As-Saffat 37:154–162

37:154Page 452

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ١٥٤

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?

37:155Page 452

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٥٥

Then will you not be reminded?

37:156Page 452

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٥٦

Or do you have a clear authority?¹

37:157Page 452

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٥٧

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

37:158Page 452

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ١٥٨

And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

37:159Page 452

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٥٩

Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

37:160Page 452

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٠

Except the chosen servants of Allāh [who do not share in that sin].

37:161Page 452

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ١٦١

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

37:162Page 452

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ ١٦٢

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
