فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةࣰ فِی ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٨٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then he took a look at the stars

fanaẓara naẓratan fī l-nujūm

37:89

فَقَالَ إِنِّی سَقِیمࣱ ۝٨٩

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And he said, "I am truly sick (at my heart)!"

faqāla innī saqīmu

37:90

فَتَوَلَّوۡا۟ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِینَ ۝٩٠

Syed Vickar Ahamed

So they (his people) turned away from him, and left (him)

fatawallaw ʿanhu mud'birīn

37:91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰۤ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ۝٩١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then he turned to their gods and said: "Will you not eat (from what is offered to you)?..

farāgha ilā ālihatihim faqāla alā takulūn

37:92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ ۝٩٢

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"What is the matter with you that you do not speak (and make sense)?"

mā lakum lā tanṭiqūn

37:93

فَرَاغَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡیَمِینِ ۝٩٣

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then he turned upon them (their gods), striking (them) with the right hand

farāgha ʿalayhim ḍarban bil-yamīn

37:94

فَأَقۡبَلُوۤا۟ إِلَیۡهِ یَزِفُّونَ ۝٩٤

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then (the worshippers) came with quick steps, and faced (him)

fa-aqbalū ilayhi yaziffūn

37:95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ ۝٩٥

Syed Vickar Ahamed

He said: "Do you worship what you have carved (yourselves)

qāla ataʿbudūna mā tanḥitūn

37:96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٩٦

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"While (it is) Allah (Who) has created you and (also) what you have made!"

wal-lahu khalaqakum wamā taʿmalūn

37:97

قَالُوا۟ ٱبۡنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنۡیَـٰنࣰا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِی ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝٩٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

They said: "Build for him a house (burning like a furnace), and throw him into the blazing fire!"

qālū ib'nū lahu bun'yānan fa-alqūhu fī l-jaḥīm

37:98

فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَیۡدࣰا فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِینَ ۝٩٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

So (after having failed; See 21.69), they then took a way (to hurt) against him, but We made them the ones most ashamed

fa-arādū bihi kaydan fajaʿalnāhumu l-asfalīn

37:99

وَقَالَ إِنِّی ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ ۝٩٩

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And he said: "Verily, I am going to my Lord! He will surely guide me

37:100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِی مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ۝١٠٠

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"O my Lord! Grant me (a progeny) of the righteous!"

rabbi hab lī mina l-ṣāliḥīn

37:101

فَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ حَلِیمࣲ ۝١٠١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

So, We gave him the good news of a boy ready (to be born) to suffer and be patient

fabasharnāhu bighulāmin ḥalīmi

37:102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡیَ قَالَ یَـٰبُنَیَّ إِنِّیۤ أَرَىٰ فِی ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّیۤ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ یَـٰۤأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِیۤ إِن شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٠٢

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And when (his son, Ismail) became (the age to) work with him, he (Ibrahim) said: "O my son! I see in a dream (vision) that I offer you in sacrifice (to Allah): Now see what is your (own) thought!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do like you are commanded: You will find me, if Allah so wills one who has (great) patience (and constancy!)"

37:103

فَلَمَّاۤ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِینِ ۝١٠٣

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then, when they both had submitted their wills (to Allah’s Wish), and he (Ibrahim) had laid him (his son, Ismail) prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice)

falammā aslamā watallahu lil'jabīn

37:104

وَنَـٰدَیۡنَـٰهُ أَن یَـٰۤإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمُ ۝١٠٤

Syed Vickar Ahamed

We called out to him, "O Ibrahim (Abraham)

wanādaynāhu an yāib'rāhīm

37:105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡیَاۤۚ إِنَّا كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ ۝١٠٥

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"You have already fulfilled your vision!"— Verily, thus We do reward those who do good

37:106

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰۤؤُا۟ ٱلۡمُبِینُ ۝١٠٦

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Indeed, it was clearly a trial (for Ibrahim)—

inna hādhā lahuwa l-balāu l-mubīn

37:107

وَفَدَیۡنَـٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِیمࣲ ۝١٠٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (with that of a ram)

37:108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝١٠٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And We left for him (this blessing) in the generations to follow in later times

37:111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١١١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Indeed, he was one of Our believing servants

innahu min ʿibādinā l-mu'minīn

37:112

وَبَشَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِإِسۡحَـٰقَ نَبِیࣰّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِینَ ۝١١٢

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And We gave him the good news of Ishaq (Isaac)— A prophet— One of the righteous

وَبَـٰرَكۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ وَعَلَىٰۤ إِسۡحَـٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنࣱ وَظَالِمࣱ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِینࣱ ۝١١٣

Syed Vickar Ahamed

We blessed him and Ishaq (Isaac): And of their children (and descendants) are (some) who do right, and (some) who clearly do wrong to their own souls

"Allah— Your Lord and (Cherisher and) the Lord (and Cherisher) of your fathers from the earlier days?"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ۝١٢٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

But they denied him, so they will be truly brought up (for punishment)—

Truly, We saved him and all his people (with him

Except an old woman (his wife) who was with those who fell behind

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡءَاخَرِینَ ۝١٣٦

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then We destroyed the rest

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَیۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِینَ ۝١٣٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Surely, you pass by their (sites) by the morning—

37:138

وَبِٱلَّیۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ۝١٣٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

37:140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ ۝١٤٠

Syed Vickar Ahamed

When he ran away (like a slave runs from captivity) to the ship (fully) loaded (with men and cargo)

idh abaqa ilā l-ful'ki l-mashḥūn

37:141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِینَ ۝١٤١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then he (agreed to foretell fortunes and) cast lots, (and he was blamed for the ships bad weather) and he was a loser, punished (and thrown in the sea)

fasāhama fakāna mina l-mud'ḥaḍīn

37:142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِیمࣱ ۝١٤٢

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then the (big) fish swallowed him, and he had done actions worthy of blame (by running away from his mission)

fal-taqamahu l-ḥūtu wahuwa mulīmu

37:143

فَلَوۡلَاۤ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِینَ ۝١٤٣

Syed Vickar Ahamed

If it was that he had not (repented and) glorified Allah

falawlā annahu kāna mina l-musabiḥīn

37:144

لَلَبِثَ فِی بَطۡنِهِۦۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

Syed Vickar Ahamed

He would surely have remained inside the fish till the Day of Resurrection (to be raised from the dead)

lalabitha fī baṭnihi ilā yawmi yub'ʿathūn

37:145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَاۤءِ وَهُوَ سَقِیمࣱ ۝١٤٥

Syed Vickar Ahamed

But We cast (threw) him on the open shore while he was (still) sick

fanabadhnāhu bil-ʿarāi wahuwa saqīmu

37:146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَیۡهِ شَجَرَةࣰ مِّن یَقۡطِینࣲ ۝١٤٦

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And We made a vine (of hard shelled fruit) to grow over him for shade

wa-anbatnā ʿalayhi shajaratan min yaqṭīni

37:147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ یَزِیدُونَ ۝١٤٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And We sent him to (teach Allah’s Message to) a hundred thousand (men) or more

wa-arsalnāhu ilā mi-ati alfin aw yazīdūn

37:148

فَءَامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِینࣲ ۝١٤٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And they believed; So We let them enjoy (their lives) for a while

faāmanū famattaʿnāhum ilā ḥīni

37:149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ ۝١٤٩

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Now ask them (the unbelievers) what they think: Is it that your Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons

fa-is'taftihim alirabbika l-banātu walahumu l-banūn

37:150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةَ إِنَـٰثࣰا وَهُمۡ شَـٰهِدُونَ ۝١٥٠

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Or that We created the angels female, and they have seen (it)

37:151

أَلَاۤ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Verily, is it not they who say (in their disbelief and), from their own lies and sayings

alā innahum min if'kihim layaqūlūn

37:152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"Allah has had children?" And verily, they are liars

walada l-lahu wa-innahum lakādhibūn

37:153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِینَ ۝١٥٣

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons

aṣṭafā l-banāti ʿalā l-banīn

37:154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

Syed Vickar Ahamed

What is the matter with you? How do you decide

mā lakum kayfa taḥkumūn

37:155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝١٥٥

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Then will you not remember (receive the warning)

afalā tadhakkarūn

37:156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝١٥٦

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Or do you have a clear authority

am lakum sul'ṭānun mubīnu

37:157

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝١٥٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

(If so), then you bring your Book (of authority) if you are truthful

37:158

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَیۡنَهُۥ وَبَیۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبࣰاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ۝١٥٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the jinns', but the jinns' know (very well) that they (also) have to appear (for Judgment)

wajaʿalū baynahu wabayna l-jinati nasaban walaqad ʿalimati l-jinatu innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūn

37:159

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ ۝١٥٩

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Glorified be Allah! (He is) Free from the things that they relate (to Him)

37:161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ۝١٦١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

So surely, neither you nor those you worship—

37:162

مَاۤ أَنتُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ بِفَـٰتِنِینَ ۝١٦٢

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Can lead (any of Allah’s servents) into temptation (and lies) about Allah

37:163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝١٦٣

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Except those who are (by themselves) going to the blazing Fire (of Hell)

"And, verily we are surely arranged in ranks (for Allah’s Service)

"And surely we are those who speak out (Allah’s Supreme) Glory!"

wa-innā lanaḥnu l-musabiḥūn

37:167

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٦٧

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And indeed they (the pagan Arabs) used to say

37:168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝١٦٨

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"If only we have had a Message before us from those (Books) of old

37:169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ ۝١٦٩

Syed Vickar Ahamed

"We would truly have been the Servants of Allah, sincere (and loving)!"

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ یَعۡلَمُونَ ۝١٧٠

Syed Vickar Ahamed

But (now that the Quran has come), they (still) reject it: But soon will they know (the penalty)

fakafarū bihi fasawfa yaʿlamūn

37:171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ ۝١٧١

Syed Vickar Ahamed

And surely, Our Word, already has been given before (this) to Our servants and messengers sent

walaqad sabaqat kalimatunā liʿibādinā l-mur'salīn

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ ۝١٧٢

That they would certainly be made victorious
