37:1By those [angels] lined up in rows

37:2And those who drive [the clouds]

37:3And those who recite the message,1

37:4Indeed, your God is One,

37:5Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.1

37:6Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

37:7And as protection against every rebellious devil

37:8[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,1

37:9Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

37:10Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

37:11Then inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created them [i.e., men] from sticky clay.

37:12But you wonder, while they mock,

37:13And when they are reminded, they remember not.

37:14And when they see a sign, they ridicule.

37:15And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

37:16When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

37:17And our forefathers [as well]?"

37:18Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

37:19It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

37:20They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

37:21[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

37:22[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds,1 and what they used to worship

37:23Other than Allāh, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

37:24And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
