This is the Day of Recompense.' [37.21] This is the Day of Decision which you belied. [37.22] Gather together the evildoers, their wives, and that they were worshipping, [37.23] other than Allah, and guide them to the Path of Hell! [37.24] And halt them so that they may be questioned. [37.25] 'Why do you not help one another? [37.26] No, today they will resign themselves in submission, [37.27] and approach each other with questions, [37.28] saying: 'You used to come to us from the right hand.' [37.29] But they reply: 'Rather, you were not believers. [37.30] We had no authority over you, but you were an insolent nation. [37.31] The statement of Our Lord is realized against us, and we are tasting it, [37.32] we perverted you, indeed, we were perverts.' [37.33] Therefore, on that Day they will all share Our punishment. [37.34] As such We shall deal with the evildoers. [37.35] For when it was said to them: 'There is no god except Allah,' they were always proud [37.36] and said: 'Are we to renounce our gods for the sake of a mad poet?' [37.37] No, indeed, he has brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers. [37.38] You shall certainly taste the painful punishment: [37.39] but you shall not be recompensed except for what you were doing. [37.40] But for the sincere worshipers of Allah, [37.41] there is waiting for them a known provision; [37.42] fruits. And they are receivers of generosity [37.43] in the Gardens of Delight, [37.44] sitting face to face upon couches, [37.45] a goblet from a spring shall be passed round to them [37.46] white, a delight to the drinkers, [37.47] there is neither sickness in it, nor intoxication. [37.48] And with them will be maidens (houris) who restrain their wide glances [37.49] as if they were hidden pearls. [37.50] They will go to one another asking each other questions. [37.51] One of them will say: 'I had a companion [37.52] who would say: "Are you among the believers (of the resurrection)? [37.53] When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be recompensed?" [37.54] And he will reply: 'Are you looking down (into Hell)?' [37.55] Then, he will look and see him in the midst of Hell. [37.56] 'By Allah,' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me! [37.57] But for the Favor of Allah I should have surely been among those who were arraigned (with you in Hell). [37.58] What then, shall we not die [37.59] except our first death, and shall we not be punished?' [37.60] Indeed, this is the mighty victory, [37.61] and for the like of this let the workers work. [37.62] Is this a better hospitality or the tree of Az-Zakkum! [37.63] We have made this (tree) a trial for the evildoers. [37.64] It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell; [37.65] its spathes are like the heads of satans [37.66] on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies. [37.67] On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water, [37.68] then their return is to Hell. [37.69] They found their fathers in error, [37.70] yet they run in their footsteps, [37.71] yet before them most of the ancients went astray, [37.72] though We had sent among them warners. [37.73] See then the end of those who were warned, [37.74] except the sincere worshipers of Allah. [37.75] Noah called to Us, and We are the Best to answer. [37.76] We saved him and his people from the great distress, [37.77] and We made his offspring the survivors. [37.78] And We let it remain upon him in the latter: [37.79] 'Peace be upon Noah among all the worlds.' [37.80] As such We recompense the good-doers, [37.81] he was one of Our believing worshipers. [37.82] Afterwards We drowned the others. [37.83] Of his party was Abraham. [37.84] (Remember when) he came to his Lord with a pure heart; [37.85] and when he said to his father and to his nation: 'What do you worship? [37.86] It is falsehood that you desire gods other than Allah! [37.87] What do you think of the Lord of the Worlds?' [37.88] He cast a glance at the stars [37.89] and said: 'Surely, I am sick (of what you worship)!' [37.90] But they turned their backs and went away from him. [37.91] Then he turned to their gods, and said: 'What do you eat? [37.92] What is the matter with you, that you do not speak?' [37.93] And he turned upon them striking them with the right hand. [37.94] Thereafter they (the people) came to him in haste. [37.95] He said: 'Do you worship what you, yourselves have carved [37.96] when it is Allah who created you and all that you do?' [37.97] They replied: 'Build for him a building and cast him into the fire.' [37.98] Their desire was to outwit him, but We made them to be the humiliated. [37.99] He said: 'I will go to my Lord; He will guide me. [37.100] My Lord, grant me a righteous (son).' [37.101] And We gave him the glad tidings of a very gentle son (Ishmael). [37.102] And when he reached the age of traveling with him, he said: 'My son, while I was sleeping I saw that I shall slaughter (sacrifice) you, tell me what is your opinion.' He replied: 'Father, do as you are ordered (by Allah). Allah willing, you shall find me one of those who are steadfast.' [37.103] And when they had both submitted, and his son had laid down prostrate upon his forehead, [37.104] We called to him, saying: 'O Abraham, [37.105] you have confirmed your vision.' As such We recompense the good-doers. [37.106] That was indeed a clear trial. [37.107] So, We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice, [37.108] and We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations), [37.109] 'Peace be upon Abraham!' [37.110] As such We recompense the good-doers. [37.111] He was one of Our believing worshipers. [37.112] Then, We gave him the glad tidings of Isaac, a Prophet, one of the righteous, [37.113] and We blessed him and Isaac, and from their offspring are some good-doers, and others who clearly wronged themselves. [37.114] We also favored Moses and Aaron [37.115] and We saved them with their nation from a great distress. [37.116] We helped them, and they became victorious, [37.117] and We gave them the Clear Book, [37.118] and guided them upon the Straight Path. [37.119] And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon on both of them in the latter (generations), [37.120] 'Peace be upon Moses and Aaron!' [37.121] As such We recompense the good-doers. [37.122] They were among Our believing worshipers. [37.123] And Elias (El Yaseen) was among the Messengers. [37.124] He asked his people: 'Do you not fear (Allah)? [37.125] Do you call on Ba'lan (the idol Baal) and abandon the Best Creator, [37.126] Allah is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.' [37.127] But they belied him, so they will be among the arraigned (in Hell), [37.128] except the sincere worshipers of Allah. [37.129] And We let it (the beautiful praise) remain upon him in the latter (generations), [37.130] 'Peace be upon El Yaseen!' [37.131] As such We recompense the good-doers. [37.132] He was among Our believing worshipers. [37.133] Lot, too, was among the Messengers. [37.134] We saved him and all his kinsmen, [37.135] except an old woman who lingered, [37.136] and We destroyed the others. [37.137] You pass by them in the morning [37.138] and at night, will you not understand? [37.139] Jonah, too, was one of the Messengers. [37.140] He ran away to the laden ship, [37.141] and cast lots, and he was among the losers (of the lots that were cast). [37.142] So the whale swallowed him, for he was blameworthy, [37.143] and had he not been among those who exalt (Allah), [37.144] he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are resurrected. [37.145] But We cast him, upon the shore, and he was ill, [37.146] and We caused a pumpkin tree to grow over him. [37.147] Then We sent him to a hundred thousand or more, [37.148] and they believed, and We gave them enjoyment for awhile. [37.149] Now, ask them, has your Lord daughters, and they sons? [37.150] Or, did We create the angels females while they were witnessing? [37.151] Then is it of their lying that they say: [37.152] 'Allah has begotten?' They are truly liars. [37.153] Has He chosen daughters above sons? [37.154] What is the matter with you? How do you judge? [37.155] What, will you not remember? [37.156] Or, do you have a clear authority? [37.157] Bring your Book, if what you say is true! [37.158] They assert kinship between Him and the angels. But the angels know that they (the liars) will be arraigned (in Hell). [37.159] Exaltations to Allah above what they describe, [37.160] except for the sincere worshipers of Allah. [37.161] But as for you, and that you worship, [37.162] you shall tempt none against Him [37.163] except for he who shall roast in Hell. [37.164] (Gabriel said to the Prophet): 'Each of us has a known place. [37.165] We are surely those who are arranged in ranks. [37.166] And we are they who exalt (Allah).' [37.167] What, would they then say: [37.168] 'If only we had a reminder from the ancients, [37.169] we would have been sincere worshipers of Allah.' [37.170] But they disbelieve in it (the Koran), but soon they shall know! [37.171] Our Word had already preceded Our worshipers, the Messengers, [37.172] that they shall receive Our help [37.173] and Our armies shall be the victors. [37.174] So turn (away) from them for a while. [37.175] See them and soon they shall see. [37.176] What, do they seek to hasten Our punishment? [37.177] When it descends upon their courtyards, evil will be the morning of those forewarned. [37.178] So turn (away) from them for a while, [37.179] and see, soon they shall see! [37.180] Exaltations be to your Lord, the Lord of Might, above that they describe! [37.181] Peace be on the Messengers. [37.182] And praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. |
