"The Rangers"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
"37.1": I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
"37.2": Then those who drive away with reproof,
"37.3": Then those who recite, being mindful,
"37.4": Most surely your God is One:
"37.5": The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
"37.6": Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
"37.7": And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
"37.8": They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
"37.9": Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
"37.10": Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
"37.11": Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
"37.12": Nay! you wonder while they mock,
"37.13": And when they are reminded, they mind not,
"37.14": And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
"37.15": And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
"37.16": What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
"37.17": Or our fathers of yore?
"37.18": Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
"37.19": So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
"37.20": And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
"37.21": This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
"37.22": Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
"37.23": Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
"37.24": And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
"37.25": What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
"37.26": Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
"37.27": And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
"37.28": They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
"37.29": They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
"37.30": And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
"37.31": So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;
"37.32": So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
"37.33": So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.
"37.34": Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
"37.35": Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
"37.36": And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?
"37.37": Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.
"37.38": Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
"37.39": And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
"37.40": Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
"37.41": For them is a known sustenance,
"37.42": Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,
"37.43": In gardens of pleasure,
"37.44": On thrones, facing each other.
"37.45": A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,
"37.46": White, delicious to those who drink.
"37.47": There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.
"37.48": And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;
"37.49": As if they were eggs carefully protected.
"37.50": Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.
"37.51": A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,
"37.52": Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?
"37.53": What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?
"37.54": He shall say: Will you look on?
"37.55": Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.
"37.56": He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;
"37.57": And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.
"37.58": Is it then that we are not going to die,
"37.59": Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?
"37.60": Most surely this is the mighty achievement.
"37.61": For the like of this then let the workers work.
"37.62": Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?
"37.63": Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.
"37.64": Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell;
"37.65": Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.
"37.66": Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.
"37.67": Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.
"37.68": Then most surely their return shall be to hell.
"37.69": Surely they found their fathers going astray,
"37.70": So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.
"37.71": And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
"37.72": And certainly We sent among them warners.
"37.73": Then see how was the end of those warned,
"37.74": Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
"37.75": And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.
"37.76": And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.
"37.77": And We made his offspring the survivors.
"37.78": And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
"37.79": Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.
"37.80": Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
"37.81": Surely he was of Our believing servants.
"37.82": Then We drowned the others
"37.83": And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.
"37.84": When he came to his Lord with a free heart,
"37.85": When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship?
"37.86": A lie -- gods besides Allah -- do you desire?
"37.87": What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
"37.88": Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,
"37.89": Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshiping these).
"37.90": So they went away from him, turning back.
"37.91": Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?
"37.92": What is the matter with you that you do not speak?
"37.93": Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.
"37.94": So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.
"37.95": Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?
"37.96": And Allah has created you and what you make.
"37.97": They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
"37.98": And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
"37.99": And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
"37.100": My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
"37.101": So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
"37.102": And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
"37.103": So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
"37.104": And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
"37.105": You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
"37.106": Most surely this is a manifest trial.
"37.107": And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
"37.108": And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
"37.109": Peace be on Ibrahim.
"37.110": Thus do We reward the doers of good.
"37.111": Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
"37.112": And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
"37.113": And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
"37.114": And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
"37.115": And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
"37.116": And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
"37.117": And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
"37.118": And We guided them both on the right way.
"37.119": And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
"37.120": Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
"37.121": Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
"37.122": Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
"37.123": And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
"37.124": When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
"37.125": What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
"37.126": Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
"37.127": But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
"37.128": But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
"37.129": And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
"37.130": Peace be on Ilyas.
"37.131": Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
"37.132": Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
"37.133": And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
"37.134": When We delivered him and his followers, all --
"37.135": Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
"37.136": Then We destroyed the others.
"37.137": And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
"37.138": And at night; do you not then understand?
"37.139": And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
"37.140": When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
"37.141": So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
"37.142": So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
"37.143": But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
"37.144": He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
"37.145": Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
"37.146": And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
"37.147": And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
"37.148": And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
"37.149": Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
"37.150": Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
"37.151": Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
"37.152": Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
"37.153": Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
"37.154": What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
"37.155": Will you not then mind?
"37.156": Or have you a clear authority?
"37.157": Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
"37.158": And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
"37.159": Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
"37.160": But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
"37.161": So surely you and what you worship,
"37.162": Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
"37.163": Save him who will go to hell.
"37.164": And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
"37.165": And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
"37.166": And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
"37.167": And surely they used to say:
"37.168": Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"37.169": We would certainly have been the servants of Allah -- the purified ones.
"37.170": But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
"37.171": And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
"37.172": Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
"37.173": And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
"37.174": Therefore turn away from them till a time,
"37.175": And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
"37.176": What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
"37.177": But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
"37.178": And turn away from them till a time
"37.179": And (then) see, for they too shall see.
"37.180": Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
"37.181": And peace be on the apostles.
"37.182": And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
