Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified God

falawlā annahu kāna mina l-musabiḥīn

37:144

لَلَبِثَ فِی بَطۡنِهِۦۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ ۝١٤٤

37:151

أَلَاۤ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝١٥١

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

Is it not that they say, from their own invention

37:152

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ ۝١٥٢

37:153

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِینَ ۝١٥٣

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons

aṣṭafā l-banāti ʿalā l-banīn

37:154

مَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ۝١٥٤

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝١٥٦

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

Or have ye an authority manifest

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝١٥٧

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَیۡنَهُۥ وَبَیۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبࣰاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ ۝١٥٨

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment- Seat)

wajaʿalū baynahu wabayna l-jinati nasaban walaqad ʿalimati l-jinatu innahum lamuḥ'ḍarūn

37:159

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا یَصِفُونَ ۝١٥٩

37:163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝١٦٣

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire
