لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ 61
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work
Ayahs 61–80 · Makki · 182 Ayahs · Surah 37
لِمِثۡلِ هَٰذَا فَلۡيَعۡمَلِ ٱلۡعَٰمِلُونَ 61
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work
أَذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ نُّزُلًا أَمۡ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ 62
Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهَا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ 63
Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٞ تَخۡرُجُ فِيٓ أَصۡلِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ 64
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire
طَلۡعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ 65
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils
فَإِنَّهُمۡ لَأٓكِلُونَ مِنۡهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ 66
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبٗا مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ 67
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ 68
Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire
إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ 69
Indeed they found their fathers astray
فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ 70
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ 71
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ 72
And We had already sent among them warners
فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ 73
Then look how was the end of those who were warned
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ 74
But not the chosen servants of Allah
وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ 75
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ 76
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction
وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ 77
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ 78
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٖ فِي ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 79
Peace upon Noah among the worlds
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ 80
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
