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

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

37:40

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ﴿40﴾

But not the chosen servants of Allah

37:41

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ﴿41﴾

Those will have a provision determined

37:42

37:46

بَيۡضَآءَ لَذَّةٖ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ﴿46﴾

White and delicious to the drinkers

37:47

لَا فِيهَا غَوۡلٞ وَلَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا يُنزَفُونَ﴿47﴾

كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيۡضٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ﴿49﴾

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

37:51

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ﴿51﴾

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

37:52

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ﴿52﴾

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

37:53

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ﴿53﴾

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed

37:54

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ﴿54﴾

He will say, "Would you [care to] look

37:55

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِي سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿55﴾

37:56

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ﴿56﴾

He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me

37:57

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ﴿57﴾

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

37:58

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ﴿58﴾

Then, are we not to die

37:59

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ﴿59﴾

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished

37:60

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ﴿60﴾

Indeed, this is the great attainment

37:61

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ﴿61﴾

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work

37:62

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ﴿62﴾

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum

37:63

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ﴿63﴾

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers

37:64

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿64﴾

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

37:65

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ﴿65﴾

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils

37:66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ﴿66﴾

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

37:67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ﴿67﴾

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water

37:68

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿68﴾

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire

37:69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ﴿69﴾

Indeed they found their fathers astray

37:70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ﴿70﴾

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps

37:71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿71﴾

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

37:72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ﴿72﴾

And We had already sent among them warners

37:73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ﴿73﴾

Then look how was the end of those who were warned

37:74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ﴿74﴾

But not the chosen servants of Allah

37:75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ﴿75﴾

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders

37:76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ﴿76﴾

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction

37:77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ﴿77﴾

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

37:78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿78﴾

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

37:79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿79﴾

Peace upon Noah among the worlds

37:80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿80﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

37:81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿81﴾

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

37:82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ﴿82﴾

Then We drowned the disbelievers

37:83

۞وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ﴿83﴾

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

37:84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ﴿84﴾

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

37:85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ﴿85﴾

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

37:86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ﴿86﴾

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire

37:87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿87﴾

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

37:88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ﴿88﴾

And he cast a look at the stars

37:89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ﴿89﴾

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill

37:90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ﴿90﴾

So they turned away from him, departing

37:91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ﴿91﴾

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat

37:92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ﴿92﴾

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

37:93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ﴿93﴾

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand

37:94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ﴿94﴾

Then the people came toward him, hastening

37:95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ﴿95﴾

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve

37:96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ﴿96﴾

While Allah created you and that which you do

37:97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿97﴾

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire

37:98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ﴿98﴾

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased

37:99

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ﴿99﴾

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me

37:100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ﴿100﴾

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

37:101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ﴿101﴾

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

37:102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ﴿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

37:103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ﴿103﴾

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead

37:104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَـٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ﴿104﴾

We called to him, "O Abraham

37:105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿105﴾

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

37:106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ﴿106﴾

Indeed, this was the clear trial

37:107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ﴿107﴾

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice

37:108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿108﴾

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

37:109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ﴿109﴾

Peace upon Abraham

37:110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿110﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

37:111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿111﴾

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

37:112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ﴿112﴾

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous

37:113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ﴿113﴾

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

37:114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ﴿114﴾

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron

37:115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ﴿115﴾

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction

37:116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ﴿116﴾

And We supported them so it was they who overcame

37:117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ﴿117﴾

And We gave them the explicit Scripture

37:118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ﴿118﴾

And We guided them on the straight path

37:119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿119﴾

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations

37:120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ﴿120﴾

Peace upon Moses and Aaron

37:121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿121﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

37:122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿122﴾

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants

37:123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿123﴾

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers

37:124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ﴿124﴾

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah

37:125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ﴿125﴾

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators

37:126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿126﴾

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

37:127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ﴿127﴾

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]

37:128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ﴿128﴾

Except the chosen servants of Allah

37:129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿129﴾

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

37:130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ﴿130﴾

Peace upon Elias

37:131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ﴿131﴾

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

37:132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴿132﴾

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

37:133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿133﴾

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers

37:134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ﴿134﴾

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all

37:135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ﴿135﴾

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]

37:136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ﴿136﴾

Then We destroyed the others

37:137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ﴿137﴾

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

37:138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ﴿138﴾

And at night. Then will you not use reason

37:139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿139﴾

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers

37:140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ﴿140﴾

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship

37:141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ﴿141﴾

And he drew lots and was among the losers

37:142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ﴿142﴾

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

37:143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ﴿143﴾

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

37:144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ﴿144﴾

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected

37:145

۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ﴿145﴾

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill

37:146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ﴿146﴾

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

37:147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ﴿147﴾

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more

37:148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ﴿148﴾

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time

37:149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ﴿149﴾

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons

37:150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ﴿150﴾

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses

37:151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ﴿151﴾

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say

37:152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ﴿152﴾

Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars

37:153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ﴿153﴾

Has He chosen daughters over sons

37:154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ﴿154﴾

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement

37:155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ﴿155﴾

Then will you not be reminded

37:156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ﴿156﴾

Or do you have a clear authority

37:157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ﴿157﴾

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

37:158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ﴿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]

37:159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴿159﴾

Exalted is Allah above what they describe

37:160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ﴿160﴾

Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]

37:161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ﴿161﴾

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship

37:162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ﴿162﴾

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

37:163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ﴿163﴾

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire

37:164

وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ﴿164﴾

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position

37:165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ﴿165﴾

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]

37:166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ﴿166﴾

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah

37:167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ﴿167﴾

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say

37:168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿168﴾

If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples

37:169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ﴿169﴾

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah

37:170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ﴿170﴾

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know

37:171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿171﴾

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers

37:172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ﴿172﴾

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

37:173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ﴿173﴾

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome

37:174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ﴿174﴾

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time

37:175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ﴿175﴾

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see

37:176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ﴿176﴾

Then for Our punishment are they impatient

37:177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ﴿177﴾

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned

37:178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ﴿178﴾

And leave them for a time

37:179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ﴿179﴾

And see, for they are going to see

37:180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴿180﴾

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe

37:181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ﴿181﴾

And peace upon the messengers

37:182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿182﴾

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
