What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
37:154
Will you not then be mindful?
37:155
Or do you have ˹any˺ compelling proof?
37:156
Then bring ˹us˺ your scripture, if what you say is true!
37:157
They have also established a ˹marital˺ relationship between Him and the jinn. Yet the jinn ˹themselves˺ know well that such people will certainly be brought ˹for punishment˺.1
37:158
Glorified is Allah far above what they claim!
37:159
But not the chosen servants of Allah.
37:160
Surely you ˹pagans˺ and whatever ˹idols˺ you worship
37:161
can never lure ˹anyone˺ away from Him
37:162
except those ˹destined˺ to burn in Hell.
37:163
˹The angels respond,˺ “There is not one of us without an assigned station ˹of worship˺.
37:164
We are indeed the ones lined up in ranks ˹for Allah˺.
37:165
And we are indeed the ones ˹constantly˺ glorifying ˹His praise˺.”
37:166
They certainly used to say,
37:167
“If only we had a Reminder like ˹those of˺ earlier peoples,1
37:168
we would have truly been Allah’s devoted servants.”
37:169
But ˹now˺ they reject it, so they will soon know.
37:170
Our Word has already gone forth to Our servants, the messengers,
37:171
that they would surely be helped,
37:172
and that Our forces will certainly prevail.
37:173
So turn away from the deniers for a while ˹O Prophet˺.
37:174
You will see ˹what will happen to˺ them, and they too will see!
37:175
Do they ˹really˺ wish to hasten Our punishment?
37:176
Yet when it descends upon them:1 how evil will that morning be for those who had been warned!
37:177
And turn away from them for a while.
37:178
You will see, and they too will see!
37:179
Glorified is your Lord—the Lord of Honour and Power—above what they claim!
37:180
Peace be upon the messengers.
37:181
And praise be to Allah—Lord of all worlds.
