By the star when it plunges
your companion is neither astray, neither errs
nor does he speak out of desire
Indeed it is not except a Revelation which is revealed
taught by One who is Stern in power
Of might, he (Gabriel) stood fir
while he was in the highest horizon
then he drew near, and became clos
he was but two bows' length or even nearer
so (Allah) revealed to His worshiper (Gabriel) that which he revealed (to Prophet Muhammad)
His heart did not lie of what he saw
What, will you dispute with him about what he sees
Indeed, he saw him in another descent
at the Lote Tree (Sidrat tree) of the ending
close to the Garden of Refuge
When there comes to the Lote Tree, that which come
his eyes did not swerve, nor did they stra
for indeed he saw one of the greatest signs of his Lord
(Among the idols) have you considered allat and al'uzza
and, another, the third manat
What, have you males, and He females
That is indeed an unjust division
They are but names, named by you and your fathers. Allah has not sent down any authority for them. They follow conjecture and their soul's desire, eventhough the guidance of their Lord has come to them
Is the human to have whatever he fancies
To Allah belongs the Eternal life and the first life
How many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession shall not benefit until Allah gives permission to whom He will and is pleased
Those who disbelieve in the Everlasting Life call the angels by female names
Yet of this they have no knowledge, they follow mere conjecture, and conjecture does not help against truth
So turn from those who turn away from Our Remembrance and only desire this present life
That is all they have of knowledge. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His Path, and those who are guided
To Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. He will recompense the evildoers according to their deeds, and recompense those who have done good with the finest reward
those who avoid the major sin and indecencies except the small sins, indeed your Lord is of immense forgiveness and He is more knowledgeable of you when He created you from the earth and when you were still unborn in your mothers' wombs. Do not praise yourself. Allah knows the cautious
Have you considered he who turns his back
and gives a little, grudgingly
Or, does he possess knowledge of the Unseen, and can therefore see
Or, has he not been told of that which is in the Scrolls of Mose
and Abraham, who paid his debt in full
That no soul shall bear another's burden
and that everyone shall have in his account only that which he worked for
and that his work is surely see
then, he shall be recompensed for it in full repaymen
and that the final return is to your Lord
that it is He who causes to laugh and causes to weep
and that it is He who causes to die, and causes to liv
and that it is He who created pairs, the male and the female
from an ejaculated drop (of sperm)
and that upon Him is the second creatio
and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard
and that He is the Lord of (the star) Sirius
that it was He that destroyed ancient Aa
and Thamood, sparing no one
and before them the nation of Noah, they exceeded in evil and were insolent
He plunged the village
so that there came upon them that which came
So which then of your Lord's favors do you dispute
This is a warner from the warners of ancient times
The Imminent is near at hand
none except Allah can disclose it
Do you marvel then at this discourse (the Koran)
Or do you laugh, and do you not wee
while you are thoughtless
Rather, prostrate to Allah and worship Him
