37:105 قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
37:105
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
37:106 إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
37:106
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
For this was obviously a trial-
37:107 وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
37:107
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
37:108 وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
37:108
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
37:109 سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
37:109
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
37:110 كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
37:110
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
37:111 إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
37:111
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
For he was one of our believing Servants.
37:112 وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُ بِإِسْحَـٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
37:112
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.
37:113 وَبَـٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ
37:113
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
37:114 وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ
37:114
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
37:115 وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
37:115
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
37:116 وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
37:116
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
37:117 وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
37:117
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
37:118 وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
37:118
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
37:119 وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
37:119
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
37:120 سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ
37:120
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
37:121 إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
37:121
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
37:122 إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
37:122
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
For they were two of our believing Servants.
37:123 وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
37:123
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
37:124 إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
37:124
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
37:125 أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ
37:125
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,-
37:126 ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
37:126
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
37:127 فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
37:127
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
37:128 إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
37:128
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
37:129 وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
37:129
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
37:130 سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
37:130
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
37:131 إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
37:131
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
37:132 إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
37:132
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
For he was one of our believing Servants.
37:133 وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
37:133
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
37:134 إِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
37:134
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
37:135 إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ
37:135
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
37:136 ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ
37:136
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Then We destroyed the rest.
37:137 وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
37:137
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-
37:138 وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
37:138
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And by night: will ye not understand?
37:139 وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
37:139
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
37:140 إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
37:140
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
37:141 فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
37:141
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
37:142 فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
37:142
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
37:143 فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
37:143
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
37:144 لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
37:144
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
37:145 ۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
37:145
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
37:146 وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
37:146
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
37:147 وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
37:147
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
37:148 فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
37:148
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
37:149 فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
37:149
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-
37:150 أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَـٰثًا وَهُمْ شَـٰهِدُونَ
37:150
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
37:151 أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
37:151
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
37:152 وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
37:152
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
37:153 أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
37:153
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
37:154 مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
37:154
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
37:155 أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
37:155
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Will ye not then receive admonition?
37:156 أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
37:156
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Or have ye an authority manifest?
37:157 فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
37:157
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
37:158 وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
37:158
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!
37:159 سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
37:159
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
37:160 إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
37:160
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
37:161 فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
37:161
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship-
37:162 مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ
37:162
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
37:163 إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
37:163
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
37:164 وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
37:164
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
37:165 وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
37:165
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
37:166 وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
37:166
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
37:167 وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
37:167
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And there were those who said,
37:168 لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
37:168
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
37:169 لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
37:169
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
37:170 فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
37:170
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
37:171 وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
37:171
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
37:172 إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
37:172
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
That they would certainly be assisted,
37:173 وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
37:173
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And that Our forces,- they surely must conquer.
37:174 فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
37:174
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
37:175 وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
37:175
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
37:176 أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
37:176
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
37:177 فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
37:177
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
37:178 وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
37:178
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
37:179 وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
37:179
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
37:180 سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
37:180
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
37:181 وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
37:181
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And Peace on the messengers!
37:182 وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
37:182
Abdullah Yusuf Ali (English) :
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
