As the star collapsed
Your friend was not astray, nor was he deceived
Nor does he speak from personal desire
It is a divine inspiration
He has been taught by One mighty in power
Free from any defect, he became stable
While he was at the highest horizon
Then he drew nearer by moving down
Until he became as near as two bow-lengths or nearer
He then conveyed the inspiration to His servant what was to be revealed
The heart did not invent what it saw
Do you doubt him in what he sa
And indeed, he saw him in another descent
At the ultimate point
Near it is the eternal Paradise
The whole place was overwhelmed
The eyes did not waver, nor go blind
He has seen from the great signs of his Lord
Have you considered Allaat and Al-`Uzza
And Manaat, the third on
Do you have the males, while He has the female
What a strange distribution
These are but names that you made up, you and your forefathers. God never authorized such. They only follow conjecture, and personal desire, while the guidance has come to them from their Lord
Or shall the human being have what he wishe
To God belongs the Hereafter, and the world
And there are many Angels in heaven, who have no power to intercede, except after God gives permission for whom He wishes and is satisfied with him
Those who disbelieve in the Hereafter have given the Angels feminine names
While they had no knowledge about this; they only followed conjecture. And conjecture is no substitute for the truth
So disregard he who turns away from Our reminder, and only desires this worldly life
This is the extent of their knowledge. Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed away from His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided
And to God belongs everything in the heavens and everything on Earth. He will requite those who commit evil for their works, and will reward the righteous for their righteousness
They avoid major sins and lewdness, except for minor offences. Your Lord is with vast forgiveness. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the Earth, and while you were embryos in your mothers' wombs. Therefore, do not acclaim yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous
Have you noted the one who turned awa
And he gave very little, then he stopped
Did he possess knowledge of the future Could he see i
Or was he not informed of the teachings in the Scriptures of Mose
And of Abraham who fulfille
None can carry the burdens of another
And the human being will have what he sought
And his works will be shown
Then he will be paid fully for such works
And to your Lord is the final destiny
And He is the One who makes laughter and tears
And He is the One who takes life and gives it
And He is the One who created the pair, male and female
From a seed that is put forth
And He will effect the recreation
And He is the One who makes you rich or poor
And He is the Lord of Sirius
And He is the One who destroyed `Aad the first
And of Thamud He left nothing
And the people of Noah before that; they were evil transgressors
And the evil communities were the lowliest
Consequently, they utterly vanished
So which of your Lord's marvels can you den
This is a warning like the older ones
The final judgement draws near
None beside God can relieve it
Are you surprised by this narratio
And you are laughing, instead of cryin
And you are insisting on your way
You shall prostrate to God, and serve
