What is the matter with you? How do you decide? (154) Will you not then
remember? (155) Or is there for you a plain authority? (156) Then bring your Book
if you are truthful! (157) 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 brought for account). (158) Glorified is Allâh! (He is Free) from what
they attribute unto Him! (159) Except the slaves of Allâh, whom He choses
(for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islâmic Monotheism who do not attribute
false things unto Allâh). (160) So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you
worship (idols) (161) Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allâh) anyone of the
believers], (162) Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell! (163) And there is not one
of us (angels) but has his known place (or position); (164) Verily, we (angels),
we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your
prayers); (165) And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allâh's
Praises i.e. perform prayers). (166) And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say; (167) "If we had a
reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW as a
Messenger of Allâh). (168) "We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of
Allâh (true believers of Islâmic Monotheism)!" (169) But (now that the
Qur'ân has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur'ân and in Prophet
Muhammad SAW , and all that he brought, the Divine Revelation), so they will
come to know! (170) And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the
Messengers, (171) That they verily would be made triumphant. (172) And that Our hosts,
they verily would be the victors. (173) So turn away (O Muhammad SAW) from them for a
while, (174) And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)! (175) Do they seek to
hasten on Our Torment? (176) Then, when it descends into their courtyard (i.e. near to
them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned! (177) So turn (O Muhammad
SAW) away from them for a while, (178) And watch and they shall see (the torment)! (179) Glorified is your
Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto
Him! (180) And peace be on the Messengers! (181) And all the praises
and thanks are to Allâh, Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that
exists). (182)
