Length: 11 mins, 24 secs
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
37:1. By the aligners aligning.
37:2. And the drivers driving.
37:3. And the reciters of the Reminder.
37:4. Your God is indeed One.
37:5. Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; and Lord of the Easts.
37:6. We have adorned the lower heaven with the beauty of the planets.
37:7. And guarded it against every defiant devil.
37:8. They cannot eavesdrop on the Supernal Elite, for they get bombarded from every side.
37:9. Repelled—they will have a lingering torment.
37:10. Except for him who snatches a fragment—he gets pursued by a piercing projectile.
37:11. Inquire of them, “Are they more difficult to create, or the others We created?” We created them from sticky clay.
37:12. But you wonder, and they ridicule.
37:13. And when reminded, they pay no attention.
37:14. And when they see a sign, they ridicule.
37:15. And they say, “This is nothing but plain magic.
37:16. When we have died and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected?
37:17. And our ancestors of old?”
37:18. Say, “Yes indeed, and you will be totally subdued.”
37:19. It will be a single nudge, and they will be staring.
37:20. They will say, “Woe to us. This is the Day of Judgment.”
37:21. “This is the Day of Separation which you used to deny.
37:22. Gather those who did wrong, and their mates, and what they used to worship.
37:23. Besides Allah, and lead them to the way to Hell.
37:24. And stop them. They are to be questioned.”
37:25. What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another?
37:26. In fact, on that Day, they will be submissive.
37:27. They will come to one another, questioning one another.
37:28. They will say, “You used to come at us from the right.”
37:29. They will say, “You yourselves were not believers.
37:30. We had no authority over you. You yourselves were rebellious people.
37:31. The Word of our Lord has been realized against us. We are tasting it.
37:32. We seduced you. We were seducers.”
37:33. On that Day, they will share in the punishment.
37:34. Thus We deal with the sinners.
37:35. When it was said to them, “There is no god except Allah,” they grew arrogant.
37:36. And said, “Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?”
37:37. In fact, he came with the truth, and he confirmed the messengers.
37:38. Most assuredly, you will taste the painful punishment.
37:39. And you will be repaid only for what you used to do.
37:40. Except for Allah’s sincere servants.
37:41. For them is a known provision.
37:42. Fruits; and they will be honored.
37:43. In the Gardens of Bliss.
37:44. On furnishings, facing one another.
37:45. They will be offered a cup of pure drink.
37:46. White; a delight to those who drink.
37:47. Never polluted, and never intoxicating.
37:48. With them will be bashful women with lovely eyes.
37:49. As if they were closely guarded pearls.
37:50. Then they will approach one another, questioning.
37:51. One of them will say, “I used to have a friend.
37:52. Who used to say, “Are you of those who believe?
37:53. That after we die and become dust and bones, we will be called to account?”
37:54. He will say, “Will you have a look?”
37:55. He will look, and will see him in the pit of Hell.
37:56. He will say, “By Allah, you almost ruined me.
37:57. Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among the arraigned.”
37:58. “We will not die.
37:59. Except for our first death, and we will not be punished.”
37:60. This is the supreme triumph.
37:61. For the like of this let the workers work.
37:62. Is this a better hospitality, or the Tree of Bitterness?
37:63. We made it an ordeal for the unjust.
37:64. It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell.
37:65. Its fruits are like the devils’ heads.
37:66. They will eat from it, and fill their bellies with it.
37:67. Then, on top of it, they will have a brew of boiling liquid.
37:68. Then their return will be to the Blaze.
37:69. They had found their parents astray.
37:70. And rushed along in their footsteps.
37:71. And most of the ancients before them went astray.
37:72. Even though We sent messengers to warn them.
37:73. So observe the end of those who were warned.
37:74. Except for the sincere servants of Allah.
37:75. And Noah called out to Us, and We are the Best of responders.
37:76. And We saved him and his family from the great calamity.
37:77. And We made his descendants the survivors.
37:78. And We left mention of him among those who succeeded.
37:79. Peace be upon Noah among all people.
37:80. We thus reward the righteous.
37:81. He was one of Our believing servants.
37:82. Then We drowned the others.
37:83. Of his kind was Abraham.
37:84. When he came to his Lord with a sound heart.
37:85. He said to his father and his people, “What are you worshiping?
37:86 Is it falsified gods, instead of Allah, that you want?
37:87. So what is your opinion about the Lord of the Worlds?”
37:88. Then he took a glance at the stars.
37:89. And said, “I am sick.”
37:90. But they turned their backs on him, and went away.
37:91. Then he turned to their gods, and said, “will you not eat?
37:92. What is it with you, that you do not speak?”
37:93. Then he turned on them, striking with his right hand.
37:94. And they came running towards him.
37:95. He said, “Do you worship what you carve?
37:96. When Allah created you, and what you manufacture?”
37:97. They said, “Build a pyre for him, and throw him into the furnace.”
37:98. They wished him ill, but We made them the losers.
37:99. He said, “I am going towards my Lord, and He will guide me.”
37:100. “My Lord, give me one of the righteous.”
37:101. So We gave him good news of a clement boy.
37:102. Then, when he was old enough to accompany him, he said, “O My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you; see what you think.” He said, “O my Father, do as you are commanded; you will find me, Allah willing, one of the steadfast.”
37:103. Then, when they had submitted, and he put his forehead down.
37:104. We called out to him, “O Abraham!
37:105. You have fulfilled the vision.” Thus We reward the doers of good.
37:106. This was certainly an evident test.
37:107. And We redeemed him with a great sacrifice.
37:108. And We left with him for later generations.
37:109. Peace be upon Abraham.
37:110. Thus We reward the doers of good.
37:111. He was one of Our believing servants.
37:112. And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet, one of the righteous.
37:113. And We blessed him, and Isaac. But among their descendants are some who are righteous, and some who are clearly unjust to themselves.
37:114. And We blessed Moses and Aaron.
37:115. And We delivered them and their people from the terrible disaster.
37:116. And We supported them, and so they were the victors.
37:117. And We gave them the Clarifying Scripture.
37:118. And We guided them upon the straight path.
37:119. And We left with them for later generations.
37:120. Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.
37:121. Thus We reward the righteous.
37:122. They were of Our believing servants.
37:123. Also Elijah was one of the messengers.
37:124. He said to his people, “Do you not fear?
37:125. Do you call on Baal, and forsake the Best of creators?
37:126. Allah is your Lord, and the Lord of your ancestors.”
37:127. But they called him a liar, and thus they will be brought forward.
37:128. Except for Allah’s sincere servants.
37:129. And We left with him for later generations.
37:130. Peace be upon the House of Elijah.
37:131. Thus We reward the virtuous.
37:132. He was one of Our believing servants.
37:133. And Lot was one of the messengers.
37:134. We saved him and his family, all of them.
37:135. Except for an old woman who lagged behind.
37:136. Then We annihilated the others.
37:137. You pass by them in the morning.
37:138. And at night. Do you not understand?
37:139. And Jonah was one of the messengers.
37:140. When he fled to the laden boat.
37:141. He gambled and lost.
37:142. Then the fish swallowed him, and he was to blame.
37:143. Had he not been one of those who praised.
37:144. He would have stayed in its belly until the Day they are raised.
37:145. Then We threw him into the wilderness, and he was sick.
37:146. And We made a gourd tree grow over him.
37:147. Then We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.
37:148. And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
37:149. Ask them, “Are the daughters for your Lord, while for them the sons?”
37:150. Or did We create the angels females, as they witnessed?”
37:151. No indeed! It is one of their lies when they say.
37:152. “Allah has begotten.” They are indeed lying.
37:153. So He preferred girls over boys?
37:154. What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
37:155. Will you not reflect?
37:156. Or do you have some clear proof?
37:157. Then bring your book, if you are telling the truth.
37:158. And they invented a relationship between Him and the jinn. But the jinn know that they will be arraigned.
37:159. Allah be glorified, far above what they allege.
37:160. Except for Allah’s sincere servants.
37:161. Surely, you and what you serve.
37:162. Cannot seduce away from Him.
37:163. Except for he who will be roasting in Hell.
37:164. “There is not one of us but has an assigned position.
37:165. And we are the arrangers.
37:166. And we are the glorifiers.”
37:167. Even though they used to say.
37:168. “Had we received advice from the ancients.
37:169. We would have been Allah’s faithful servants.”
37:170. But they rejected it, so they will find out.
37:171. Our Word has already gone out to our servant messengers.
37:172. It is they who will be supported.
37:173. And Our troops will be the victors.
37:174. So disregard them for a while.
37:175. And watch them—they will soon see.
37:176. Are they seeking to hasten Our punishment?
37:177. When it descends into their yard, miserable will be the morning of those forewarned.
37:178. So avoid them for a while.
37:179. And watch—they will soon see.
37:180. Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, beyond their allegations.
37:181. And peace be upon the messengers.
37:182. And praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
