53:1  By the star when it setteth

53:2  Your companion hath not gone astray, nor hath he erred

53:3  And he speaketh not of his own desire

53:4  It is but a revelation revealed

53:5  One of mighty powers hath taught it him

53:6  One strong of make. Then he stood straight

53:7  While he was on the uppermost horizon

53:8  Thereafter he drew nigh, then he let himself down

53:9  Till he was two bows length off or yet nearer

53:10  Thus He revealed Unto His bondman whatsoever He revealed

53:11  The heart lied not in that which he saw

53:12  Will ye therefore dispute with him concerning that which he hath Seen

53:13  And assuredly he saw him at another descent

53:14  Nigh Unto the lote-tree at the boundary

53:15  Nigh thereto is the Garden of Abode

53:16  When that covered the lote-tree which covered it

53:17  The sight turned not aside, nor it exceeded

53:18  Assuredly he beheld of the sign of his Lord, the greatest

53:19  Have ye then considered Al-Lat and AL-'uzza

53:20  And Manat the other third

53:21  What!-Unto YOu the males and Unto Him the females

53:22  That indeed is a division unfair

53:23  They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath sent down no authority. They follow but their fancy, and that which pleaseth their souls; whereas assuredly there hath come Unto them from their Lord the guidance

53:24  Shall man have whatsoever he wisheth for

53:25  Allah's is the last and the first

53:26  And many soever are angels in the heavens whose intercession shall not avail at all save after Allah hath given leave for whomsoever He listeth and pleaseth

53:27  Verily those who believe not in the Hereafter name the angels with the names of females

53:28  And they have no knowledge thereof; they follow but a vain opinion, and verily a vain opinion attaineth not aught of the truth

53:29  Wherefore withdraw thou from him who turneth away from Our admonition and seeketh not but the life of the world

53:30  That is their highest point of knowledge. Verily thine Lord! it is He Who is the Best Knower of him who strayeth from His way, and He is the Best Knower of him who letteth himself be guided

53:31  And Allah's is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may recompense those who do evil for that which they worked and reward those who do good with good

53:32  They are those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations save the minor offences. Verily thy Lord is of vast for giveness: He is Best Knower of you when He produced you out Of the earth, and when ye were embryos in the bellies of your mothers. So justify not yourselves; He is the Best Knower of him who feareth Him

53:33  Observedest thou him who turned away

53:34  And gave little, and then stopped

53:35  Is with him knowledge of the unseen so that he seeth

53:36  Hath he not been told of that which is in the writs of Musa

53:37  And of Ibrahim who faithfully fulfilled

53:38  To wit, that a burthened soul shall not bear the burthen of another

53:39  And that for man shall be naught save that wherefor he endeavoureth

53:40  And that his endeavour shall be presently observed

53:41  Thereafter he shall be recompensed therefor with the fullest recompense

53:42  And that Unto thy Lord is the goal

53:43  And that it is He Who causeth to laugh and causeth to weep

53:44  And that it is He Who causeth to die and causeth to live

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

53:46  From seed when it is emitted

53:47  And that upon Him is another bringing forth

53:48  And that it is He Who enricheth and preserveth property

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

53:50  And that He destroyed the former 'A-ad

53:51  And that Thamud! He left not

53:52  And also the people of Nuh aforetime. Verily they were even greater wrong-doers and more contumacious

53:53  And the subverted cities He overthrew

53:54  Then covered them with that which covered them

53:55  Which then of thy Lord's benefits wilt thou doubt

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

53:57  There hath approached the approaching Hour

53:58  None, except Allah, can avert it

53:59  At this discourse then marvel ye

53:60  And laugh and not weep

53:61  And ye are behaving proudly

53:62  So prostrate yourselves before Allah and worship
