 158. 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).

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

Vers: 163

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Vers: 164

وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

Vers: 165

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

 165. And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);

Vers: 166

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

 166. And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allâh’s Praises i.e. perform prayers).

Vers: 167

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

 167. And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:

Vers: 168

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

 168. "If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allâh),

Vers: 169

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

 169. "We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allâh (true believers of Islâmic Monotheism)!"

Vers: 170

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

 170. But (now that the Qur’ân has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur’ân and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!^[1]

(V.37:170) See the footnote (A) of (V.3:85).

Vers: 171

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

 171. And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,

Vers: 172

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

 172. That they verily would be made triumphant,

Vers: 173

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

 173. And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

 174. So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,

Vers: 175

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

 175. And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!

Vers: 176

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

 176. Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?

Vers: 177

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

 177. Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!
