verse 1
By the Star when it setteth,
thoughts
verse 2
Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;
thoughts
verse 3
Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.
thoughts
verse 4
It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,
thoughts
verse 5
Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
thoughts
verse 6
One vigorous; and he grew clear to view
thoughts
verse 7
When he was on the uppermost horizon.
thoughts
verse 8
Then he drew nigh and came down
thoughts
verse 9
Till he was (distant) two bows’ length or even nearer,
thoughts
verse 10
And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.
thoughts
verse 11
The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.
thoughts
verse 12
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth?
thoughts
verse 13
And verily he saw him yet another time
thoughts
verse 14
By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary,
thoughts
verse 15
Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.
thoughts
verse 16
When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,
thoughts
verse 17
The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.
thoughts
verse 18
Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.
thoughts
verse 19
Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-‘Uzza
thoughts
verse 20
And Manat, the third, the other?
thoughts
verse 21
Are yours the males and His the females?
thoughts
verse 22
That indeed were an unfair division!
thoughts
verse 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.
thoughts
verse 24
Or shall man have what he coveteth?
thoughts
verse 25
But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.
thoughts
verse 26
And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.
thoughts
verse 27
Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.
thoughts
verse 28
And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.
thoughts
verse 29
Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.
thoughts
verse 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.
thoughts
verse 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.
thoughts
verse 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).
thoughts
verse 33
Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away,
thoughts
verse 34
And gave a little, then was grudging?
thoughts
verse 35
Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth?
thoughts
verse 36
Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses
thoughts
verse 37
And Abraham who paid his debt:
thoughts
verse 38
That no laden one shall bear another’s load,
thoughts
verse 39
And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,
thoughts
verse 40
And that his effort will be seen.
thoughts
verse 41
And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment;
thoughts
verse 42
And that thy Lord, He is the goal;
thoughts
verse 43
And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep,
thoughts
verse 44
And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life;
thoughts
verse 45
And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female,
thoughts
verse 46
From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth;
thoughts
verse 47
And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth;
thoughts
verse 48
And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;
thoughts
verse 49
And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius;
thoughts
verse 50
And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A’ad,
thoughts
verse 51
And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;
thoughts
verse 52
And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious;
thoughts
verse 53
And Al-Mu’tafikah He destroyed
thoughts
verse 54
So that there covered them that which did cover.
thoughts
verse 55
Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute?
thoughts
verse 56
This is a warner of the warners of old.
thoughts
verse 57
The threatened Hour is nigh.
thoughts
verse 58
None beside Allah can disclose it.
thoughts
verse 59
Marvel ye then at this statement,
thoughts
verse 60
And laugh and not weep,
thoughts
verse 61
While ye amuse yourselves?
thoughts
verse 62
Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him.
