37. Safat · verses 151–157

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?

مَا لَكُمۡ كَيۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ

Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

What is the matter with you? How judge ye?

أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Afala tathakkaroona

Will ye not then receive admonition?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

Am lakum sultanun mubeenun

Or have ye an authority manifest?

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena

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