Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them. Youths (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.
52-25
They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.
52-26
They will say: "Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people.
52-27
"But God has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.
52-28
"Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"
52-29
Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.
52-30
Or do they say:- "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"
52-31
Say thou: "Await ye!- I too will wait along with you!"
52-32
Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?
52-33
Or do they say, "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay, they have no faith!
52-34
Let them then produce a recital like unto it,- If (it be) they speak the truth!
52-35
Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
52-36
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief
52-37
Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)?
52-38
Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a manifest proof.
52-39
Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?
52-40
Or is it that thou dost ask for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?-
52-41
Or that the Unseen in it their hands, and they write it down?
52-42
Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy God are themselves involved in a Plot!
52-43
Or have they a god other than God? Exalted is God far above the things they associate with Him!
52-44
Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"
52-45
So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror),-
52-46
The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them.
52-47
And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this: But most of them understand not.
52-48
Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth,
52-49
And for part of the night also praise thou Him,- and at the retreat of the stars! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN NAJM
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
53-1
By the Star when it goes down,-
53-2
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
53-3
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
53-4
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
53-5
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
53-6
Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);
53-7
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
53-8
Then he approached and came closer,
53-9
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
53-10
So did (God) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
53-11
The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
53-12
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
53-13
For indeed he saw him at a second descent,
53-14
Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:
53-15
Near it is the Garden of Abode.
53-16
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)
53-17
(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!
53-18
For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!
53-19
Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza,
53-20
And another, the third (goddess), Manat?
53-21
What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female?
53-22
Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!
53-23
These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which God has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!
53-24
Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after?
53-25
But it is to God that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.
