They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them. ﴾23﴿

اَمۡ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ مَا تَمَنّٰىۖ‏ ﴿۲۴﴾

Or shall man have what he coveteth? ﴾24﴿

فَلِلّٰهِ الۡاٰخِرَةُ وَالۡاُوۡلٰى‏ ﴿۲۵﴾

But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former. ﴾25﴿

ÙˆÙŽÙƒÙŽÙ…Û¡ مِّنۡ مَّلَكٍ فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِىۡ شَفٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔـا اِلَّا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ اَنۡ يَّاۡذَنَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَرۡضٰى‏ ﴿۲۶﴾

And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth. ﴾26﴿

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّوۡنَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ الۡاُنۡثٰى‏ ﴿۲۷﴾

Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females. ﴾27﴿

وَمَا لَهُمۡ بِهٖ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ‌ؕ اِنۡ يَّتَّبِعُوۡنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ‌ۚ وَاِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِىۡ مِنَ الۡحَـقِّ شَيۡـًٔـاۚ‏ ﴿۲۸﴾

And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth. ﴾28﴿

فَاَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ مَّنۡ تَوَلّٰى ۙ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِنَا ÙˆÙŽÙ„ÙŽÙ…Û¡ يُرِدۡ اِلَّا الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَاؕ‏ ﴿۲۹﴾

Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world. ﴾29﴿

ذٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡعِلۡمِ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ ضَلَّ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِهٖ ۙ وَهُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ اهۡتَدٰى‏ ﴿۳۰﴾

Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right. ﴾30﴿

وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِۙ لِيَجۡزِىَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَسَآءُوۡا بِمَا عَمِلُوۡا وَيَجۡزِىَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوۡا بِالۡحُسۡنَى‌ۚ‏ ﴿۳۱﴾

And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness. ﴾31﴿

اَلَّذِيۡنَ يَجۡتَنِبُوۡنَ كَبٰٓٮِٕرَ الۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡفوَاحِشَ اِلَّا اللَّمَمَ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الۡمَغۡفِرَةِ‌ؕ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ اِذۡ اَنۡشَاَكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَاِذۡ اَنۡتُمۡ اَجِنَّةٌ فِىۡ بُطُوۡنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمۡ‌ۚ فَلَا تُزَكُّوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ‌ ؕ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقٰى‏ ﴿۳۲﴾

Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil). ﴾32﴿

اَفَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِىۡ تَوَلّٰىۙ‏ ﴿۳۳﴾

Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away, ﴾33﴿

وَاَعۡطٰى قَلِيۡلاً وَّاَكۡدٰى‏ ﴿۳۴﴾

And gave a little, then was grudging? ﴾34﴿

اَعِنۡدَهٗ عِلۡمُ الۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرٰى‏ ﴿۳۵﴾

Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth? ﴾35﴿
