وَجَعَلُوا
الْمَلَائِكَةَ
الَّذِينَ
هُمْ
عِبَادُ
الرَّحْمَنِ
إِنَاثًا
أَشَهِدُوا
خَلْقَهُمْ
سَتُكْتَبُ
شَهَادَتُهُمْ
وَيُسْأَلُونَ
wa-jaʿalū l-malāʾikata lladhīna hum ʿibādu r-raḥmāni ʾināthan ʾa-shahidū khalqahum sa-tuktabu shahādatuhum wa-yusʾalūna
They have made the angels—who are servants of the All-beneficent—females. Were they witness to their creation? Their testimony will be written down and they shall be questioned.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And they make into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account!
