Ayahs 141–160 · Makki · 182 Ayahs · Surah 37

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ 141

And he drew lots and was among the losers

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ 142

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ 143

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ 144

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected

فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ 145

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ 146

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ 147

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more

فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ 148

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ 149

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ 150

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ 151

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

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ 152

Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ 153

Has He chosen daughters over sons

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ 154

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

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ 155

Then will you not be reminded

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ 156

Or do you have a clear authority

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ 157

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ 158

And they have 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 159

Exalted is Allah above what they describe

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ 160

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