Pickthall:	And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
037.004
Yusufali:	Verily, verily, your God is one!-
Pickthall:	Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
037.005

Pickthall:	With security from every froward devil.

Pickthall:	Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
037.035
Yusufali:	For they, when they were told that there is no god except God, would puff themselves up with Pride,

037.053
Yusufali:	"'When we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and punishments?'"
Pickthall:	Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?
037.054
Yusufali:	(A voice) said: "Would ye like to look down?"
Pickthall:	He saith: Will ye look?
037.055
Yusufali:	He looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.
Pickthall:	Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
037.056
Yusufali:	He said: "By God! thou wast little short of bringing me to perdition!
Pickthall:	He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
037.057
Yusufali:	"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)!
Pickthall:	And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
037.058
Yusufali:	"Is it (the case) that we shall not die,
Pickthall:	Are we then not to die
037.059
Yusufali:	"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"
Pickthall:	Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
037.060
Yusufali:	Verily this is the supreme achievement!
Pickthall:	Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
037.061
Yusufali:	For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive.
Pickthall:	For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
037.062
Yusufali:	Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?
Pickthall:	Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
037.063
Yusufali:	For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers.
Pickthall:	Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
037.064
Yusufali:	For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:

Pickthall:	And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
037.068

037.069
Yusufali:	Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path;
Pickthall:	They indeed found their fathers astray,
037.070
Yusufali:	So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!
Pickthall:	But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
037.071
Yusufali:	And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;-
Pickthall:	And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
037.072
Yusufali:	But We sent aforetime, among them, (apostles) to admonish them;-
Pickthall:	And verily We sent among them warners.
037.073
Yusufali:	Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),-
Pickthall:	Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
037.074
Yusufali:	Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of God.

037.079
Yusufali:	"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
Pickthall:	Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
037.080
Yusufali:	Thus indeed do we reward those who do right.

037.081

037.085
Yusufali:	Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?
Pickthall:	When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
037.086
Yusufali:	"Is it a falsehood- gods other than God- that ye desire?
Pickthall:	Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
037.087
Yusufali:	"Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"
Pickthall:	What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
037.088
Yusufali:	Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.
Pickthall:	And he glanced a glance at the stars
037.089
Yusufali:	And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
Pickthall:	Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
037.090
Yusufali:	So they turned away from him, and departed.
Pickthall:	And they turned their backs and went away from him.
037.091
Yusufali:	Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...
Pickthall:	Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
037.092
Yusufali:	"What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"
Pickthall:	What aileth you that ye speak not?
037.093
Yusufali:	Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.
Pickthall:	Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
037.094
Yusufali:	Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).
Pickthall:	And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
037.095
Yusufali:	He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?

037.096
Yusufali:	"But God has created you and your handwork!"
Pickthall:	When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
037.097
Yusufali:	They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
Pickthall:	They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
037.098
Yusufali:	(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
Pickthall:	And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
037.099
Yusufali:	He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
Pickthall:	And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
037.100
Yusufali:	"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
Pickthall:	My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
037.101
Yusufali:	So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
Pickthall:	So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
037.102
Yusufali:	Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Pickthall:	And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
037.103
Yusufali:	So when they had both submitted their wills (to God), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
Pickthall:	Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
037.104
Yusufali:	We called out to him "O Abraham!
Pickthall:	We called unto him: O Abraham!
037.105
Yusufali:	"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Pickthall:	Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
037.106
Yusufali:	For this was obviously a trial-
Pickthall:	Lo! that verily was a clear test.
037.107
Yusufali:	And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
Pickthall:	Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
037.108
Yusufali:	And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Pickthall:	And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
037.109
Yusufali:	"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
Pickthall:	Peace be unto Abraham!
037.110
Yusufali:	Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Pickthall:	Thus do We reward the good.
037.111
Yusufali:	For he was one of our believing Servants.
Pickthall:	Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
037.112
Yusufali:	And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.
Pickthall:	And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
037.113
Yusufali:	We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
Pickthall:	And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
037.114
Yusufali:	Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
Pickthall:	And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
037.115
Yusufali:	And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
Pickthall:	And saved them and their people from the great distress,
037.116
Yusufali:	And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
Pickthall:	And helped them so that they became the victors.
037.117
Yusufali:	And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
Pickthall:	And We gave them the clear Scripture
037.118
Yusufali:	And We guided them to the Straight Way.
Pickthall:	And showed them the right path.
037.119
Yusufali:	And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
Pickthall:	And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
037.120
Yusufali:	"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
Pickthall:	Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
037.121
Yusufali:	Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Pickthall:	Lo! thus do We reward the good.
037.122
Yusufali:	For they were two of our believing Servants.
Pickthall:	Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
037.123
Yusufali:	So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
Pickthall:	And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
037.124
Yusufali:	Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (God)?
Pickthall:	When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
037.125
Yusufali:	"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,-
Pickthall:	Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
037.126
Yusufali:	"God, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Pickthall:	Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
037.127
Yusufali:	But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
Pickthall:	But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
037.128
Yusufali:	Except the sincere and devoted Servants of God (among them).
Pickthall:	Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
037.129
Yusufali:	And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Pickthall:	And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
037.130
Yusufali:	"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
Pickthall:	Peace be unto Elias!
037.131
Yusufali:	Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Pickthall:	Lo! thus do We reward the good.
037.132
Yusufali:	For he was one of our believing Servants.
Pickthall:	Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
037.133
Yusufali:	So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
Pickthall:	And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
037.134
Yusufali:	Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
Pickthall:	When We saved him and his household, every one,
037.135
Yusufali:	Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
Pickthall:	Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
037.136
Yusufali:	Then We destroyed the rest.
Pickthall:	Then We destroyed the others.
037.137
Yusufali:	Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-
Pickthall:	And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
037.138
Yusufali:	And by night: will ye not understand?
Pickthall:	And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
037.139
Yusufali:	So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
Pickthall:	And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
037.140
Yusufali:	When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
Pickthall:	When he fled unto the laden ship,
037.141
Yusufali:	He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
Pickthall:	And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
037.142
Yusufali:	Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
Pickthall:	And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
037.143
Yusufali:	Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified God,
Pickthall:	And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
037.144
Yusufali:	He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
Pickthall:	He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
037.145
Yusufali:	But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
Pickthall:	Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
037.146
Yusufali:	And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
Pickthall:	And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
037.147
Yusufali:	And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
Pickthall:	And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
037.148
Yusufali:	And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
Pickthall:	And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
037.149
Yusufali:	Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-
Pickthall:	Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
037.150
Yusufali:	Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Pickthall:	Or created We the angels females while they were present?
037.151
Yusufali:	Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Pickthall:	Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
037.152
Yusufali:	"God has begotten children"? but they are liars!
Pickthall:	Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
037.153
Yusufali:	Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Pickthall:	(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
037.154
Yusufali:	What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
Pickthall:	What aileth you? How judge ye?
037.155
Yusufali:	Will ye not then receive admonition?
Pickthall:	Will ye not then reflect?
037.156
Yusufali:	Or have ye an authority manifest?
Pickthall:	Or have ye a clear warrant?
037.157
Yusufali:	Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
Pickthall:	Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
037.158
Yusufali:	And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!
Pickthall:	And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
037.159
Yusufali:	Glory to God! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
