وَ الَّذِیْ نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ ۚ فَاَنْشَرْنَا بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّیْتًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُوْنَ۝۱۱

Who sent down water in due measure from the sky, then quickened a region that was dead -- So shall We bring you forth --

وَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ الْاَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْفُلْكِ وَ الْاَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُوْنَۙ۝۱۲

He who created pairs of everything, and fashioned for you boats and beasts on which you ride,

لِتَسْتَوٗا عَلٰی ظُهُوْرِهٖ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ اِذَا اسْتَوَیْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ وَ تَقُوْلُوْا سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٰذَا وَ مَا كُنَّا لَهٗ مُقْرِنِیْنَۙ۝۱۳

So that when you sit astride of them and think of the bounties of your Lord, you may say: "All glory to Him who subjugated these for us. We were incapable of doing so.

وَ اِنَّاۤ اِلٰی رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ۝۱۴

Surely we have to go back to our Lord."

وَ جَعَلُوْا لَهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ جُزْءًا ؕ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَكَفُوْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌؕ۠۝۱۵

Yet they make some of His creatures His offspring! Man is surely most ungrateful.

اَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا یَخْلُقُ بَنٰتٍ وَّ اَصْفٰىكُمْ بِالْبَنِیْنَ۝۱۶

Or has He taken from those He has created daughters for Himself, and assigned sons to you?

وَ اِذَا بُشِّرَ اَحَدُهُمْ بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهٗ مُسْوَدًّا وَّ هُوَ كَظِیْمٌ۝۱۷

Yet when news of (a daughter) they had reserved for Ar-Rahman comes to one of them, his face is blackened (with shame), and he grieves in silence inwardly.

اَوَ مَنْ یُّنَشَّؤُا فِی الْحِلْیَةِ وَ هُوَ فِی الْخِصَامِ غَیْرُ مُبِیْنٍ۝۱۸

Can one who has been raised on ornaments and cannot present her case coolly in a dispute (be associated with God?)

وَ جَعَلُوا الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ عِبٰدُ الرَّحْمٰنِ اِنَاثًا ؕ اَشَهِدُوْا خَلْقَهُمْ ؕ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَ یُسْـَٔلُوْنَ۝۱۹

Yet they have made the angels, who are creatures of Ar-Rahman, females. Did they witness their creation? We shall record their testimony, and they will be interrogated.

وَ قَالُوْا لَوْ شَآءَ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنٰهُمْ ؕ مَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۗ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَخْرُصُوْنَؕ۝۲۰

Yet they say: "If Ar-Rahman had so pleased we would not have worshipped them." They have no knowledge of it in the least. They only make up lies.
