فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ 37:141

And then drew lots and was of those rejected;

فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ 37:142

Faltaqamahu alhootu wahuwamuleem

And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ 37:143

Falawla annahu kana minaalmusabbiheen

لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ 37:144

Lalabitha fee batnihi ilayawmi yubAAathoon

۞ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ 37:145

Fanabathnahu bilAAara-iwahuwa saqeem

Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan minyaqteen

And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;

Waarsalnahu ila mi-ati alfinaw yazeedoon

فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ 37:148

Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ilaheen

And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

Fastaftihim alirabbika albanatuwalahumu albanoon

Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?

(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.

مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ 37:154

Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoon

What aileth you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ 37:155

Afala tathakkaroon

Will ye not then reflect?

أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَـٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ 37:156

Am lakum sultanun mubeen

Or have ye a clear warrant?

فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَـٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ 37:157

Fa/too bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeen

Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.

وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ 37:158

سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 37:159

Subhana Allahi AAammayasifoon

Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 37:160

Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.

إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 37:163

Illa man huwa sali aljaheem

Save him who is to burn in hell.

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ 37:164

Wama minna illa lahumaqamun maAAloom

There is not one of us but hath his known position.

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ 37:165

Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ 37:166

Wa-inna lanahnu almusabbihoon

Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise

وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ 37:167

Wa-in kanoo layaqooloon

And indeed they used to say:

لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ 37:168

Law anna AAindana thikranmina al-awwaleen

If we had but a reminder from the men of old

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ 37:169

Lakunna AAibada Allahialmukhlaseen

We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.

فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ 37:170

Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoon

Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.

وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ 37:171

Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadinaalmursaleen

And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ 37:172

Innahum lahumu almansooroon

Wa-inna jundana lahumu alghaliboon

And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 37:174

Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heen

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,

وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ 37:175

And watch, for they will (soon) see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ 37:176

AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloon

Would they hasten on Our doom?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ 37:177

Fa-itha nazala bisahatihimfasaa sabahu almunthareen
