بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
Behold, it is one of their fabrications that they say:
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon
“Allah has begotten.” They are liars!
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati 'alal baneen
Did He choose daughters rather than sons?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What is the matter with you that you make such strange judgements?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Will you then not take heed?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Do you have any clear authority for such claims?
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Bring your Book, if you are truthful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
They have established a kinship between Allah and the angels; and the angels know well that these people will be arraigned (as culprits).
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon
(They say): “Exalted be Allah above what they attribute to Him,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
all of them except the chosen servants of Allah.
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon
So you and your deities
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen
shall not be able to tempt anyone away from Allah
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
except him who shall roast in the Blazing Fire.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom
As for us, there is none but has an appointed station.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon
Verily we range ourselves in rows (as humble servants)
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
and we are of those who glorify Allah.”
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
They used to say before:
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen
“If only we had the Reminder which had been granted to the people of yore
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
we would surely have been Allah's chosen servants.”
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon
But when it came to them, they rejected it. They shall soon come to know (the end of such an attitude).
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen
We have already given Our promise to Our Messengers
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
that they shall certainly be succoured,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
and that Our hosts shall triumph.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen
So, (O Prophet), leave them alone for a while,
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
and see, and soon they too shall see.
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
Do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen
When that chastisement will descend upon their courtyard, evil shall that Day be for those who had been warned.
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen
Leave them alone for a while,
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
and see; and they too shall soon see.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon
Exalted be your Lord, the Lord of Glory, above what they attribute to Him,
Meccan
