Surah 37

Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.

Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.

Had he not been of them who glorify Allâh,

He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?

Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

"Allâh has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allâh)?" And, verily, they are liars!

Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

What is the matter with you? How do you decide?

Will you not then remember?

Or is there for you a plain authority?

Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).

Glorified be Allâh! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

Except the slaves of Allâh, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islâmic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allâh).
