37. Surah As-Saaffaat

فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَ لَهُمُ الْبَنُوْنَۙ ﴿١٤٩﴾Open ayah 37:149 in the Quran reader

Just ask the people 86 (whether it appeals to them) that their Lord should have daughters and they should have sons! 87

اَمْ خَلَقْنَا الْمَلٰٓئِكَةَ اِنَاثًا وَّ هُمْ شٰهِدُوْنَ ﴿١٥٠﴾Open ayah 37:150 in the Quran reader

Have We really created the angels females and they are eye-witnesses of it?

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ مِّنْ اِفْكِهِمْ لَیَقُوْلُوْنَۙ ﴿١٥١﴾Open ayah 37:151 in the Quran reader

Note it well: they, in fact, invent a falsehood when they say,

وَلَدَ اللّٰهُ١ۙ وَ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ﴿١٥٢﴾Open ayah 37:152 in the Quran reader

"Allah has children." They are utter liars.

اَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِیْنَؕ ﴿١٥٣﴾Open ayah 37:153 in the Quran reader

Did Allah choose daughters for Himself instead of sons?

مَا لَكُمْ١۫ كَیْفَ تَحْكُمُوْنَ ﴿١٥٤﴾Open ayah 37:154 in the Quran reader

What is the matter with you? How you judge?

اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَۚ ﴿١٥٥﴾Open ayah 37:155 in the Quran reader

Will you not have sense?

اَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطٰنٌ مُّبِیْنٌۙ ﴿١٥٦﴾Open ayah 37:156 in the Quran reader

Or, if you have a clear authority for this,

فَاْتُوْا بِكِتٰبِكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ﴿١٥٧﴾Open ayah 37:157 in the Quran reader

then bring your Book if you are truthful. 88

وَ جَعَلُوْا بَیْنَهٗ وَ بَیْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا١ؕ وَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ اِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُوْنَۙ ﴿١٥٨﴾Open ayah 37:158 in the Quran reader

They have invented a blood-relationship between Allah and the angels, 89 whereas the angels know full well that these people will be brought up as culprits.

سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَۙ ﴿١٥٩﴾Open ayah 37:159 in the Quran reader

(And they say :) "Allah is free from the things which the other people

اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ ﴿١٦٠﴾Open ayah 37:160 in the Quran reader

than His true servants attribute to Him.

فَاِنَّكُمْ وَ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَۙ ﴿١٦١﴾Open ayah 37:161 in the Quran reader

Therefore you and your gods

مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ بِفٰتِنِیْنَۙ ﴿١٦٢﴾Open ayah 37:162 in the Quran reader

cannot turn anyone from Allah,

اِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِیْمِ ﴿١٦٣﴾Open ayah 37:163 in the Quran reader

except him who shall burn in the blazing Fire of Hell. 90

وَ مَا مِنَّاۤ اِلَّا لَهٗ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌۙ ﴿١٦٤﴾Open ayah 37:164 in the Quran reader

As for ourselves, each one of us has an appointed place, 91

وَّ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّآفُّوْنَۚ ﴿١٦٥﴾Open ayah 37:165 in the Quran reader

and we are the ranged servants

وَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْمُسَبِّحُوْنَ ﴿١٦٦﴾Open ayah 37:166 in the Quran reader

and the glorifiers (of Allah)."

وَ اِنْ كَانُوْا لَیَقُوْلُوْنَۙ ﴿١٦٧﴾Open ayah 37:167 in the Quran reader

Before this they used to say,

لَوْ اَنَّ عِنْدَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ الْاَوَّلِیْنَۙ ﴿١٦٨﴾Open ayah 37:168 in the Quran reader

"If we had the 'Admonition' which the earlier people had received,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ ﴿١٦٩﴾Open ayah 37:169 in the Quran reader

we would have been the chosen servants of Allah. " 92

فَكَفَرُوْا بِهٖ فَسَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ ﴿١٧٠﴾Open ayah 37:170 in the Quran reader

But (when it did come) they denied it. Now, they will soon come to know (the consequences of this attitude).

وَ لَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِیْنَۚۖ ﴿١٧١﴾Open ayah 37:171 in the Quran reader

We have already promised Our servants

اِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنْصُوْرُوْنَ۪ ﴿١٧٢﴾Open ayah 37:172 in the Quran reader

whom We sent that they would certainly be helped,

وَ اِنَّ جُنْدَنَا لَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ﴿١٧٣﴾Open ayah 37:173 in the Quran reader

and Our army alone would be triumphant. 93

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى حِیْنٍۙ ﴿١٧٤﴾Open ayah 37:174 in the Quran reader

Therefore, O Prophet, leave them for a while to themselves

وَّ اَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ یُبْصِرُوْنَ ﴿١٧٥﴾Open ayah 37:175 in the Quran reader

and watch (them); soon they will see it for themselves. 94

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ ﴿١٧٦﴾Open ayah 37:176 in the Quran reader

Are they clamouring for our torment?

فَاِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِیْنَ ﴿١٧٧﴾Open ayah 37:177 in the Quran reader

The day when it descends in their courtyards, will be a dreadful day for those who have been warned.

وَ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتّٰى حِیْنٍۙ ﴿١٧٨﴾Open ayah 37:178 in the Quran reader

So leave them alone for a while

وَّ اَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ یُبْصِرُوْنَ ﴿١٧٩﴾Open ayah 37:179 in the Quran reader

and watch ; soon they will themselves see.

سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَۚ ﴿١٨٠﴾Open ayah 37:180 in the Quran reader

Glorified is your Lord, Lord of Honour, (and free) from all that they attribute to Him.,

وَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِیْنَۚ ﴿١٨١﴾Open ayah 37:181 in the Quran reader

and peace on the Messengers,

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۠ ﴿١٨٢﴾Open ayah 37:182 in the Quran reader

and all praise is only for Allah, Lord of the Universe.
