    إِذْجَآءَرَبَّهُۥبِقَلْبٍۢسَلِيمٍ٨٤

    Iz jaaa'a Rabbahoo bi qalbin saleem

    When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

  85. 37:85

    إِذْقَالَلِأَبِيهِوَقَوْمِهِۦمَاذَاتَعْبُدُونَ٨٥

    Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maazaa ta'budoon

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

  86. 37:86

    أَئِفْكًاءَالِهَةًۭدُونَٱللَّهِتُرِيدُونَ٨٦

    A'ifkan aalihatan doonal laahi tureedoon

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

  87. 37:87

    فَمَاظَنُّكُمبِرَبِّٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ٨٧

    Famaa zannukum bi Rabbil'aalameen

    Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"

  88. 37:88

    فَنَظَرَنَظْرَةًۭفِىٱلنُّجُومِ٨٨

    Fanazara nazratan finnujoom

    And he cast a look at the stars

  89. 37:89

    فَقَالَإِنِّىسَقِيمٌۭ٨٩

    Faqaala inee saqeem

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

  90. 37:90

    فَتَوَلَّوْا۟عَنْهُمُدْبِرِينَ٩٠

    Fatawallaw 'anhu mudbireen

    So they turned away from him, departing.

  91. 37:91

    فَرَاغَإِلَىٰٓءَالِهَتِهِمْفَقَالَأَلَاتَأْكُلُونَ٩١

    Faraagha ilaaa aalihatihim faqaala alaa taakuloon

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

  92. 37:92

    مَالَكُمْلَاتَنطِقُونَ٩٢

    Maa lakum laa tantiqoon

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

  93. 37:93

    فَرَاغَعَلَيْهِمْضَرْبًۢابِٱلْيَمِينِ٩٣

    Faraagha 'alaihim darbam bilyameen

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

  94. 37:94

    فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟إِلَيْهِيَزِفُّونَ٩٤

    Fa aqbalooo ilaihi yaziffoon

    Then the people came toward him, hastening.

  95. 37:95

    قَالَأَتَعْبُدُونَمَاتَنْحِتُونَ٩٥

    Qaala ata'budoona maa tanhitoon

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

  96. 37:96

    وَٱللَّهُخَلَقَكُمْوَمَاتَعْمَلُونَ٩٦

    Wallaahu khalaqakum wa maa ta'maloon

    While Allah created you and that which you do?"

  97. 37:97

    قَالُوا۟ٱبْنُوا۟لَهُۥبُنْيَـٰنًۭافَأَلْقُوهُفِىٱلْجَحِيمِ٩٧

    Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem

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

  98. 37:98

    فَأَرَادُوا۟بِهِۦكَيْدًۭافَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمُٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ٩٨

    Fa araadoo bihee kaidan faja 'alnaahumul asfaleen

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

  99. 37:99

    وَقَالَإِنِّىذَاهِبٌإِلَىٰرَبِّىسَيَهْدِينِ٩٩

    Wa qaala innee zaahibun ilaa Rabbee sa yahdeen

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

  100. 37:100

    رَبِّهَبْلِىمِنَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ١٠٠

    Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen

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

  101. 37:101

    فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُبِغُلَـٰمٍحَلِيمٍۢ١٠١

    Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem

    So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

  102. 37:102

    فَلَمَّابَلَغَمَعَهُٱلسَّعْىَقَالَيَـٰبُنَىَّإِنِّىٓأَرَىٰفِىٱلْمَنَامِأَنِّىٓأَذْبَحُكَفَٱنظُرْمَاذَاتَرَىٰ ۚقَالَيَـٰٓأَبَتِٱفْعَلْمَاتُؤْمَرُ ۖسَتَجِدُنِىٓإِنشَآءَٱللَّهُمِنَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ١٠٢

    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."

  103. 37:103

    فَلَمَّآأَسْلَمَاوَتَلَّهُۥلِلْجَبِينِ١٠٣

    Falammaaa aslamaa wa tallahoo liljabeen

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

  104. 37:104

    وَنَـٰدَيْنَـٰهُأَنيَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ١٠٤

    Wa naadainaahu ai yaaaa Ibraheem

    We called to him, "O Abraham,

  105. 37:105

    قَدْصَدَّقْتَٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚإِنَّاكَذَٰلِكَنَجْزِىٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ١٠٥

    Qad saddaqtar ru'yaa; innaa kazaalika najzil muhsineen

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

  106. 37:106

    إِنَّهَـٰذَالَهُوَٱلْبَلَـٰٓؤُا۟ٱلْمُبِينُ١٠٦

    Inna haazaa lahuwal balaaa'ul mubeen

    Indeed, this was the clear trial.

  107. 37:107

    وَفَدَيْنَـٰهُبِذِبْحٍعَظِيمٍۢ١٠٧

    Wa fadainaahu bizibhin 'azeem

    And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,

  108. 37:108

    وَتَرَكْنَاعَلَيْهِفِىٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ١٠٨

    Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

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

  109. 37:109

    سَلَـٰمٌعَلَىٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمَ١٠٩

    Salaamun 'alaaa Ibraaheem

    "Peace upon Abraham."

  110. 37:110

    كَذَٰلِكَنَجْزِىٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ١١٠

    Kazaalika najzil muhsineen

    Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

  111. 37:111

    إِنَّهُۥمِنْعِبَادِنَاٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ١١١

    Innahoo min 'ibaadinal mu'mineen

    Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

  112. 37:112

    وَبَشَّرْنَـٰهُبِإِسْحَـٰقَنَبِيًّۭامِّنَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ١١٢

    Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyayam minas saaliheen

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

  113. 37:113

    وَبَـٰرَكْنَاعَلَيْهِوَعَلَىٰٓإِسْحَـٰقَ ۚوَمِنذُرِّيَّتِهِمَامُحْسِنٌۭوَظَالِمٌۭلِّنَفْسِهِۦمُبِينٌۭ١١٣

    Wa baaraknaa 'alaihi wa 'alaaa Ishaaq; wa min zurriyya tihimaa muhsinunw wa zaalimul linafshihee mubeen

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

  114. 37:114

    وَلَقَدْمَنَنَّاعَلَىٰمُوسَىٰوَهَـٰرُونَ١١٤

    Wa laqad mananna alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

    And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

  115. 37:115

    وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُمَاوَقَوْمَهُمَامِنَٱلْكَرْبِٱلْعَظِيمِ١١٥

    Wa najjainaahumaa wa qawmahumaa minal karbil 'azeem

    And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

  116. 37:116

    وَنَصَرْنَـٰهُمْفَكَانُوا۟هُمُٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ١١٦

    Wa nasarnaahum fakaanoo humul ghaalibeen

    And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

  117. 37:117

    وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمَاٱلْكِتَـٰبَٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ١١٧

    Wa aatainaahumal Kitaabal mustabeen

    And We gave them the explicit Scripture,

  118. 37:118

    وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمَاٱلصِّرَٰطَٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ١١٨

    Wa hadainaahumus Siraatal Mustaqeem

    And We guided them on the straight path.

  119. 37:119

    وَتَرَكْنَاعَلَيْهِمَافِىٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ١١٩

    Wa taraknaa 'alaihimaa fil aakhireen

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

    Salaamun 'alaa Moosaa wa Haaroon

    "Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

    Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

  123. 37:123

    وَإِنَّإِلْيَاسَلَمِنَٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ١٢٣

    Wa inna Ilyaasa laminal mursaleen

    And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

    إِذْقَالَلِقَوْمِهِۦٓأَلَاتَتَّقُونَ١٢٤

    Iz qaala liqawmiheee alaa tattaqoon

    Atad'oona Ba'lanw wa tazaroona ahsanal khaaliqeen

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

  126. 37:126

    فَكَذَّبُوهُفَإِنَّهُمْلَمُحْضَرُونَ١٢٧

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

    إِلَّاعِبَادَٱللَّهِٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ١٢٨

    Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

    Except the chosen servants of Allah.

    وَتَرَكْنَاعَلَيْهِفِىٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ١٢٩

    Wa taraknaa 'alaihi fil aakhireen

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

    Salaamun 'alaaa Ilyaaseen

    وَإِنَّلُوطًۭالَّمِنَٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ١٣٣

    Wa inna Lootal laminal mursaleen

    And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

    إِذْنَجَّيْنَـٰهُوَأَهْلَهُۥٓأَجْمَعِينَ١٣٤

    Iz najjainaahu wa ahlahooo ajma'een

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

    إِلَّاعَجُوزًۭافِىٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ١٣٥

    Illaa 'ajoozan fil ghaabireen

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

  136. 37:136

    ثُمَّدَمَّرْنَاٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ١٣٦

    Summa dammarnal aakhareen

    Then We destroyed the others.

  137. 37:137

    وَإِنَّكُمْلَتَمُرُّونَعَلَيْهِممُّصْبِحِينَ١٣٧

    Wa innakum latamurroona 'alaihim musbiheen

    And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

  138. 37:138

    وَبِٱلَّيْلِ ۗأَفَلَاتَعْقِلُونَ١٣٨

    Wa billail; afalaa ta'qiloon

    And at night. Then will you not use reason?

  139. 37:139

    وَإِنَّيُونُسَلَمِنَٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ١٣٩

    Wa inna Yoonusa laminal mursaleen

    And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

  140. 37:140

    إِذْأَبَقَإِلَىٱلْفُلْكِٱلْمَشْحُونِ١٤٠

    Iz abaqa ilal fulkil mash hoon

    [Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

  141. 37:141

    فَسَاهَمَفَكَانَمِنَٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ١٤١

    Fasaahama fakaana minal mudhadeen

    And he drew lots and was among the losers.

  142. 37:142

    فَٱلْتَقَمَهُٱلْحُوتُوَهُوَمُلِيمٌۭ١٤٢

    Faltaqamahul hootu wa huwa muleem

    Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

  143. 37:143

    فَلَوْلَآأَنَّهُۥكَانَمِنَٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ١٤٣

    Falaw laaa annahoo kaana minal musabbiheen

    And had he not been of those who exalt Allah,

  144. 37:144

    لَلَبِثَفِىبَطْنِهِۦٓإِلَىٰيَوْمِيُبْعَثُونَ١٤٤

    Lalabisa fee batniheee ilaa Yawmi yub'asoon

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

  145. 37:145

    ۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُبِٱلْعَرَآءِوَهُوَسَقِيمٌۭ١٤٥

    Fanabaznaahu bil'araaa'i wa huwa saqeem

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

  146. 37:146

    وَأَنۢبَتْنَاعَلَيْهِشَجَرَةًۭمِّنيَقْطِينٍۢ١٤٦

    Wa ambatnaa 'alaihi shajaratam mai yaqteen

    And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

  147. 37:147

    وَأَرْسَلْنَـٰهُإِلَىٰمِا۟ئَةِأَلْفٍأَوْيَزِيدُونَ١٤٧

    Wa arsalnaahu ilaa mi'ati alfin aw yazeedoon

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

  148. 37:148

    فَـَٔامَنُوا۟فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْإِلَىٰحِينٍۢ١٤٨

    Fa aamanoo famatta' naahum ilaa heen

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

  149. 37:149

    فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْأَلِرَبِّكَٱلْبَنَاتُوَلَهُمُٱلْبَنُونَ١٤٩

    Fastaftihim ali Rabbikal banaatu wa lahumul banoon

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

  150. 37:150

    أَمْخَلَقْنَاٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَإِنَـٰثًۭاوَهُمْشَـٰهِدُونَ١٥٠

    Am khalaqnal malaaa'i kata inaasanw wa hm shaahidoon

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

  151. 37:151

    أَلَآإِنَّهُممِّنْإِفْكِهِمْلَيَقُولُونَ١٥١

    Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon

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

  152. 37:152

    وَلَدَٱللَّهُوَإِنَّهُمْلَكَـٰذِبُونَ١٥٢

    Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon

    " Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

  153. 37:153

    أَصْطَفَىٱلْبَنَاتِعَلَىٱلْبَنِينَ١٥٣

    Astafal banaati 'alal baneen

    Has He chosen daughters over sons?

  154. 37:154

    مَالَكُمْكَيْفَتَحْكُمُونَ١٥٤

    Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon

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

  155. 37:155

    أَفَلَاتَذَكَّرُونَ١٥٥

    Afalaa tazakkaroon

    Then will you not be reminded?

  156. 37:156

    أَمْلَكُمْسُلْطَـٰنٌۭمُّبِينٌۭ١٥٦

    Am lakum sultaanum mubeen

    Or do you have a clear authority?

  157. 37:157

    فَأْتُوا۟بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْإِنكُنتُمْصَـٰدِقِينَ١٥٧

    Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen

    Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

  158. 37:158

    وَجَعَلُوا۟بَيْنَهُۥوَبَيْنَٱلْجِنَّةِنَسَبًۭا ۚوَلَقَدْعَلِمَتِٱلْجِنَّةُإِنَّهُمْلَمُحْضَرُونَ١٥٨

    Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon

    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].

  159. 37:159

    سُبْحَـٰنَٱللَّهِعَمَّايَصِفُونَ١٥٩

    Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon

    Exalted is Allah above what they describe,

    إِلَّاعِبَادَٱللَّهِٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ١٦٠

    Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

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

  161. 37:161

    فَإِنَّكُمْوَمَاتَعْبُدُونَ١٦١

    Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon

    So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

  162. 37:162

    مَآأَنتُمْعَلَيْهِبِفَـٰتِنِينَ١٦٢

    Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen

    You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

  163. 37:163

    إِلَّامَنْهُوَصَالِٱلْجَحِيمِ١٦٣

    Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem

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

  164. 37:164

    وَمَامِنَّآإِلَّالَهُۥمَقَامٌۭمَّعْلُومٌۭ١٦٤

    Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom

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

  165. 37:165

    وَإِنَّالَنَحْنُٱلصَّآفُّونَ١٦٥

    Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon

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

  166. 37:166

    وَإِنَّالَنَحْنُٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ١٦٦

    Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon

    And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

  167. 37:167

    وَإِنكَانُوا۟لَيَقُولُونَ١٦٧

    Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon

    And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,

  168. 37:168

    لَوْأَنَّعِندَنَاذِكْرًۭامِّنَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٦٨

    Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen

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

  169. 37:169

    لَكُنَّاعِبَادَٱللَّهِٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ١٦٩

    Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen

    We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."

    فَكَفَرُوا۟بِهِۦ ۖفَسَوْفَيَعْلَمُونَ١٧٠

    Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon

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

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