بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

36:60

Children of Adam, did I not command you not to serve Satan, for he was your sworn enemy,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:61

but to serve Me? This is the straight path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:62

He has led great numbers of you astray. Did you not use your reason?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:63

So this is the Fire that you were warned against.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:64

Enter it today, because you went on ignoring [my commands].’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:65

On that Day We shall seal up their mouths, but their hands will speak to Us, and their feet bear witness to everything they have done.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:66

If it had been Our will, We could have taken away their sight. They would have struggled to find the way, but how could they have seen it?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:67

If it had been Our will, We could have paralysed them where they stood, so that they could not move forward or backward.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:68

If We extend anyone’s life, We reverse his development. Do they not use their reason?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:69

We have not taught the Prophet poetry, nor could he everhave been a poet.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:70

This is a revelation, an illuminating Quran to warn anyone who is truly alive, so that God’s verdict may be passed against the disbelievers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:71

Can they not see how, among the things made by Our hands, We have created livestock they control,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:72

and made them obedient, so that some can be used for riding, some for food,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:73

some for other benefits, and some for drink? Will they not give thanks?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:74

Yet they have taken other gods besides God to help them,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:75

though these could not do so even if they called a whole army of them together!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:76

So [Prophet] do not be distressed at what they say: We know what they conceal and what they reveal.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:77

Can man not see that We created him from a drop of fluid? Yet- lo and behold!- he disputes openly,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:78

producing arguments against Us, forgetting his own creation. He says, ‘Who can give life back to bones after they have decayed?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:79

Say, ‘He who created them in the first place will give them life again: He has full knowledge of every act of creation.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:80

It is He who produces fire for you out of the green tree- lo and behold!- and from this you kindle fire.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:81

Is He who created the heavens and earth not able to create the likes of these people? Of course He is! He is the All Knowing Creator:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:82

when He wills something to be, His way is to say, “Be”- and it is!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

36:83

So glory be to Him in whose Hand lies control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:1

By those [angels] ranged in rows,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:2

who rebuke reproachfully

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:3

and recite God’s word,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:4

truly your God is One,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:5

Lord of the heavens and earth and everything between them, Lord of every sunrise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:6

We have adorned the lowest heaven with stars,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:7

and made them a safeguard against every rebellious devil:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:8

they cannot eavesdrop on the Higher Assembly––pelted from every side,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:9

driven away, they will have perpetual torment––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:10

if any [of them] stealthily snatches away a fragment, he will be pursued by a piercing flame.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:11

So [Prophet], ask the disbelievers: is it harder to create them than other beings We have created? We created them from sticky clay.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:14

and resort to ridicule when they see a sign,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:15

saying, ‘This is no more than blatant sorcery.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:16

‘What! After we have died and become dust and bones, shall we really be raised up again,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:17

along with our forefathers?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:18

Say, ‘Yes indeed, and you will be humiliated.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:19

Just one blast and––lo and behold!––they will look

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:20

and say, ‘Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgement.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

37:21

[It will be said], ‘This is the Day of Decision, which you used to deny.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
