As-Saffat 37:151–161

37:151Page 451

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ ١٥١

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

37:152Page 451

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ١٥٢

"Allāh has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

37:153Page 451

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ ١٥٣

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

37:154–161Page 452

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ١٥٤

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

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ١٥٥

Then will you not be reminded?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٥٦

Or do you have a clear authority?¹

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٥٧

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

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].

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ١٥٩

Exalted is Allāh above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ ١٦٠

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

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ ١٦١

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