لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَلَإِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ وَيُقۡذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٖ
(37:8) These satans cannot listen to what transpires in the High Council
for they are pelted away from every side
for they are pelted away from every side
دُحُورٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ وَاصِبٌ
(37:9) and are repelled. Theirs is an unceasing chastisement.
إِلَّا مَنۡ خَطِفَ ٱلۡخَطۡفَةَ فَأَتۡبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٞ ثَاقِبٞ
(37:10) And if any is able to snatch a fragment, he is pursued by a piercing
flame.7
flame.7
فَٱسۡتَفۡتِهِمۡ أَهُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَم مَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَآۚ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٖ لَّازِبِۭ
(37:11) So ask them (that is, human beings): “Were they harder to create
than the objects We created?”8 We created them from sticky clay.9
than the objects We created?”8 We created them from sticky clay.9
بَلۡ عَجِبۡتَ وَيَسۡخَرُونَ
(37:12) You marvel (at the wondrous creations of Allah) and they scoff at
it,
it,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ
(37:13) and when they are admonished, they pay no heed;
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ
(37:14) and if they see any Sign, they laugh it away
