00:00111. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
00:05112. And the star when it sets
00:08113. Your companion has neither gone astray nor been led astray.
00:13114. He does not speak from his own desire.
00:17115. It is nothing but a revelation revealed.
00:21116. His knowledge is mighty.
00:25117. He who is strong and firm
00:29118. It is on the highest horizon.
00:32119. Then he drew near and came down
00:36110. He was within two bow lengths or nearer
00:40111. So He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
00:47112. The heart did not lie about what it saw.
00:51113. Do you dispute with him over what he sees?
00:55114. And he saw him again.
00:59114. At the lote tree of the utmost boundary
01:04115. There is the Garden of Refuge
01:08116. When the lote tree was covered with that which covered it
01:12117. The sight did not deviate, nor did it change.
01:16118. He saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord
01:21119. Have you considered al-Lat and al-Uzza?
01:26119. And the other third Manat
01:30110. Is it for you the male and for Him the female?
01:34111. That is a division that is unfair
01:39112. They are but names
01:44111. If you and your fathers have named it
01:52112. God has not sent down any authority for it.
01:58113. They follow nothing but conjecture.
02:04114. And what the souls desire
02:07115. And guidance has come to them from their Lord.
02:13116. Or does man have what he desires?
02:18117. To God belongs the Hereafter and the first life.
02:22118. And how many kings are in the heavens
02:27119. Their intercession will avail them nothing.
02:31119. Except after God permits
02:35110. For whomever He wills and is pleased
02:39111. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter
02:45111. They name the angels with female names.
02:52112. And they have no knowledge of it if they follow
02:59112. Except for conjecture
03:00113. And conjecture is of no use against the truth.
03:07114. So turn away from whoever turns away from Our remembrance.
03:13114. He only wanted this worldly life.
03:17115. That is the extent of their knowledge.
03:22116. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His path.
03:29117. And He knows best who is chosen.
03:33117. To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, so that He may recompense those who do evil for what they have done and recompense those who do good with what is best.
03:48118. Those who avoid major sins and immoralities, only committing minor offenses
03:58119. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness.
04:03110. He knew you best when He created you from the earth and when you were embryos in your mothers' wombs.
04:18111. Do not praise yourselves.
04:23112. He knows best who is righteous.
04:27113. Have you seen the one who turned away
04:31114. He gave a little and confirmed
04:35115. Does he possess knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?
04:41116. Or has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Moses?
04:46117. And Abraham, who fulfilled
04:51118. That no one bears the burden of another.
04:56119. And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for.
05:02119. And his striving will be seen
05:07110. Then He will reward him with the fullest reward.
05:12111. And that to your Lord is the final destination.
05:18112. And that He is the One who makes [one] laugh and cry
05:23111. And that it is He who causes death and gives life
05:28112. And that He created the two sexes, male and female.
05:36113. From a sperm-drop when it is emitted
05:40114. And that He has the other creation.
05:46115. And that he is the richest and most generous
05:51114. And that He is the Lord of Sirius
05:55115. And that He destroyed the first 'Ad
06:02116. And Thamud, so He cast down
06:07117. And the people of Noah before
06:11118. They were more unjust and tyrannical than them.
06:16119. And the overturned cities He destroyed
06:20119. So what covered her covered her.
06:23110. So which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?
06:29111. This is a warning from the first warnings
06:35112. The one who adds
06:38113. There is none besides God who can avert it.
06:44114. Do you then wonder at this statement?
06:49115. You laugh and do not weep
06:53116. And you are Samdon
06:56117. So prostrate yourselves before God and worship Him.
