   Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled

3. J27

   وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ

   Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire

4. J27

   إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيࣱ يُوحَىٰ

   It is no less than inspiration sent down to him

5. J27

   عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ

   He was taught by one Mighty in Power

6. J27

   ذُو مِرَّةࣲ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ

   Then he approached and came closer

9. J27

   فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ

   And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer

10. J27

    فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ

    So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey

11. J27

    مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ

    The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw

12. J27

    أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ

    Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw

13. J27

    وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ

    For indeed he saw him at a second descent

21. J27

    أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

    What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female

22. J27

    تِلۡكَ إِذࣰ ا قِسۡمَةࣱ ضِيزَىٰٓ

    Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair

23. J27

    إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءࣱ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٍۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ

    These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah 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

24. J27

    أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

    Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after

25. J27

    فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

    But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong

26. J27

    ۞وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكࣲ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِي شَفَٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن يَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرۡضَىٰٓ

    How many-so-ever be the angels in the heavens, their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him

27. J27

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

    Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names

28. J27

    وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـࣰٔ ا

    But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth

29. J27

    فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ يُرِدۡ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

    Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world

30. J27

    ذَٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ

    That is as far as knowledge will reach them. Verily thy Lord knoweth best those who stray from His Path, and He knoweth best those who receive guidance

31. J27

    وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

    Yea, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: so that He rewards those who do evil, according to their deeds, and He rewards those who do good, with what is best

32. J27

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةࣱ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ

    Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers' wombs. Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against evil

33. J27

    أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ

    Seest thou one who turns back

34. J27

    وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلࣰ ا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ

    Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)

35. J27

    أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

    What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see

36. J27

    أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
