158وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

159سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

160إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

161فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ

162مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـٰتِنِينَ

163إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

164وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ

165وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

166وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ

[158-166] They have invented a blood-relationship between Allah and the angels,89 whereas the angels know full well that these people will be brought up as culprits. (And they say) "Allah is free from the things which the other people than His true servants attribute to Him. Therefore you and your gods cannot turn anyone from Allah, except him who shall burn in the blazing Fire of Hell.90 As for ourselves, each one of us has an appointed place,91 and we are the ranged servants and the glorifiers (of Allah)."

89Though the word used is al jinnah instead of al-mala'ikah, some major commentators have opined that here the word jinn has been used for mala ikah in its literal sense (of hidden creation); mala ikah (angels) also are, in reality, a hidden creation, and the following theme also demands that al jinnah here be taken in the sense of al-mala'ikah

90Another translation of this verse can be: "Therefore, you and your worship: on this you cannot tempt into mischief anyone except him . . . " According to this second translation, the meaning would be: "O you who have gone astray, by this worship that you arc performing before us, and regarding us as the children of Allah, Lord of the worlds, you cannot tempt us into mischief. By this you can only beguile a fool who might be working for his own doom. So, we refuse to fall into the trap that you have set for us."

91That is, "Not to speak of being Allah's children, we do not have the power to exceed in any way or degree the place and position and status appointed for each of us by Allah."
