1
By the Star when it setteth.,
2
Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;
3
Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.
4
It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,
5
Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
6
One vigorous: and he grew clear to vieww
7
When he was on the uppermost horizon.
8
Then be drew nigh and came downn
9
Till he was (distant) two bows length or even nearer,
10
And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.
11
The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.
12
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth?
13
And verily he saw him yet another timee
14
By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary,
15
Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.
16
When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,
17
The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.
18
Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.
19
Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzzaa
20
And Manat, the third, the other?
21
Are yours the males and His the females?
22
That indeed was an unfair division!
23
They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.
24
Or shall man have what he coveteth?
25
But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.
26
And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth!
27
Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.
28
And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.
29
Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.
30
Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him who goeth right.
