1
By the star when it descends,
2
your companion is not misguided or misled;
3
nor does he speak from whim.
4
It is nothing but Revelation revealed,
5
taught him by one immensely strong,
6
possessing power and splendour. He stood there stationary –
7
there on the highest horizon.
8
Then he drew near and hung suspended.
9
He was two bow-lengths away or even closer.
10
Then He revealed to His slave what He revealed.
11
His heart did not lie about what he saw.
12
What! Do you dispute with him about what he saw?
13
He saw him again another time
14
by the Lote-tree of the Final Limit,
15
beside which is the Garden of Refuge,
16
when that which covered the Lote-tree covered it.
17
His eye did not waver nor did he look away.
18
He saw some of the Greatest Signs of his Lord.
19
Have you really considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza
20
and Manat, the third, the other one?
21
Do you have males and He females?
22
That is a most unfair division!
23
They are nothing but names which you yourselves have given, you and your forefathers. Allah has sent down no authority for them. They are following nothing but conjecture and what their own selves desire. And that when guidance has reached them from their Lord!
24
Shall man then have whatever he covets?
25
The last and the first belong to Allah.
26
And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession is of no benefit at all until Allah has authorised those He wills and is pleased with them!
27
Those who do not have iman in the Next World give the angels female names.
28
They have no knowledge of this. They are only following conjecture. Conjecture is of no avail whatever against the truth.
29
So turn away from him who turns away from Our remembrance and desires nothing but the life of this world.
30
That is as far as their knowledge extends. Your Lord knows best those who are misguided from His Way and He knows best those who are guided.
