By those who range\n Themselves in ranks,\n2. And so are strong\n In repelling (evil),\n3. And thus proclaim\n The Message (of God)!\n4. Verily, verily, your God\n Is One!\u2014\n5. Rabbu alssamawati waal-ardi wama baynahuma warabbu almashariqi\n5. Lord of the heavens\n And of the earth,\nAnd all between them,\n And Lord of every point\n At the rising of the sun!\n6. Inna zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bizeenatin alkawakibi\n6. We have indeed decked\n The lower heaven with beauty\n (In) the stars,\u2014\n7. Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin\n7. (For beauty) and for guard\n Against all obstinate\n Rebellious evil spirits,\n8. La yassammaAAoona ila almala-i al-aAAla wayuqthafoona min kulli janibin\n8. (So) they should not strain\n Their ears in the direction\n Of the Exalted Assembly\nBut be cast away\n From every side,\n9. Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun\n9. Repulsed, for they are\n Under a perpetual penalty,\n10. Illa man khatifa alkhatfata faatbaAAahu shihabun thaqibun\n10. Except such as snatch away\n Something by stealth, and they\n Are pursued by a flaming\n Fire, of piercing brightness.\n11. Faistaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqna inna khalaqnahum min teenin lazibin\n11. Just ask their opinion:\n Are they the more difficult\n To create, or the (other) beings\n We have created?\n Them have We created\n Out of a sticky clay!\n12. Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona\n12. Truly dost thou marvel,\n While they ridicule,\n13. Wa-itha thukkiroo la yathkuroona\n13. And, when they are\n Admonished, pay no heed,\u2014\n14. Wa-itha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona\n14. And, when they see\n A Sign, turn it\n To mockery,\n15. Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun\n15. And say, \"This is nothing\n But evident sorcery!\n16. A-itha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman a-inna lamabAAoothoona\n16. \"What! when we die,\n And become dust and bones,\nShall we (then) be\n Raised up (again)?\n17. \"And also our fathers\n Of old?\"\n18. Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona\n18. Say thou: \"Yea, and ye shall\n Then be humiliated\n (On account of your evil).\n19. Fa-innama hiya zajratun wahidatun fa-itha hum yanthuroona\n19. Then it will be a single\n (Compelling) cry;\n And behold, they will\n Begin to see!\n20. Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni\n20. They will say, \"Ah!\n Woe to us! this is\n The Day of Judgment!\"\n21. Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona\n21. (A voice will say,)\n \"This is the Day\n Of Sorting Out, whose\n Truth ye (once) denied!\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXXVII.: \u1e62\u0101ff\u0101t, or ...","type":"page"}
