P:  By those who set the ranks in battle order

S:  I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks

037.002 Y:  And so are strong in repelling (evil),

P:  And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof

S:  Then those who drive away with reproof,

037.003 Y:  And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!

P:  And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,

S:  Then those who recite, being mindful,

037.004 Y:  Verily, verily, your Allah is one!-

P:  Lo! thy Lord is surely One;

S:  Most surely your Allah is One: 

037.005 Y:  Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!

P:  Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun’s risings.

S:  The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.

037.006 Y:  We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,-

P:  Lo!  We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;

S:  Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,

S:  And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.

037.008 Y:  (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,

P:  They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,

P:  Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;

S:  Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,

037.010 Y:  Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.

P:  Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.

S:  Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.

037.012 Y:  Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,

P:  Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
