53. An-Najm

By the star when it descends

Saheeh Intl

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

Saheeh Intl

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination

Saheeh Intl

It is not but a revelation revealed

Saheeh Intl

Taught to him by one intense in strength

Saheeh Intl

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form

Saheeh Intl

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon

Saheeh Intl

Then he approached and descended

Saheeh Intl

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer

Saheeh Intl

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed

Saheeh Intl

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw

Saheeh Intl

So will you dispute with him over what he saw

Saheeh Intl

And he certainly saw him in another descent

Saheeh Intl

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary

Saheeh Intl

Near it is the Garden of Refuge

Saheeh Intl

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]

Saheeh Intl

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

Saheeh Intl

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord

Saheeh Intl

So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza

Saheeh Intl

And Manat, the third - the other one

Saheeh Intl

Is the male for you and for Him the female

Saheeh Intl

That, then, is an unjust division

Saheeh Intl

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

Saheeh Intl

Or is there for man whatever he wishes

Saheeh Intl

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

Saheeh Intl

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

Saheeh Intl
