the All-Beneficent,
the All-Merciful.
1. I swear by the
star when it goes
down.
2. Your companion
does not err, nor
does he go astray;
3. Nor does he
speak out of desire.
4. It is naught but
revelation that is
revealed.
5. The Lord of Mighty
Power has taught him,
6. The Lord of Strength;
so he attained completion,
7. And he is in the
highest part of the
horizon.
8. Then he drew near,
then he bowed,
9. So he was the
measure of two bows
or closer still.
10. Ane He revealed
to His servant what
He revealed.
11. The heart was not
untrue in (making him
see) what he saw.
12. What! do you then
dispute with him as to
what he saw?
13. And certainly he saw
him in another descent,
14. At the farthest lote-tree;
15. Near which is the garden,
the place to be resorted to.
16. When that which covers
covered the lote-tree;
17. The eye did not turn
aside, nor did it exceed
the limit.
18. Certainly he saw of
the greatest signs of
his Lord.
19. Have you then
considered the Lat
and the Uzza,
20. And Manat, the
third, the last?
21. What! for you the
males and for Him the
females!
22. This indeed is
an unjust division!
23. They are naught but
names which you have named,
you and your fathers; Allah
[God] 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.
24. Or shall man have
what he wishes?
25. Nay! for Allah [God]
is the hereafter and the
former life.
26. And how many an angel
is there in the heavens whose
intercession does not avail at
all except after Allah [God] has
given permission to whom He
pleases and chooses.
27. Most surely they who do
not believe in the hereafter
name the angels with female
names.
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.
29. Therefore turn aside from
him who turns his back upon
Our reminder and does not
desire anything but this
world's life.
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.
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.
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
attribut purity
to your souls;
He knows him
best who guards
against evil.
33. Have you then seen
him who turns his back?
34. And gives a little
AND THEN witholds.
35. Has he the knowledge
of the unseen so that he
can see?
36. Or, has he not been
informed of what is in
the scriptures of
Moses?
37. And of Abraham who
fulfilled the commandments:
38. That no bearer of burden
shall bear the burden of another;
39. And that man shall have nothing
but what he strives for;
40. And that his striving
shall soon be seen;
41. Then shall he be rewarded
for it with the fullest reward;
42. And that to your
Lord is the goal;
43. And that He it is Who
makes men laugh and makes
them weep;
44. And that He it is Who
causes death and gives life;
45. And that He created pairs,
the male and the female,
46. From the small seed
when it is adapted;
47. And that on Him is
the bringing forth a
second time;
48. And that He it is
Who enriches and gives
to hold;
49. And that He is the
Lord of the Sirius;
50. And that He did
destroy the Ad of old,
51. And Samood, so He
spared not,
52. And the people of Nuh
before; surely they were
most unjust and
inordinate;
53. And the overthown cities
did He overthrow,
54. So there covered them
that which covered.
55. Which of your Lord's
benefits will you then
dispute about?
56. This is a warner of
the warners of old.
57. The near event draws nigh.
58. There shall be none
besides Allah to remove
it.
59. Do you then wonder
at this announcement?
60. And will you
laugh and not weep?
61. While you are
indulging in varieties.
62. So make obeisance to
Allah and serve Him.
