2
Your friend was not astray, nor was he deceived.
3
Nor does he speak from personal desire.
4
It is a divine inspiration.
5
He has been taught by One mighty in power.
6
Possessor of ultimate wisdom; he became stable.
7
While he was at the highest horizon.
8
Then he drew nearer by moving down.
9
Until he became as near as two bowlengths or nearer.
10
He then conveyed the inspiration to His servant what was to be revealed.
11
The heart did not invent what it saw.
12
Do you doubt him in what he saw?
13
Indeed, he saw him in another descent.
14
At the ultimate point.
15
Near is the eternal Paradise.
16
The whole place was overwhelmed.
17
The eyes did not waver, nor go blind.
18
He has seen from the great signs of his Lord.
19
Have you considered Allaat and Al- Uzzah?
20
And Manaat, the third one?
21
Do you have the males, while He has the females?
22
What a strange distribution!
23
These are but names/attributes that you made up, you and your forefathers. God never authorized such. They only follow conjecture, and wishful thinking, while the guidance has come to them from their Lord.
24
Or shall the human being have what he wishes?
25
To God belongs the Hereafter, and the world.
26
There are many angels in heaven, who have no power to intercede, except after God gives permission for whom He wishes and is satisfied with him.
27
Those who reject the Hereafter have given the angels feminine names.
28
While they had no knowledge about this; they only followed conjecture. Conjecture is no substitute for the truth.
29
So disregard he who turns away from Our reminder, and only desires this worldly life.
30
This is the extent of their knowledge. Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed away from His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
