Description
(37:1) By those who range themselves in rows; (37:2) by those who reprove severely, (37:3) and those who recite the Exhortation; (37:4) surely your God is One, (37:5) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of whatever lies between the two, the Lord of the Easts. (37:6) We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars (37:7) and have protected it from every rebellious satan. (37:8) These satans cannot listen to what transpires in the High Council for they are pelted away from every side (37:9) and are repelled. Theirs is an unceasing chastisement. (37:10) And if any is able to snatch a fragment, he is pursued by a piercing flame. (37:11) So ask them (that is, human beings): “Were they harder to create than the objects We created?” We created them from sticky clay. (37:12) You marvel (at the wondrous creations of Allah) and they scoff at it, (37:13) and when they are admonished, they pay no heed; (37:14) and if they see any Sign, they laugh it away (37:15) and say: “This is nothing but plain sorcery. (37:16) Is it ever possible that after we die and are reduced to dust and (a skeleton of) bones, we will be raised to life? (37:17) And so also shall our forefathers of yore be raised to life?” (37:18) Tell them: “Yes; and you are utterly helpless (against Allah).” (37:19) There will be a single stern rebuff and lo, they will be observing with their own eyes (all that they had been warned against). (37:20) They will then say: “Woe for us. This is the Day of Judgement.” (37:21) “Yes, this is the Day of Final Decision that you used to deny as a lie.” ,,..........
