37.1 . By those who set the ranks in battle order
37.2 . And those who drive away ( the wicked ) with reproof
37.3 . And those who read ( the Word ) for a reminder ,
37.4 . Lo! thy Lord is surely One .
37.5 . Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them , and Lord of the sun ' s risings .
37.6 . Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament , the planets :
37.7 . With security from every froward devil .
37.8 . They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side ,
37.9 . Outcast , and theirs is a perpetual torment ;
37.10 . Save him who snatcheth a fragment , and there pursueth him a piercing flame .
37.11 . Then ask them ( O Muhammad ) : Are they stronger as a creation , or those ( others ) whom We have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay .
37.12 . Nay , but thou dost marvel when they mock
37.13 . And heed not when they are reminded ,
37.14 . And seek to scoff when they behold a portent
37.15 . And they say : lo! this is mere magic ;
37.16 . When we are dead and have become dust and bones , shall we then , forsooth , be raised ( again ) ?
37.17 . And our forefathers?
37.18 . Say ( O Muhammad ) : Yea , in truth ; and ye will be brought low .
37.19 . There is but one Shout , and lo! they behold
37.20 . And say : Ah , woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment .
