Sura 37: AS-SAAFFAT (THOSE WHO SET THE RANKS) - Juz' 23 - Translation Shakir

أَصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ ﴿۱۵۳﴾
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons? (153)
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ﴿۱۵۴﴾
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge? (154)
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿۱۵۵﴾
Will you not then mind? (155)
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَانٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۵۶﴾
Or have you a clear authority? (156)
فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابِكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿۱۵۷﴾
Then bring your book, if you are truthful (157)
وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ ﴿۱۵۸﴾
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up; (158)
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿۱۵۹﴾
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe; (159)
إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿۱۶۰﴾
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones (160)
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۱۶۱﴾
So surely you and what you worship, (161)
مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ ﴿۱۶۲﴾
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial, (162)
