53:1  By the star when it descends

53:2  Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred

53:3  Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination

53:4  It is not but a revelation revealed

53:5  Taught to him by one intense in strength

53:6  One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true for

53:7  While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon

53:8  Then he approached and descende

53:9  And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer

53:10  And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed

53:11  The heart did not lie [about] what it saw

53:12  So will you dispute with him over what he saw

53:13  And he certainly saw him in another descen

53:14  At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary

53:15  Near it is the Garden of Refuge

53:16  When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]

53:17  The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]

53:18  He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord

53:19  So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza

53:20  And Manat, the third - the other one

53:21  Is the male for you and for Him the female

53:22  That, then, is an unjust division

53:23  They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance

53:24  Or is there for man whatever he wishes

53:25  Rather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]

53:26  And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allah has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves

53:27  Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names

53:28  And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all

53:29  So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life

53:30  That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided

53:31  And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward]

53:32  Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him

53:33  Have you seen the one who turned awa

53:34  And gave a little and [then] refrained

53:35  Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees

53:36  Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Mose

53:37  And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations]

53:38  That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of anothe

53:39  And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strive

53:40  And that his effort is going to be seen

53:41  Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

53:42  And that to your Lord is the finalit

53:43  And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and wee

53:44  And that it is He who causes death and gives lif

53:45  And that He creates the two mates - the male and female

53:46  From a sperm-drop when it is emitte

53:47  And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

53:48  And that it is He who enriches and suffice

53:49  And that it is He who is the Lord of Siriu

53:50  And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aa

53:51  And Thamud - and He did not spare [them]

53:52  And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing

53:53  And the overturned towns He hurled dow

53:54  And covered them by that which He covered

53:55  Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt

53:56  This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners

53:57  The Approaching Day has approached

53:58  Of it, [from those] besides Allah , there is no remover

53:59  Then at this statement do you wonder

53:60  And you laugh and do not wee

53:61  While you are proudly sporting

53:62  So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]
