37. Safat · verses 149–153

فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona

Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-

أَمۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثٗا وَهُمۡ شَٰهِدُونَ

Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona

Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?

أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنۡ إِفۡكِهِمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ

Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona

Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona

"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!

أَصۡطَفَى ٱلۡبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلۡبَنِينَ

Astafa albanati AAala albaneena

Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
