لَلَبِثَ في بَطنِهِ إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.

فَنَبَذناهُ بِالعَراءِ وَهُوَ سَقيمٌ

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

وَأَنبَتنا عَلَيهِ شَجَرَةً مِن يَقطينٍ

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.

وَأَرسَلناهُ إِلىٰ مِائَةِ أَلفٍ أَو يَزيدونَ

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

فَآمَنوا فَمَتَّعناهُم إِلىٰ حينٍ

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

أَم خَلَقنَا المَلائِكَةَ إِناثًا وَهُم شاهِدونَ

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"

أَلا إِنَّهُم مِن إِفكِهِم لَيَقولونَ

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,

وَلَدَ اللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.

أَصطَفَى البَناتِ عَلَى البَنينَ

Has He chosen daughters over sons?

ما لَكُم كَيفَ تَحكُمونَ

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
