And, verily, Yunus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.

When he ran to the laden ship,

He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers,

Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame.

Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,

He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

Now ask them (O Muhammad ﷺ): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?

Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

"Allah has begotten off spring or children (i.e. angels are the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!

Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

What is the matter with you? How do you decide?

Will you not then remember?

Or is there for you a plain authority?

Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts).

Glorified is Allah! (He is Free) from what they attribute unto Him!

Except the slaves of Allah, whom He choses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).

So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols).

Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],

Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!

There is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);

Verily, we (angels), we stand in rows for the prayers (as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);

Verily, we (angels), we are they who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).

And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say;

"If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a Messenger of Allah).

"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"

But (now that the Quran has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Quran and in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and all that which he brought, the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!

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

That they verily would be made triumphant.

And that Our hosts, they verily would be the victors.

So turn away (O Muhammad ﷺ) from them for a while,

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

Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?

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

So turn (O Muhammad ﷺ) away from them for a while,

And watch and they shall see (the torment)!

Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

And peace be on the Messengers!

And all the praise and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
