وَعِندَهُمۡ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرۡفِ عِينٞ

Umurongo: 50

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

 50. Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.

Umurongo: 51

قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِنِّي كَانَ لِي قَرِينٞ

 51. A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),

Umurongo: 52

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

 52. Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

Umurongo: 53

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

 53. "(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

Umurongo: 54

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

 54. (The speaker) said: "Will you look down?"

 57. "Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

Umurongo: 58

أَفَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ

 58. (The dwellers of Paradise will say) "Are we then not to die (any more)?

Umurongo: 59

إِلَّا مَوۡتَتَنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

 59. Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

Umurongo: 60

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

 60. Truly, this is the supreme success!

Umurongo: 61

لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ

 61. For the like of this let the workers work.

Umurongo: 62

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

 62. Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqûm (a horrible tree in Hell)?

Umurongo: 63

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ

 63. Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zâlimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers).

Umurongo: 64

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

 64. Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

Umurongo: 65

طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ

 65. The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayâtîn (devils);

Umurongo: 66

فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

 66. Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

Umurongo: 67

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

 67. Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqûm in their bellies).

Umurongo: 68

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

 68. Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

Umurongo: 69

إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

 69. Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;

Umurongo: 70

فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

 70. So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!

Umurongo: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 71. And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;

Umurongo: 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

 72. And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);

Umurongo: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

 73. Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).

Umurongo: 74

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 74. Except the chosen slaves of Allâh (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islâmic Monotheism).

Umurongo: 75

وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

 75. And indeed Nûh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).

Umurongo: 76

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

 76. And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),

Umurongo: 77

وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

77. And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).

Umurongo: 78

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 78. And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations:

Umurongo: 79

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 79. "Salâm (peace) be upon Nûh (Noah) (from Us) among the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!"

Umurongo: 80

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 80. Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See V.2:112).

Umurongo: 81

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 81. Verily, he [Nûh (Noah)] was one of Our believing slaves.

Umurongo: 82

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

 82. Then We drowned the others (disbelievers and polytheists).

Umurongo: 83

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

 83. And, verily, among those who followed his [Nûh’s (Noah)] way (Islâmic Monotheism) was Ibrâhîm (Abraham).

Umurongo: 84

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ

 84. When he came to his Lord with a pure heart [attached to Allâh Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allâh Alone - true Islâmic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism].

Umurongo: 85

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

 85. When he said to his father and to his people: "What is it that which you worship?

Umurongo: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

 86. "Is it a falsehood - âlihah (gods) other than Allâh - that you desire?

Umurongo: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 87. "Then what think you about the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists)?"

Umurongo: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

 88. Then he cast a glance at the stars,

Umurongo: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

 89. And he said: "Verily, I am sick^[1] (with plague). [He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan feast)]."

(V.37:89) See the footnote (C) of (V.16:121).

Umurongo: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

 90. So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).

Umurongo: 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

 91. Then he turned to their âlihah (gods) and said: "Will you not eat (of the offering before you)?

Umurongo: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

 92. "What is the matter with you that you speak not?"

Umurongo: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

 93. Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.

Umurongo: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

 94. Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.

Umurongo: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

 95. He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?

Umurongo: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

 96. "While Allâh has created you and what you make!"

Umurongo: 97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

 97. They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"

Umurongo: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

 98. So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.

Umurongo: 99

وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

 99. And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"

Umurongo: 100

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

 100. "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."

Umurongo: 101

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

 101. So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.

Umurongo: 102

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

 102. And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allâh). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Inshâ’ Allâh (if Allâh wills), you shall find me of As-Sâbirûn (the patient)."

Umurongo: 103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

103. Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allâh), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);

Umurongo: 104

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

 104. We called out to him: "O Abraham!

Umurongo: 105

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 105. You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See 2:112).

Umurongo: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

 106. Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.

Umurongo: 107

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

 107. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. كبش - a ram);

Umurongo: 108

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 108. And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

Umurongo: 109

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

 109. "Salâm (peace) be upon Ibrâhîm (Abraham)!"

Umurongo: 110

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 110. Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See V.2:112).

Umurongo: 111

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 111. Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

Umurongo: 112

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

 112. And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishâq (Isaac) - a Prophet from the righteous.

Umurongo: 113

وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ

 113. We blessed him and Ishâq (Isaac). And of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

Umurongo: 114

وَلَقَدۡ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

 114. And, indeed We gave Our Grace to Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron).

Umurongo: 115

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُمَا وَقَوۡمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

 115. And We saved them and their people from the great distress,

Umurongo: 116

وَنَصَرۡنَٰهُمۡ فَكَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

 116. And helped them, so that they became the victors;

Umurongo: 117

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَبِينَ

 117. And We gave them the clear Scripture;

Umurongo: 118

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

 118. And guided them to the Right Path.

Umurongo: 119

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 119. And We left for them (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

Umurongo: 120

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

 120. "Salâm (peace) be upon Mûsa (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)!"

Umurongo: 121

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 121. Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - See V.2:112).

Umurongo: 122

إِنَّهُمَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 122. Verily, they were two of Our believing slaves.

Umurongo: 123

وَإِنَّ إِلۡيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 123. And verily, Iliyâs (Elias) was one of the Messengers.

Umurongo: 124

إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

 124. When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allâh?

Umurongo: 125

أَتَدۡعُونَ بَعۡلٗا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ

 125. "Will you call upon Ba‘l (a well known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,

Umurongo: 126

ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 126. "Allâh, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"

Umurongo: 127

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

 127. But they denied him [Iliyâs (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),

Umurongo: 128

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 128. Except the chosen slaves of Allâh.

Umurongo: 129

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

 129. And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

Umurongo: 130

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

 130. "Salâm (peace) be upon Ilyâsîn (Elias)!"

Umurongo: 131

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

 131. Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allâh’s sake only - See V.2:112).

Umurongo: 132

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

 132. Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

Umurongo: 133

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 133. And verily, Lût (Lot) was one of the Messengers.

Umurongo: 134

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

 134. When We saved him and his family, all,

Umurongo: 135

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

 135. Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.

Umurongo: 136

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

 136. Then We destroyed the rest (the town of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea now in Palestine).

Umurongo: 137

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

 137. Verily, you pass by them in the morning

Umurongo: 138

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

 138. And at night; will you not then reflect?

Umurongo: 139

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 139. And, verily, Yûnus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.

Umurongo: 140

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

 140. When he ran to the laden ship:

Umurongo: 141

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

 141. Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.

Umurongo: 142

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

 142. Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.

Umurongo: 143

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

 143. Had he not been of them who glorify Allâh,

Umurongo: 144

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

 144. He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

Umurongo: 145

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

 145. But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

Umurongo: 146

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

 146. And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

Umurongo: 147

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

 147. And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

Umurongo: 148

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

 148. And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

Umurongo: 149

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

 149. Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

Umurongo: 150

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

 150. Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?

Umurongo: 151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

 151. Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

Umurongo: 152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

 152. "Allâh has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allâh)?" And, verily, they are liars!

Umurongo: 153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

 153. Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

Umurongo: 154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

 154. What is the matter with you? How do you decide?

Umurongo: 155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

 155. Will you not then remember?

Umurongo: 156

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

 156. Or is there for you a plain authority?

Umurongo: 157

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

 157. Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

Umurongo: 158

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

 158. And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).

Umurongo: 159

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

 159. Glorified be Allâh! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

Umurongo: 160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 160. Except the slaves of Allâh, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islâmic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allâh).

Umurongo: 161

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

 161. So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)

Umurongo: 162

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

 162. Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allâh) anyone of the believers],

Umurongo: 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

 163. Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!

Umurongo: 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

 164. And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);

Umurongo: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

 165. And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);

Umurongo: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

 166. And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allâh’s Praises i.e. perform prayers).

Umurongo: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

 167. And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:

Umurongo: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 168. "If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allâh),

Umurongo: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 169. "We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allâh (true believers of Islâmic Monotheism)!"

Umurongo: 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

 170. But (now that the Qur’ân has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur’ân and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!^[1]

(V.37:170) See the footnote (A) of (V.3:85).

Umurongo: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 171. And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,

Umurongo: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

 172. That they verily would be made triumphant,

Umurongo: 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

 173. And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.

Umurongo: 174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

 174. So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,

Umurongo: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

 175. And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!

Umurongo: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

 176. Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?

Umurongo: 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

 177. Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!

Umurongo: 178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

 178. So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,

Umurongo: 179

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

 179. And watch and they shall see (the torment)!

Umurongo: 180

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

 180. Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

Umurongo: 181

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 181. And peace be on the Messengers!

Umurongo: 182

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

 182. And all the praises and thanks be to Allâh, Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
