passage 624 of 866 · Chapter 1: > Chapter 37: (11/11)

in brief
The warnings intensify: the rejected will see punishment arrive like a disastrous morning, prophets are told to turn away for a time and watch, and the chapter closes with glorification and peace.

037.177 Y: But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!

P: But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morning for those who have been warned.

S: But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.

037.178 Y: So turn thou away from them for a little while,

P: Withdraw from them awhile

S: And turn away from them till a time

037.179 Y: And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!

P: And watch, for they will (soon) see.

S: And (then) see, for they too shall see.

037.180 Y: Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!

P: Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)

S: Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.

037.181 Y: And Peace on the messengers!

P: And peace be unto those sent (to warn).

S: And peace be on the messengers.

037.182 Y: And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.

P: And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!

S: And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
