53:1  By the Star when it setteth

53:2  Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived

53:3  Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire

53:4  It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired

53:5  Which one of mighty powers hath taught him

53:6  One vigorous; and he grew clear to vie

53:7  When he was on the uppermost horizon

53:8  Then he drew nigh and came dow

53:9  Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer

53:10  And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed

53:11  The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw

53:12  Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth

53:13  And verily he saw him yet another tim

53:14  By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary

53:15  Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode

53:16  When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree

53:17  The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold

53:18  Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord

53:19  Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzz

53:20  And Manat, the third, the other

53:21  Are yours the males and His the females

53:22  That indeed were an unfair division

53:23  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

53:24  Or shall man have what he coveteth

53:25  But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former

53:26  And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth

53:27  Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females

53:28  And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth

53:29  Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world

53:30  Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right

53:31  And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness

53:32  Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil)

53:33  Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away

53:34  And gave a little, then was grudging

53:35  Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth

53:36  Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Mose

53:37  And Abraham who paid his debt

53:38  That no laden one shall bear another's load

53:39  And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort

53:40  And that his effort will be seen

53:41  And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment

53:42  And that thy Lord, He is the goal

53:43  And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep

53:44  And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life

53:45  And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female

53:46  From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth

53:47  And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth

53:48  And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth

53:49  And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius

53:50  And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad

53:51  And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not

53:52  And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious

53:53  And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroye

53:54  So that there covered them that which did cover

53:55  Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute

53:56  This is a warner of the warners of old

53:57  The threatened Hour is nigh

53:58  None beside Allah can disclose it

53:59  Marvel ye then at this statement

53:60  And laugh and not weep

53:61  While ye amuse yourselves

53:62  Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him
