Surat As – Saffat

(Surah No. 37)

Ayat 1-182

37:1

By those [angels] lined up in rows​​ (1).

By The Angles lined up in rows like the Muslims lined up in rows for Salawat in Mosques.​​ 37:2

And those who drive [the clouds]​​ (2).

And those Angles which Drive the Clouds in the Skies.

37:3

And those who recite the message​​ (3),

And those Angles which Recite the Glorious Qur’an.

37:4

Indeed, your God is One​​ (4).

Truly & Factually, Your Allah (SWT) Is One Creator.

​​ 37:5

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises​​ (5).

Allah (SWT) Sovereign % Superior​​ of heavens & earth, and whatever is in-between & Sovereign of the​​ Sunrises.

37:6

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars​​ (6).

Evidently, We (SWT)​​ Decorated​​ the​​ nearest heavens​​ to humankind with​​ ornamentation of stars.

37:7

And as protection against every rebellious devil​​ (7).

And​​ as security &​​ defense against​​ every​​ defiant disobedient​​ Shaytan.

37:8

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side​​ (8),

Hence, they​​ might​​ not​​ listen​​ or hear the Exalted​​ Assembly of Angles and​​ are​​ thrown & ejected​​ from every side.

37:9

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment​​ (9).

Rejected​​ & Refused​​ & they shall​​ get continuous​​ retribution​​ & penalization.

37:10

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]​​ (10).

Excluding​​ a Shaytan who​​ embezzled some words​​ through theft.​​ Nonetheless, they​​ are​​ tracked by​​ a penetrating​​ burning flame.

37:11

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​​ (11).

Hence,​​ inquire from them Oh Muhammad (SAAS),​​ Are​​ the​​ human​​ blasphemous disbelievers​​ stronger​​ creation​​ than what We (SWT) Have Created​​ through​​ the​​ likes of​​ ​​ the​​ Heavens & Earth.​​ We (SWT)​​ Have​​ Truly ​​ Created​​ Humankind​​ from adhesive​​ clay.

37:12

But you wonder, while they mock​​ (12).

However, You Prophet Muhammad (SAAS)​​ admire, while​​ they make fun.​​ 37:13

And when they are reminded, they remember not​​ (13).

And​​ upon being​​ prompted​​ & reminded​​ of the​​ Glorious Qur’an​​ Ayat​​ &​​ the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad (SAAS), they fail to remember.

37:14

And when they see a sign, they ridicule​​ (14).

And​​ upon observing a​​ Miracle​​ through the hands of Prophet Muhammad (SAAS)​​ they​​ mock & ridicule.

37:15

And say, “This is not but obvious magic​​ (15).

And say, “This is​​ evident​​ & clear​​ witchcraft,

37:16

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?​​ (16).

The blasphemous disbelievers,​​ would say “​​ when we are dead​​ becoming dust & bones, will we be​​ resurrected? (16).​​ 37:17

And our forefathers [as well]?”(17).

Along with our​​ forefathers ?

37:18

Say, “Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible”​​ (18),

Tell them Oh​​ Prophet & Messenger​​ of Allah (SWT)​​ all shall be rendered despicable &​​ despised.

37:19

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing​​ (19).

Thus​​ Resurrection Shall Be​​ A Single Shout​​ from Angle Israfil Blowing​​ into the​​ Horn​​ of the Hereafter​​ &​​ the​​ disbelievers​​ will observe what is​​ about to befall them.

37:20

They will say, “O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense”​​ (20).

On Resurrection Day, the blasphemous​​ disbelievers shall​​ shout​​ “woe” distress &​​ despondency​​ to us. This​​ is​​ Penalty​​ Day.

​​ 37:21

[They will be told], “This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny”​​ (21).

They will be​​ told, “This​​ is​​ Judgment Day, which you​​ blasphemous disbelievers used​​ to​​ disbelieve &​​ repudiate.

37:22

[The angels will be ordered], “Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship​​ (22).

The Angles Shall​​ Be Commanded:​​ “Assemble​​ those who​​ perpetuated​​ unjust acts, their​​ likes​​ & what they used to worship.

37:23

Other than​​ Allah ​​ and​​ guide them to the path of Hellfire​​ (23).

Those​​ humankind who worshipped​​ other than Allah (SWT), they shall be commanded​​ to​​ follow the​​ Hellfire​​ path.​​ 37:24

And stop them;​​ “​​ indeed, they are to be questioned”​​ (24).

And halt them,​​ “evidently,​​ they are to be​​ interrogated”.

37:25

[They will be asked], “What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?”​​ (25).

The​​ Angles will​​ ask, “What​​ is​​ at fault​​ ? Why​​ are you not helping​​ each other, like​​ when you did in your​​ worldly​​ lifetime?​​ 37:26

But they, that Day, are in surrender​​ (26).

However, On​​ Resurrection Day​​ they are in​​ utter​​ surrender.

37:27

And they will approach one another blaming each other​​ (27).

And the​​ leaders & followers​​ approach​​ each other​​ in​​ argument​​ ​​ & blaming​​ each other​​ in questioning.

37:28

They will say, “Indeed, you used to come at us from the right”​​ (28).

They said, “Evidently,​​ you used​​ to approach us from the right side claiming​​ that​​ Religion & Truth​​ is​​ what​​ you​​ used to​​ delude​​ & deceive us​​ with.

37:29

The oppressors will say, “Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers​​ (29).

The​​ enslaved will say, However, it was you yourselves who​​ were blasphemous nonbelievers.

37:30

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people​​ (30).

And​​ we believers in​​ Allah (SWT)​​ had no​​ authority & power​​ over your​​ actions, since you were​​ disobedient​​ people.

37:31

So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]​​ (31).

Thus the Word of Allah​​ (SWT)​​ Has​​ Arrived,​​ &​​ evidently,​​ we​​ shall​​ undergo punishment.

37:32

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators”(32).

And​​ the blasphemous disbelievers​​ shall say​​ we​​ invited you,​​ causing​​ you​​ to​​ deviate​​ from the straight path​​ of Allah (SWT).

37:33

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment​​ (33).

Thus on that​​ day,​​ Punishment​​ will be shared​​ between those who​​ follow​​ & those​​ who are to be​​ followed​​ from the blasphemous​​ disbelievers.​​ 37:34

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals​​ (34).

Evidently,​​ that​​ is the​​ way​​ We (SWT)​​ Treat the blasphemous​​ disbelieving criminals.

37:35

Indeed they, when it was said to them, “There is no deity but Allah ,” were arrogant​​ (35).

Truly​​ when​​ they were told that there​​ is no​​ god but Allah (SWT)​​ they become arrogant &​​ conceited.

37:36

And were saying, “Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?”(36).

And they​​ would say,​​ “Do we​​ desert &​​ forsake our gods​​ to​​ crazy poet?”

37:37

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers​​ (37).

In fact this Prophet [Muhammad​​ (SAAS)] has a​​ been​​ Selected by Allah (SWT) to​​ Reveal​​ the Glorious Qur’an to Muslims,​​ hence​​ confirming the ​​ religions​​ & messengers​​ previous to him.

37:38

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment.​​ (38)

You blasphemous disbelievers shall​​ be the​​ tasters of the​​ excruciating​​ painful​​ chastisement.

37:39

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do​​ (39).

And you​​ blasphemous disbelievers​​ shall not be​​ awarded​​ except for what they used to​​ perpetrate.

37:40

But not the chosen servants of Allah​​ ​​ (40).

However, excluding the​​ sincere​​ Servants​​ of Allah (SWT).

37:41

Those will have a provision determined​​ (41).

The sincere​​ Servants of Allah (SWT), however,​​ shall have​​ determined sustenance.​​ 37:42

Fruits:​​ and they will be honored​​ (42).

Provided with​​ fruits,​​ the​​ Servants of Allah (SWT), shall be​​ extolled.

​​ 37:43

In gardens of pleasure​​ (43).

The Servants​​ of Allah​​ (SWT)​​ in the​​ Hereafter will​​ be​​ entered into​​ gardens of​​ pleasure.37:44

On thrones facing one another​​ (44).

Each of them resting​​ comfortably, facing each other.

​​ 37:45

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring​​ (45),

The​​ Angles of Jannat​​ ul Naeem,​​ will​​ circulate​​ amongst​​ them cups of wine​​ flowing from a spring.

37:46

White and delicious to the drinkers​​ (46).

The Paradise Wine​​ is colorless & delicious to the drinkers.

 

37:47

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated​​ (47).

For those drinking Jannat Wine, there is no bad effect on the​​ drinkers, nor will they be​​ drunken​​ or​​ poisoned.

 

37:48

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes​​ (48).

And​​ accompanying them will be​​ females with​​ large, beautiful​​ eyes, limiting​​ their glances.

37:49

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected​​ (49).

Similar​​ in appearance to delicate eggs​​ highly protected.

37:50

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other​​ (50).

And they approached​​ each other, questioning each other.

37:51

A speaker among them will say, “Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]​​ (51).

A speaker amongst them said, “Actually, I had​​ a disbelieving acquaintance​​ (on earth)​​ who was a​​ disbeliever​​ in resurrection.​​ 

37:52

Who would say, ‘Are you indeed of those who believe​​ (52).

The non-believer in​​ resurrection, says, “Are you truly​​ amongst those who​​ are believers in Allah​​ (SWT)​​ & Prophet Muhammad​​ (SAAS)​​ ?

37:53

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'”(53).

Upon​​ our death and having become​​ dust & bones,​​ will​​ we truly be​​ rewarded​​ ?

37:54

He will say, “Would you [care to] look?”​​ (54).

The​​ believer​​ in Allah (SWT), the Glorious Qur’an & Prophet Muhammad​​ (SAAS)​​ shall say​​ “Have a Look,​​ pointing at his disbelieving​​ acquaintance”​​ 

37:55

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire​​ (55).

On Resurrection Day,​​ the​​ Believing​​ Muslim​​ will look at the Hellfire & its​​ occupants,​​ only to see his​​ (previous​​ disbelieving acquaintance​​ being tormented​​ in​​ its Flames​​ of the Hellfire).

37:56

He will say, “By Allah , you almost ruined me​​ (56).

The Believing Muslim​​ will say​​ to the nonbeliever,​​ By the Grace & Mercy of Allah (SWT)​​ you​​ might have led me to​​ fall into the Hellfire.

37:57

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]​​ (57).

And had it not been​​ for​​ the Blessing of Allah (SWT), I would have been amongst those​​ entering the Hellfire.

37:58

Then, are we not to die​​ ?

Thus, do​​ we believers in Allah (SWT)​​ will not die ?​​ 

37:59

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?”​​ (59).

Apart from our​​ original​​ death​​ & we shall not be​​ tormented.

37:60

Indeed, this is the great attainment​​ (60).

Truly, this is the​​ ultimate​​ success.

37:61

For this​​ reason​​ let the workers [on earth] work​​ (61).

For the likes of​​ this type of work​​ let the​​ Muslim Believers​​ in their worldly lifetime​​ aspire.

37:62

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum?​​ (62).

Is Jannat-ul-Naeem​​ a better​​ habitation​​ or the tree of​​ ​​ Zaqqum​​ (A Cursed tree​​ Rooted​​ in​​ the center of​​ Hell)​​ ?​​ Therefore​​ for this​​ successful​​ ​​ transaction​​ Muslim Believers​​ should​​ strive​​ towards.

​​ 37:63

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers​​ (63).

Factually, We (SWT) have​​ made it “agonizing​​ &​​ miserable”​​ for the​​ unjust​​ &​​ aberrant.

37:64

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

Truly, it is a tree​​ generating​​ from the​​ lowest part​​ of the Hellfire.

37:65

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils​​ (65).

The​​ tree of ​​ Zaqqum​​ bears fruits similar​​ to the heads of the​​ devils.

37:66

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

Actually, they shall eat​​ from​​ the Zaqqum​​ tree, thus filling their stomachs.

37:67

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water​​ (67).

Afterwards, they​​ shall receive a​​ mixture of scalding water.

37:68

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire​​ (68).

Subsequently,​​ they will return to​​ the Hellfire.

37:69

Indeed they found their fathers astray​​ (69).

Actually, they found​​ their fathers​​ aberrant.

37:70

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps​​ (70).

Hence, they​​ expedite​​ to follow​​ their father’s footsteps.

37:71

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

And before these​​ peoples many​​ went astray​​ being​​ misguided​​ & deluded.

​​ 37:72

And We had already sent among them​​ Warners​​ (72).

And​​ We (SWT) Had​​ already Delivered​​ to them Warners.

37:73

Then look how was the end of those who were warned​​ (73).

Thus,​​ Observe Oh Muhammad (SAAS)​​ how​​ those who were​​ warned ended up​​ after​​ their warning.

37:74

But not the chosen servants of Allah​​ (74).

However, not those​​ sincere​​ servants of Allah (SWT).

​​ 37:75

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders​​ (75).

And​​ Prophet Nooh​​ Supplicated to Us (SWT)​​ & We​​ (SWT)​​ Are​​ the Best​​ Of Responders.

 

 

 

​​ 37:76

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction​​ (76).

And We (SWT)​​ Saved​​ Prophet​​ Nooh from​​ the great​​ calamity & disaster.

37:77

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]​​ (77).

And We​​ (SWT)​​ Decided​​ that Prophet​​ Nooh’s​​ offspring remain on the​​ earth.

37:78

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations​​ (78).

And We (SWT)​​ left​​ for Prophet Nooh​​ appreciative mention​​ amongst later generations.

37:79

“Peace upon Noah among the worlds”​​ (79).

Peace​​ Be Upon Prophet​​ ​​ Nooh​​ in​​ this world & in​​ the Hereafter.

37:80

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good​​ (80).

Truly​​ thus,​​ We (SWT)​​ Reward the Perpetrators of​​ Righteous Deeds.

37:81

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants​​ (81).

Evidently, Prophet Nooh was amongst​​ Our Believing Servants.

 

37:82

Then we drowned the others [i.e., disbelievers]​​ (82).

Prophet Nooh was saved from the​​ Drowning​​ Arch while​​ the accompanying disbelievers​​ drowned.

37:83

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham​​ (83),

And​​ verily, amongst Prophet Nooh’s​​ lineage​​ is Prophet Ibraheem’s​​ Pedigree.​​ 37:84

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart​​ (84).

Prophet Ibraheem​​ came to Allah (SWT)​​ with a​​ Sound​​ Heart​​ Believing​​ in​​ Him (SWT)​​ & Submitting​​ To​​ His Mercy​​ & Grace.

37:85

[And] when he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?​​ (85).

When​​ Prophet Ibraheem questioned his father​​ &​​ his people, “What is it that you are worshiping”​​ ?

37:86

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire?(86).

Do​​ you​​ desire​​ false​​ deities​​ other than​​ Allah (SWT)​​ ?

 

​​ 

 

37:87

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?”​​ (87).

However,​​ what​​ is​​ your conception​​ of Allah (SWT)​​ Creator of the Heavens & Earth​​ and All Humankind​​ ?

37:88

And he cast a look at the stars​​ (88).

And thus Prophet Ibraheem​​ glimpsed at the stars.

37:89

And said, “Indeed, I am [about to be] ill.”(89).

And​​ Prophet Ibraheem said, “Verily, I am​​ sick”.​​ 37:90

So they turned away from him, departing​​ (90).

Thus​​ they​​ turned their backs to Prophet Ibraheem​​ &​​ left​​ Him with their​​ Idol.

37:91

Then he turned to their gods and said, “Do you not eat?​​ (91).

Prophet Ibraheem​​ hence​​ faced the gods​​ of the blasphemous nonbelievers​​ saying,​​ “will you not eat ?”.

37:92

 

 

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?”​​ (92).

Prophet Ibraheem​​ further said, “What is​​ erroneous,​​ why do you not speak”?

37:93

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand​​ (93).

And hence Prophet​​ Ibraheem​​ gave​​ the idols​​ a​​ beating with his right​​ hand.

37:94

Then the people came toward him, hastening​​ (94).

Thereafter,​​ the​​ idol​​ worshippers came to Prophet​​ Ibraheem​​ speeding after knowing​​ what he​​ had​​ ​​ done​​ to them.

37:95

He said, “Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve​​ (95),

Prophet​​ Ibraheem​​ questioned the idol worshippers, “Do​​ you engrave what​​ you worship?”

37:96

While Allah created you and that which you do?”(96).

Whilst​​ Allah (SWT) Created​​ humankind​​ & whatever they perpetrate.

37:97

They said, “Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire.”(97).

The​​ idol worshippers​​ said, “​​ Construct​​ for Prophet Ibraheem​​ a stove​​ &​​ cast​​ him into the​​ raging​​ fire.

37:98

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased​​ (98).

And having planned for him​​ a humiliation, We (SWT)​​ Made​​ them​​ a​​ disgrace.​​ And​​ the fire which​​ they had intended​​ for Prophet Ibraheem​​ became Peace & Tranquil for him.​​ 37:99

And [then] he said, “Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me​​ (99).

Prophet Ibraheem​​ late said, “Verily, I shall​​ go to wherever Allah (SWT)​​ Will Guide me.

37:100

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous”​​ (100).

Oh Allah (SWT)​​ endow​​ me with an infant​​ from amongst the righteous.

37:101

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy​​ (101).

Hence, We (SWT) Gave Prophet Ibraheem​​ glad tidings of​​ ​​ a​​ tolerant​​ forbearing​​ male child.

37:102

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 (102).

And upon reaching​​ with His son the age of​​ endeavor &​​ effort,​​ Prophet Ibraheem​​ told his son, Oh​​ my son, I have​​ indeed​​ seen a dream in which​​ I​​ offer you​​ as a ritual slaughter, thus,​​ see what you​​ feel & think.​​ His son replied,​​ “ Oh​​ Father,​​ implement what you are Commanded​​ By Allah (SWT)​​ & you shall find me​​ with the Grace & Mercy of Allah (SWT)​​ amongst​​ the​​ sincere,​​ committed &​​ faithful.

​​ 37:103

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead​​ (103),

And upon​​ Both​​ Had​​ Submitted​​ to the​​ Supreme & One​​ & Only​​ Allah (SWT),​​ &​​ His​​ Command,​​ Prophet Ibraheem​​ asked​​ his​​ son to face​​ down his​​ forehead​​ so that​​ He​​ would not observe​​ His son’s expressions on his​​ face​​ upon​​ performing​​ the be-heading.

37:104

We called to him, “O Abraham​​ (104).

We (SWT)​​ Called upon Prophet Ibraheem.

37:105

You have fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good​​ (105).

Allah (SWT) Called Upon Prophet Ibraheem,​​ “ Truly,​​ you have​​ realized​​ the​​ Vision, & We (SWT)​​ Ultimately,​​ Reward the Righteous.

37:106

Indeed, this was the clear trial​​ (106).

Factually,​​ this​​ is​​ a​​ clear trial.​​ 37:107

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,(107).

And We​​ (SWT)​​ Readapted​​ the son of Prophet Ibraheem​​ with​​ a​​ Slaughter​​ sheep.

37:108

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:(108).

And We (SWT)​​ left for Prophet​​ Ibraheem​​ amongst later generations​​ satisfactory mention.

37:109

“Peace upon Abraham.”​​ (109).

Peace Be Upon Prophet​​ Ibraheem.

37:110

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good​​ (110).

Truly, We​​ (SWT) Thus Reward the Righteous​​ humankind.

37:111

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants​​ (111).

Factually, Prophet Ibraheem was​​ amongst our​​ Believing Servants.

37:112

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous​​ (112).

And We (SWT)​​ Granted​​ Prophet Ibraheem​​ Gland Tidings​​ of Prophet Ishaaq, A Righteous​​ Prophet.​​ 37:113

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself​​ (113).

And We (SWT) Blessed​​ Prophet​​ Ibraheem & Prophet Ishaaq. However,​​ 

37:114

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron​​ (114).

And We (SWT)​​ Surely​​ conferred​​ favors​​ on Prophet​​ Mousa &​​ His Brother​​ Prophet Haroun.

37:115

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction​​ (115)

And We (SWT) Saved them and their people from​​ untold calamity & disaster.

37:116

And We supported​​ them,​​ so it was they who overcame​​ (116).

And We (SWT)​​ Upheld them, hence​​ it was they who​​ prevailed.

37:117

And We gave them the explicit Scripture​​ (117),

And We (SWT)​​ Granted them the​​ Outright​​ Taura.

 

37:118

And We guided them on the straight path​​ (118).

And We (SWT)​​ Guided​​ Both Prophets Mousa & Haroun​​ to​​ the​​ Straight​​ Path, to Islam.

37:119

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations​​ (119).

And​​ .We (SWT) left for​​ both Prophets​​ Adequate​​ mention amongst later​​ generations.

37:120

Peace upon Moses and Aaron​​ (120).

Peace​​ Be Upon Prophets Mousa & Haroun.

37:121

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good​​ (121).

Evidently,​​ We (SWT)​​ thus Reward the Righteous humankind.

37:122

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants​​ (122).

Truly, Both Prophets​​ are amongst Our Believing​​ Servants.​​ 37:123

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,​​ (123).

And​​ verily, Prophet Elias​​ was amongst the Messengers of Allah (SWT).

 

 

37:124

When he said to his people, “Will you not fear Allah ?​​ (124).

Upon questioning his people & followers​​ he said, “ Will you not​​ Believe in​​ & Fear​​ Allah (SWT)” ?

37:125

Do you call upon Ba’l and leave the best of creators​​ ​​ (125)-

Prophet Elias​​ questioned​​ his people &​​ followers;​​ is this Idol you call Ba’l​​ better than​​ the​​ Allah (SWT). The Best​​ of​​ Creators.

37:126

Allah , your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?”​​ (126).

Allah (SWT)​​ Is Your​​ Creator & the Creator of your forefathers​​ before.

37:127

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],(127).

And​​ they rejected​​ &​​ refused​​ Prophet Elias, thus they​​ shall​​ be​​ guided to​​ retribution.

​​ ​​ 37:128

Except the chosen servants of Allah​​ (128).

Apart from​​ the true & sincere​​ Servants​​ of Allah​​ (SWT).

37:129

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations​​ (129).

And We (SWT)​​ Granted Prophet​​ Elias​​ satisfactory mention amongst​​ later generations.

37:130

Peace​​ be​​ upon Elias​​ (130).

Peace be upon Prophet Elias & his followers.

37:131

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good​​ (131).

Factually, We (SWT)​​ thus Reward​​ the righteous.

37:132

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants​​ (132).

Truly, Prophet Elias was amongst Our​​ Believing Servants.

37:133

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers​​ (133).

And evidently, Prophet​​ Lout was amongst Our Messengers.

37:134

So,​​ We saved him and his family, all,​​ (134).

Upon which We (SWT) Saved​​ Prophet Lout & all​​ his family.

37:135

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]​​ (136).

Excluding​​ Prophet Lout’s wife​​ who remained​​ with the unjust & aberrant.

 

37:136

Then We destroyed the others​​ (136).

Subsequently, We (SWT)​​ Demolished the others.

37:137

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning​​ (137).

Allah (SWT) calls upon the Residents of Makkah​​ to pass by​​ their​​ homes​​ in the morning​​ to see their torment.​​ 

37:138

And at night. Then will you not use reason?​​ (138).

And at​​ night,​​ upon returning back from Al​​ Sham,​​ do​​ you​​ not​​ observe​​ Allah (SWT)’s​​ punishment &​​ retribution, have you no reasoning​​ ?​​ 

37:139

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers​​ (139).

And​​ verily,​​ Prophet Younis​​ was amongst Allah (SWT)’s Messengers.

37:140​​ When he ran away to the laden ship​​ (140).

Who​​ speeded away​​ to the laden ship.

37:141

And he drew lots and was among the losers​​ (141).

And Prophet​​ Younis drew lottery​​ amongst the ship passengers​​ & he was a loser.​​ Thus, they threw him​​ with others​​ overboard​​ to keep the ship​​ afloat.

 

37:142

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy​​ (142).

The Whale approached​​ Prophet Younis &​​ swallowed​​ him while​​ he was at​​ fault​​ and was to​​ be blamed.

37:143

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah​​ (143).

And had Prophet​​ Younis not​​ been​​ amongst those​​ who glorified &​​ exalted Allah (SWT),​​ 

37:144

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected​​ (144).

Prophet Younis would have​​ prevailed​​ inside the​​ whale’s​​ stomach until​​ Resurrection​​ Day.

37:145

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected​​ (145).

Allah (SWT) Commanded the​​ whale​​ to​​ throw​​ out Prophet Younis​​ from its​​ belly​​ sick​​ &​​ suffering.

37:146

And We caused to grow​​ over​​ him a gourd vine​​ (146).

And​​ We (SWT)​​ generated​​ over him​​ a “gourd​​ vine”.

 

 

37:147

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more​​ (147).

And We (SWT)​​ Delivered​​ Prophet Younis​​ to his people​​ were​​ he​​ was a messenger​​ in​​ Mousel​​ (Iraq)​​ before his ordeal​​ with the whale at sea.

​​ 37:148

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time​​ (148).

And his people​​ believed in Prophet Younis​​ & We (SWT)​​ granted them​​ comfort​​ & pleasure for​​ a given period.

37:149

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], “Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?​​ (149).

Thus​​ Oh Muhammad (SAAS)​​ inquire​​ from them, “Does Allah (SWT)​​ Beget​​ female humankind, while​​ they​​ as​​ humankind​​ only​​ beget males​​ ?

​​ 37:150

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?”​​ (150).

Or​​ Had We​​ (SWT) Created the Angles​​ as females​​ while humankind​​ were​​ witnesses.

37:151

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,​​ (151)

Undoubtedly,​​ due to​​ their invented​​ falsehood they say.

 

37:152

” Allah has begotten,” and indeed, they are liars​​ (152).

Allah (SWT)​​ Neither​​ Begets​​ nor is Begotten,​​ thus​​ they are liars.

37:153

Has He chosen daughters over sons?​​ (153).

Has Allah (SWT)​​ Selected daughters over sons?​​ 

37:154

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?​​ (154).

Oh, humankind​​ you appear to​​ make​​ erroneous​​ decisions. Have you​​ no​​ sense of​​ perception.​​ 37:155

Then will you not be reminded?​​ (155).

Hence will you​​ not​​ be admonished​​ &​​ advised​​ ?

37:156

Or do you have a clear authority?​​ (156).

Or do you have​​ power & influence.

37:157

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful​​ (157).

Thus if you happen to​​ be truthful, then​​ display &​​ produce your​​ scripture.

 

 

​​ 37:158

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]​​ (158).

In this​​ “statement”, Allah (SWT)​​ is​​ claimed to have​​ a​​ “lineage with the jinn”.​​ However,​​ the jinn who​​ declared such claims shall​​ be​​ entered into the hell fire.

37:159

Exalted is Allah above what they describe​​ (159),

Exalted & Glorious is Allah (SWT)​​ beyond what they​​ symbolize.

37:160

Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]​​ (160).

Excluding​​ the selected Servants of Allah (SWT)​​ Who are Sincere & Submissive.

37:161

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,​​ (161).

Verily, you blasphemous​​ disbelievers and​​ whichever​​ you worship.

 

37:162

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him​​ (162).

You are unable to temp any​​ humankind from Him (SWT).

 

37:163

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire​​ (163).

Excluding​​ humankind​​ who is​​ lined up​​ to enter & burn​​ in the Hellfire.

37:164

[The angels say], “There is not among us any except that he has a known position​​ (164).

On​​ Resurrection​​ Day, the Angles​​ would say,​​ there is not amongst​​ the Angles​​ any who​​ does not​​ have​​ a​​ known position.

37:165

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]​​ (165).

And evidently,​​ Muslim​​ Believers following the Prophet​​ Muhammad (SAAS) abide by​​ his directive to line-up​​ for​​ prayers​​ in​​ “parallel” lines facing Makkah.

37:166

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah “(166).

And verily,​​ we Muslim Believers​​ Glorify &​​ Exalt Allah (SWT).

37:167

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,​​ (167).

And​​ factually, the blasphemous disbelievers used to say,

37:168

“If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,(168).

They would say​​ “​​ If we​​ had a ‘Message’ from the former humankind.

​​ 37:169

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah “(169).

The blasphemous​​ disbelievers​​ would say. “​​ Had we been​​ amongst​​ the​​ former humankind​​ we would be​​ the sincere​​ servants of Allah (SWT).​​ Hence​​ Prophet Muhammad (SAAS)​​ was​​ sent with​​ the Glorious​​ Qur’an & the Message​​ of Islam.

37:170

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know​​ (170).

However,​​ they​​ remained in disbelief​​ & they​​ will​​ eventually​​ get to know.

​​ 37:171

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers​​ (171),

And​​ the Word of Allah (SWT)​​ Has​​ hitherto​​ preceded​​ Our​​ Servant Messengers​​ for being victorious​​ over the blasphemous disbelievers.

37:172

37:173

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory​​ (172).

Truly, the Soldiers​​ of Allah (SWT)​​ Shall be Granted Victory.

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome​​ (173).

And​​ Evidently,​​ the​​ Soldiers​​ of Allah (SWT)​​ Shall be​​ the​​ Defeaters.

 

37:174

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time​​ (174).

Thus Oh Muhammad (SAAS)​​ turn your back to them for​​ a certain time.​​ Until Allah (SWT) Commands​​ you​​ to​​ start combating them.

37:175

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see​​ (175).

And​​ Oh Muhammad (SAAS)​​ observe what will​​ impinge them,​​ since they shall​​ be observing.​​ 37:176

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?​​ (176).

Hence, are they​​ impatient & speeding up​​ our torment ?

37:177

But when it descends into​​ their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned​​ (177).

This​​ is a description​​ of when Muhammad (SAAS)​​ conquered​​ Al Bait-ul-Haram​​ in​​ Makkah​​ at​​ the time of​​ Dawn​​ upon the​​ Command of Allah (SWT).

37:178

And leave them for a time​​ (178).

This is a​​ Command from Allah (SWT) to​​ Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) to​​ leave​​ them for a time.

37:179

 

And see, for they are going to see​​ (179).

Thus​​ watch​​ them​​ since they will observe.

37:180

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe​​ (180).

Glorified & Exalted is Allah (SWT), the Lord of Might​​ & Creation,​​ Beyond what they​​ Characterize.

37:181

And peace upon the messengers​​ (181).

And Peace Be Upon All Messengers​​ Of Allah (SWT).

 

37:182

And praise to Allah , Lord of the worlds​​ (182).

And Praise, Glory & Majesty​​ Be To Allah (SWT), Lord of the Worlds, Heavens​​ & Earth.
