Tafsir of verse 158

Al-Mukhtasar

And the idolaters made blood ties between Allah and the angels when they claimed the angels are Allah’s daughters and their mothers are the elite jinns. But the jinns already know Allah will bring them to be reckoned, so if there was lineage between Him and them he would not bring them for that.

Other translations of verse 158

They claim that there is a kinship between Him and the jinn37, when the jinn themselves know that such people will surely be brought [for punishment].

Notes

[37] It was claimed by some Arab pagans that angels are daughters of Allah through female jinn.

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).

And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).

And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)!

And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

And they have made up a consanguity between Him and the jinn; and indeed the jinn already know that surely they will indeed be presented forward.
