Indeed We created them, that is, their origin, Adam, from a viscous clay, that sticks to the hand.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn They said, amongst themselves: ‘Build for him a structure, then fill it with firewood and set it on fire, and when it is ablaze, then cast him into the fierce fire’. | | 37:98 | Transliteration Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumual-asfaleen Sahih International And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased. Muhsin Khan So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest. Yusuf Ali (This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated! Dr. Ghali So they were willing to devise a plot against him; yet We made them the basest. Tafsir al-Jalalayn So they sought to outwit him, by flinging him into the fire, so that it may destroy him, but We made them the lowermost, the vanquished, as he came out of the fire unharmed. | | 37:99 | Transliteration Waqala innee thahibun ilarabbee sayahdeen Sahih International And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

Dr. Ghali And he said, "Surely I am going to my Lord, soon He will guide me. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And he said, ‘I shall indeed depart to my Lord, I shall emigrating to Him from the abode of disbelief — He will guide me, to the place to which My Lord has commanded that I end up in, and this was Syria. When he reached the Holy Land, he said: | | 37:100 | Transliteration Rabbi hablee mina assaliheen Sahih International My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous." Muhsin Khan "My Lord!

He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast." Muhsin Khan 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 (offer you in sacrifice to Allah), so look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah will), you shall find me of As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)." Yusuf Ali 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 Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!" Dr. Ghali Then when he (His son) reached the age of endeavoring with him, he said, "O my son, surely I see in a dream (Literally: time of sleeping) that I should slay you; so, look, what do you see?" He said, "O my (dear) father, perform whatever you are commanded; you will soon find me, in case Allah (so) decides, among the patient." Tafsir al-Jalalayn And when he was old enough to walk with him, that is, to go about with him and help him out — this is said to have been [either] at the age of seven or at the age of thirteen — he said, ‘O my dear son, I see, that is, I have seen, in a dream that I shall sacrifice you — and the visions of prophets are [always] true and their actions are [inspired] by the command of God, exalted be He. So see what you think’, of this dream. He consulted him so that he [his son] might accept the idea of being sacrificed and comply with the command for it. He said, ‘O my father (the [final] t?’ [in abati] replaces the y?’ of the genitive [possessive] annexation [y? ab?]) do whatever you have been commanded, to do. You shall find me, God willing, of the steadfast’, in this [affair]. | | 37:103 | Transliteration Falamma aslama watallahuliljabeen Sahih International And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead, Muhsin Khan Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering); Yusuf Ali So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), Dr. Ghali So, as soon as they had both surrendered, and he dashed him upon his brow. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And when they had both submitted, [when] they had submitted to and were prepared to comply with God’s command, exalted be He, and he had laid him down on his forehead, [when] he had pushed him down to the ground thereon — every human being has two brows (jab?n) between which is the forehead (jabha); this was at Min?.

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. Muhsin Khan You have fulfilled the dream (vision)!" Verily! Thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V.2:112). Yusuf Ali "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right. Dr. Ghali you have already sincerely (believed) in the vision; surely thus We recompense the fair-doers. Tafsir al-Jalalayn Verily you have fulfilled the vision’, by what you have done, in that you were able to go through with the act of sacrifice. In other words, that [which you have done] suffices for you [as redemption] (the statement n?dayn?hu, ‘We called to him’, is the response to the lamm?, ‘when’, so that the w?w [in wa-n?dayn?hu, ‘We called to him’] is extra). So, in the same way that We have rewarded you, do We reward those who are virtuous, to their own souls in obeying the Command [of God], by removing from them their distress. | | 37:106 | Transliteration Inna hatha lahuwa albalaoalmubeen Sahih International Indeed, this was the clear trial.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn Then We ransomed him, the one whom he had been commanded to sacrifice, namely, Ishmael or Isaac — two different opinions — with a mighty sacrifice, [a mighty] ram from Paradise, the same one that Abel had offered as as sacrifice: Gabriel, peace be upon him, brought it and the lord Abraham sacrificed it as he cried, All?hu akbar, ‘God is Great’. | | 37:108 | Transliteration Watarakna AAalayhi fee al-akhireen Sahih International And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations: Muhsin Khan And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times.

Dr. Ghali And We gave him the good tidings of Ishaq, (Isaac) a Prophet, one of the righteous. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And We gave him the good tidings of [the birth of] Isaac — some have argued that this proves that the one who was sacrificed was not him [Isaac] — a prophet (nabiyyan is a future circumstantial qualifier, that is to say, ‘he will come to be, with his prophethood decreed), one of the righteous. | | 37:113 | Transliteration Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAalaishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinunwathalimun linafsihi mubeen Sahih International And We blessed him and Isaac.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn So ask them, inquire of the Meccan disbelievers, by way of reproach: are daughters to be for your Lord, after their claim that the angels were God’s daughters, while sons are to be for them?, so that the best becomes exclusively theirs? | | 37:150 | Transliteration Am khalaqna almala-ikata inathanwahum shahidoon Sahih International Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

Dr. Ghali Or even did We create the Angels females, and they were witnesses?" Tafsir al-Jalalayn Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?, to Our [act of] creation, that they might then say such a thing? | | 37:151 | Transliteration Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloon Sahih International Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say, Muhsin Khan Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say: Yusuf Ali Is it not that they say, from their own invention, Dr. Ghali Verily, surely it is of their falsehood, indeed, (that) they say, Tafsir al-Jalalayn Lo! it is indeed out of their [own] mendacity, their [own] lies, that they say, | | 37:152 | Transliteration Walada Allahu wa-innahum lakathiboon Sahih International " Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars. Muhsin Khan "Allah has begotten off spring or children (i.e. angels are the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars! Yusuf Ali "Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars! Dr. Ghali " Allah has begotten!" And surely they are liars indeed. Tafsir al-Jalalayn ‘God has begotten’, when they say that the angels are God’s daughters. And verily they are liars, in this [respect]. | | 37:153 | Transliteration Astafa albanati AAalaalbaneen Sahih International Has He chosen daughters over sons? Muhsin Khan Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons? Yusuf Ali Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons? Dr. Ghali Has he elected daughters above sons? Tafsir al-Jalalayn Has He preferred daughters to sons? (read a’staf?, ‘has He preferred’, indicating an interrogative [hamza], which stands in place of the omitted conjunctive hamza). | | 37:154 | Transliteration Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoon Sahih International What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement? Muhsin Khan What is the matter with you? How do you decide? Yusuf Ali What is the matter with you? How judge ye? Dr. Ghali How is it with you, how do you judge?

Muhsin Khan Or is there for you a plain authority? Yusuf Ali Or have ye an authority manifest? Dr. Ghali Or even do you have an evident all- binding authority? Tafsir al-Jalalayn Or do you have a clear warrant?, plain definitive proof that God has a child? | | 37:157 | Transliteration Fa/too bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeen Sahih International Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful. Muhsin Khan Then bring your Book if you are truthful! Yusuf Ali Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful! Dr. Ghali Then come up with your Book, in case you are sincere. Tafsir al-Jalalayn Then produce your scripture, the Torah, and show Me this [as it is mentioned] in it, if you are being truthful, about this statement of yours. | | 37:158 | Transliteration WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnatinasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon Sahih International 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]. Muhsin Khan And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts). Yusuf Ali 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)! Dr. Ghali And they have made up a consanguity between Him and the jinn; and indeed the jinn already know that surely they will indeed be presented forward. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And they, namely, the idolaters, have set up between Him, exalted be He, and the jinn, namely, the angels (jinna: they are so called because they are hidden [ijtin?n] from vision) a kinship, by saying that they are God’s daughters, while the jinn certainly know that they, that is, those who say this, shall indeed be arraigned, into the Fire, to be chastised therein. | | 37:159 | Transliteration Subhana Allahi AAammayasifoon Sahih International Exalted is Allah above what they describe, Muhsin Khan Glorified is Allah!

Yusuf Ali Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted. Dr. Ghali Except (for) the most faithful bondmen of Allah. Tafsir al-Jalalayn — [all] except God’s devoted servants, namely, believers (the exceptive clause here is discontinuous) in other words, [that is] because they declare that God transcends what such individuals attribute [to Him]. | | 37:161 | Transliteration Fa-innakum wama taAAbudoon Sahih International So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship, Muhsin Khan So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols).

Muhsin Khan Verily, we (angels), we stand in rows for the prayers (as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers); Yusuf Ali "And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service); Dr. Ghali And surely we, indeed we, are the ones ranged in ranks, Tafsir al-Jalalayn And indeed it is we who are the rangers, of our feet in prayer. | | 37:166 | Transliteration Wa-inna lanahnu almusabbihoon Sahih International And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah ."

Dr. Ghali And surely we, indeed we, are the extollers (of Allah)."

Muhsin Khan "We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!" Yusuf Ali "We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!" Dr. Ghali Indeed we would be the most faithful bondmen of Allah."

Muhsin Khan But (now that the Quran has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Quran and in Prophet Muhammad SAW , and all that which he brought, the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know! Yusuf Ali But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know! Dr. Ghali Yet they disbelieved in it; then eventually they will know! Tafsir al-Jalalayn God, exalted be He, says: Yet they disbelieved in it, in other words, in the Book that came to them, namely, the Qur’?n, more glorious than [all] those other scriptures; but they will come to know, the consequences of their disbelief. | | 37:171 | Transliteration Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadinaalmursaleen Sahih International And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers, Muhsin Khan And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers, Yusuf Ali Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us), Dr. Ghali And indeed Our Word has already gone before to Our bondmen, the Emissaries. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And verily Our Word, [containing the promise] of victory, has gone beforehand in favour of Our servants, the messengers: and that [Word] is, I shall assuredly prevail, I and My messengers [Q. 58:21] — | | 37:172 | Transliteration Innahum lahumu almansooroon Sahih International [That] indeed, they would be those given victory Muhsin Khan That they verily would be made triumphant.

Muhsin Khan Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment? Yusuf Ali Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment? Dr. Ghali Do they then seek to hasten Our torment? Tafsir al-Jalalayn They then said in mockery, ‘When will this chastisement be sent down?’ God, exalted be He, threatens them by saying: Do they seek to hasten Our chastisement? | | 37:177 | Transliteration Fa-itha nazala bisahatihimfasaa sabahu almunthareen Sahih International But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned. Muhsin Khan Then, when it descends into their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned! Yusuf Ali But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)! Dr. Ghali So when it comes down in their courtyard, then how odious will be the morning of them that are constantly warned! Tafsir al-Jalalayn But when it descends in their courtyard — al-Farr?’ said that the Arabs find it sufficient to refer to a people by referring to ‘their courtyard’ — how awful, how terrible a morning, will be the morning for those who were warned (the overt noun [al-mundhar?n] has replaced the [third person] pronominalisation [in s?hatihim]). | | 37:178 | Transliteration Watawalla AAanhum hatta heen Sahih International And leave them for a time.
