In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[53.1] I
swear by the star when it goes down.
[53.2] Your
companion does not err, nor does he go astray;
[53.3] Nor
does he speak out of desire.
[53.4] It is
naught but revelation that is revealed,
[53.5] The
Lord of Mighty Power has taught him,
[53.6] The
Lord of Strength; so he attained completion,
[53.7] And
he is in the highest part of the horizon.
[53.8] Then
he drew near, then he bowed,
[53.9] So he
was the measure of two bows or closer still.
[53.10] And
He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
[53.11] The
heart was not untrue in (making him see) what he saw.
[53.12]
What! do you then dispute with him as to what he saw?
[53.13] And
certainly he saw him in another descent,
[53.14] At
the farthest Lote-tree;
[53.15] Near
which is the garden, the place to be resorted to.
[53.16] When
that which covers covered the Lote-tree;
[53.17] The
eye did not turn aside, nor did it exceed the limit.
[53.18]
Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
[53.19] Have
you then considered the Lat and the Uzza,
[53.20] And
Manat, the third, the last?
[53.21]
What! for you the males and for Him the females!
[53.22] This
indeed is an unjust division!
[53.23] They
are naught but names which you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent for
them any authority. They follow naught but conjecture and the low desires which (their)
souls incline to; and certainly the guidance has come to them from their Lord.
[53.24] Or
shall man have what he wishes?
[53.25] Nay!
for Allah is the hereafter and the former (life).
[53.26] And
how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except
after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses.
[53.27] Most
surely they who do not believe in the hereafter name the angels with female names.
[53.28] And
they have no knowledge of it; they do not follow anything but conjecture, and surely
conjecture does not avail against the truth at all.
[53.29]
Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire
anything but this world's life.
[53.30] That
is their goal of knowledge; surely your Lord knows best him who goes astray from His path
and He knows best him who follows the right direction.
[53.31] And
Allah's is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that He may reward those who
do evil according to what they do, and (that) He may reward those who do good with
goodness.
[53.32]
Those who keep aloof from the great sins and the indecencies but the passing idea; surely
your Lord is liberal in forgiving. He knows you best when He brings you forth from the
earth and when you are embryos in the wombs of your mothers; therefore do not attribute
purity to your souls; He knows him best who guards (against evil).
[53.33] Have
you then seen him who turns his back?
[53.34] And
gives a little and (then) withholds.
[53.35] Has
he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see?
[53.36] Or,
has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Musa?
[53.37] And
(of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments):
[53.38] That
no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another;
[53.39] And
that man shall have nothing but what he strives for;
[53.40] And
that his striving shall soon be seen;
[53.41] Then
shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward;
[53.42] And
that to your Lord is the goal;
[53.43] And
that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep;
[53.44] And
that He it is Who causes death and gives life;
[53.45] And
that He created pairs, the male and the female,
[53.46] From
the small seed when it is adapted;
[53.47] And
that on Him is the bringing forth a second time;
[53.48] And
that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold;
[53.49] And
that He is the Lord of the Sirius;
[53.50] And
that He did destroy the Ad of old,
[53.51] And
Samood, so He spared not,
[53.52] And
the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate;
[53.53] And
the overthrown cities did He overthrow,
[53.54] So
there covered them that which covered.
[53.55]
Which of your Lord's benefits will you then dispute about?
[53.56] This
is a warner of the warners of old.
[53.57] The
near event draws nigh.
[53.58]
There shall be none besides Allah to remove it.
[53.59] Do
you then wonder at this announcement?
[53.60] And
will you laugh and not weep?
[53.61]
While you are indulging in varieties.
[53.62] So
make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him).
