Sura 37 The Arrangers (Al-Saaffaat)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[37:1] By those lined up in rows,

[37:2] and by those who drive forcibly,

[37:3] and by the reciters of the Reminders:

[37:4] Indeed, your God is indeed One.

[37:5] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them, and Lord of the easts.

[37:6] We have adorned the lowest heaven with the zinat of the planets,

[37:7] and granted it protection against every rebellious devil.

[37:8] They are not to eavesdrop on the Highest Assembly and are bombarded from every side.

[37:9] Repelled they are, and they shall have an eternal punishment.

[37:10] If any of them snatches a snippet, he is pursued by a piercing meteor.

[37:11] Ask them, "Are they a stronger creation, or others whom We have created?" Indeed, We created them from sticky clay.

[37:12] Yet, while you marvelled, they mock!

[37:13] And when they are reminded, they do not pay heed.

[37:14] And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

[37:15] And they said, "This is nothing but clear magic!

[37:16] When we die and become dust and bones, are we to be resurrected

[37:17] as well as our forefathers?"

[37:18] Say, "Yes indeed, and you will be in a despicable state."
