وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

(37:164) As for us, there is none but has an appointed station.1


وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

(37:165) Verily we range ourselves in rows (as humble servants)


وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

(37:166) and we are of those who glorify Allah.”


وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

(37:167) They used to say before:


لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

(37:168) “If only we had the Reminder which had been granted to the people
of yore


لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

(37:169) we would surely have been Allah's chosen servants.”2


فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

(37:170) But when it came to them, they rejected it. They shall soon come
to know (the end of such an attitude).


وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(37:171) We have already given Our promise to Our Messengers
