1
As the stars fell away.
2
Your friend (Muhammad) was not astray, nor was he deceived.
3
Nor was he speaking out of a personal desire.
4
It was divine inspiration.
5
Dictated by the Most Powerful.
6
Possessor of all authority. From His highest height.
7
At the highest horizon.
8
He drew nearer by moving down.
9
Until He became as close as possible.
10
He then revealed to His servant what was to be revealed.
11
The mind never made up what it saw.
12
Are you doubting what he saw?
13
He saw him in another descent.
14
At the ultimate point.
15
Where the eternal Paradise is located.
16
The whole place was overwhelmed.
17
The eyes did not waver, nor go blind.
18
He saw great signs of his Lord.
19
Compare this with the female idols Allaat and Al-'Uzzah.
20
And Manaat, the third one.
21
Do you have sons, while He has these as daughters?
22
What a disgraceful distribution!
23
These are but names that you made up, you and your forefathers. GOD never authorized such a blasphemy. They follow conjecture, and personal desire, when the true guidance has come to them herein from their Lord.
24
What is it that the human being desires?
25
To GOD belongs both the Hereafter, and this world.
26
Not even the angels in heaven possess authority to intercede. The only ones permitted by GOD are those who act in accordance with His will and His approval.
27
Those who disbelieve in the Hereafter have given the angels feminine names.
28
They had no knowledge about this; they only conjectured. Conjecture is no substitute for the truth.
29
You shall disregard those who turn away from our message, and become preoccupied with 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.
