Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

their secret thoughts and their secret talks?
Yes indeed!
And with them are Our messengers, writing down.

81 Say, ‘If the All-beneficent had a son,
I would have been the first to worship [him].’
82 Clear is the Lord of the heavens and the earth,
the Lord of the Throne,
of whatever they allege [concerning Him]!
83 So leave them to gossip and play
until they encounter their day
which they are promised.

84 It is He who is God in the sky,
and God on the earth;
and He is the All-Wise, the All-Knowing.
85 Blessed is He
to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens
and the earth
and whatever is between them,
and with Him is the knowledge of the Hour,
and to Him you will be brought back.
86 Those whom they invoke besides Him have no power
of intercession,
except those who are witness to the truth
and who know [for whom to intercede].
87 If you ask them,
‘Who created them?’
they will surely say, ‘Allah.’
Then where do they stray?
