2
your companion is not in error nor has he gone astray.
3
He does not speak out of his own desires.
4
It is a revelations which has been revealed to him
6
by the great mighty one (Gabriel),
7
the strong one who appeared on the uppermost horizon.
8
He (Gabriel) then came nearer and nearer.
9
until he was as close to him as the distance of two bows, or even less.
10
He revealed to God's servant whatever he wanted.
11
His (Muhammad's) heart did not lie to him about what his eyes had seen.
12
Will you then argue with him about what he saw?
13
He certainly saw him (Gabriel) during his other ascent
14
to the Lot-tree (in the seven heavens)
15
near which is Paradise.
16
When the tree was covered with a covering,
17
(Muhammad's) eyes did not deceive him, nor did they lead him to falsehood.
18
He certainly saw the greatest (signs) of the existence of his Lord.
19
(Can anything as such be considered true) of al-Lat, al-Uzza,
20
and your third idol al-Manat (whom you considered as God's daughters)?
21
Do sons belong to you and daughters to God?
22
This is an unfair distinction!
23
These are only names given by yourselves and your fathers. God has not given them any authority. They, (unbelievers), only follow mere conjecture and the desires of their souls, even though guidance has already come to them from their Lord.
24
Can the human being have whatever he wishes?
25
All that is in the life to come and all that is in this life belongs only to God.
26
There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession will be of no benefit unless God grants such permission to whichever of them He wants.
27
Only those who do not believe in the life hereafter call the angels, females. They have no knowledge about it.
28
They only follow mere conjecture which can never sufficiently replace the Truth.
29
(Muhammad), stay away from those who turn away from Our guidance and who do not desire anything except the worldly life.
30
This is what the extent of their knowledge amounts to. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His path and who has been rightly guided.
