Wa-inna yoonusa lamina almursaleena\n139. So also was Jonah\n Among those sent (by Us).\n140. Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni\n140. When he ran away\n (Like a slave from captivity)\n To the ship (fully) laden,\n141. Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena\n141. He (agreed to) cast lots,\n And he was condemned:\n142. Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun\n142. Then the big Fish\n Did swallow him,\n And he had done\n Acts worthy of blame.\n143. Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena\n143. Had it not been\n That he (repented and)\n Glorified God,\n144. Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona\n144. He would certainly have\n Remained inside the Fish\n Till the Day of Resurrection.\n145. Fanabathnahu bialAAara-i wahuwa saqeemun\n145. But We cast him forth\n On the naked shore\n In a state of sickness,\n146. Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin\n146. And We caused to grow,\n Over him, a spreading plant\n Of the Gourd kind.\n147. Waarsalnahu ila mi-ati alfin aw yazeedoona\n147. And We sent him\n (On a mission)\n To a hundred thousand\n (Men) or more.\n148. Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin\n148. And they believed;\n So We permitted them\n To enjoy (their life)\n For a while.\n149. Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona\n149. Now ask them their opinion:\n Is it that thy Lord\n Has (only) daughters, and they\n Have sons?\u2014\n150. Am khalaqna almala-ikata inathan wahum shahidoona\n150. Or that We created\n The angels female, and they\n Are witnesses (thereto)?\n151. Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona\n151. Is it not that they\n Say, from their own invention,\n152. Walada Allahu wa-innahum lakathiboona\n152. \"God has begotten children\"?\n But they are liars!\n153. Astafa albanati AAala albaneena\n153. Did He (then) choose\n Daughters rather than sons?\n154. Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona\n154. What is the matter\n With you? How judge ye?\n155. Will ye not then\n Receive admonition?\n156. Am lakum sultanun mubeenun\n156. Or have ye\n An authority manifest?\n157. Fa/too bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena\n157. Then bring ye your Book\n (Of authority) if ye be\n Truthful!\n158. WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona\n158. And they have invented\n A blood-relationship\n Between Him and the Jinns:\n But the Jinns know\n (Quite well) that they\n Have indeed to appear\n (Before His Judgment-seat)!\n159. Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona\n159. Glory to God! (He is free)\n From the things they ascribe\n (To Him)!\n160. Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena\n160. Not (so do) the Servants\n Of God, sincere and devoted.\n161. Fa-innakum wama taAAbudoona\n161. For, verily, neither ye\n Nor those ye worship\u2014\n162. Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineena\n162. Can lead (any)\n Into temptation\n Concerning God,\n163. Illa man huwa sali aljaheemi\n163. Except such as are\n (Themselves) going to\n The blazing Fire!\n164. Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun\n164. (Those ranged in ranks say):\n \"Not one of us but has\n A place appointed;\n165. Wa-inna lanahnu alssaffoona\n165. \"And we are verily\n Ranged in ranks (for service);\n166. Wa-inna lanahnu almusabbihoona\n166. \"And we are verily those\n Who declare (God's) glory!\"\n167. And there were those\n Who said,\n168. Law anna AAindana thikran mina al-awwaleena\n168. \"If only we had had\n Before us a Message\n From those of old,\n169. Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena\n169. \"We should certainly have\n Been Servants of God,\n Sincere (and devoted)!\"\n170. Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona\n170. But (now that the Qur-\u0101n\n Has come), they reject it:\n But soon will they know!\n171. Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena\n171. Already has Our Word\n Been passed before (this)\n To Our Servants sent (by Us),\n172. Innahum lahumu almansooroona\n172. That they would certainly\n Be assisted,\n173. Wa-inna jundana lahumu alghaliboona\n173. And that Our forces,\u2014\n They surely must conquer.\n174. Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin\n174. So turn thou away\n From them for a little while,\n175. Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona\n175. And watch them (how\n They fare), and they soon\n Shall see (how thou farest)!\n176. AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona\n176. Do they wish (indeed)\n To hurry on our Punishment?\n177. Fa-itha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena\n177. But when it descends\n Into the open space\n Before them, evil will be\n The morning for those who\n Were warned (and heeded not)!\n178. Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin\n178. So turn thou away\n From them for a little while,\n179. Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona\n179. And watch (how they fare)\n And they soon shall see\n (How thou farest)!\n180. Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona\n180. Glory to thy Lord,\n The Lord of Honour\n And Power! (He is free)\n From what they ascribe\n (To Him)!\n181. Wasalamun AAala almursaleena\n181. And Peace on the apostles!\n182. Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena\n182.
