37:151

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Alaaa innahum min ifkihim la yaqooloon
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:

37:152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Waladal laahu wa innhum lakaaziboon
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.

37:153

أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Astafal banaati 'alal baneen
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?

37:154

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahkumoon
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?

37:155

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Afalaa tazakkaroon
Will you not then mind?

37:156

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Am lakum sultaanum mubeen
Or have you a clear authority?

37:157

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Faatoo bi Kitaabikum in kuntum saadiqeen
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.

37:158

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًۭا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Wa ja'aloo bainahoo wa bainal jinnati nasabaa; wa laqad 'alimatil jinnatu innahum lamuhdaroon
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

37:159

سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yasifoon
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;

37:160

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Illaa 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

37:161

فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Fa innakum wa maa ta'ubdoon
So surely you and what you worship,

37:162

مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Maaa antum 'alaihi befaaatineen
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,

37:163

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Illaa man huwa saalil jaheem
Save him who will go to hell.

37:164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
Wa maa minnasa illaa lahoo maqaamum ma'loom
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,

37:165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
Wa innaa llanah nus saaffoon
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,

37:166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Wa innaa lanah nul musabbihoon
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).

37:167

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Wa in kaanoo la yaqooloon
And surely they used to say:

37:168

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Law anna 'indana zikram minal awwaleen
Had we a reminder from those of yore,

37:169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Lakunna 'ibaadal laahil mukhlaseen
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- the purified ones.

37:170

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Fakafaroo bihee fasawfa ya'lamoon
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.

37:171

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad sabaqat Kalimatunaa li'ibaadinal mursa leen
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:

37:172

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Innaa hum lahumul mansooroon
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones

37:173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.

37:174

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Fatawalla 'anhum hatta heen
Therefore turn away from them till a time,

37:175

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absirhum fasawfa yubsiroon
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.

37:176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Afabi'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?

37:177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Fa izaa nazala bisaahatihim fasaaa'a sabaahul munzareen
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.

37:178

وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ
Wa tawalla 'anhum hattaa heen
And turn away from them till a time

37:179

وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wa absir fasawfa yubsiroon
And (then) see, for they too shall see.

37:180

سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil 'izzati 'amma yasifoon
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
