Your companion is neither astray nor being misled
Verse 3 — Surah An-Najm 53:3
Nor does he say anything of his own volition
Verse 4 — Surah An-Najm 53:4
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him
Verse 5 — Surah An-Najm 53:5
He was taught by one mighty in power
Verse 6 — Surah An-Najm 53:6
Endued with wisdom, for he appeared
Verse 7 — Surah An-Najm 53:7
While he was in the highest part of the horizon
Verse 8 — Surah An-Najm 53:8
Then he approached and came closer
Verse 9 — Surah An-Najm 53:9
And was at a distance of only two bow-lengths or nearer
Verse 10 — Surah An-Najm 53:10
So God conveyed the inspiration to His servant which He meant to convey
Verse 11 — Surah An-Najm 53:11
His heart in no way falsified that which he saw
Verse 12 — Surah An-Najm 53:12
Will you then dispute with him concerning what he saw

Near the lotus-tree beyond which none may pass

Near is the garden of abode

Behold, the lotus-tree was shrouded

His sight never deviated, nor did it go wrong

Behold, that would indeed be a division unfair
Verse 23 — Surah An-Najm 53:23
These are nothing but names which you have made up, you and your fathers, for which God has sent down no authority. They follow nothing but speculation, and what their own soul’s desire. Even though there has already come to them guidance from their Lord
Verse 24 — Surah An-Najm 53:24
No, will human beings have everything they pursue
Verse 25 — Surah An-Najm 53:25
But it is to God that the end and the beginning belong

However many angels there are in the heavens, their intercession will avail them nothing, except after God has given permission to whom He pleases, and that they are acceptable to Him
Verse 27 — Surah An-Najm 53:27
Those who do not believe in the hereafter, name the angels with female names
Verse 28 — Surah An-Najm 53:28
But they cannot know. They follow nothing but speculation, and speculation avails nothing against truth
Verse 29 — Surah An-Najm 53:29
Therefore turn away from those who turn away from Our message, and desire nothing but the life of the present
Verse 30 — Surah An-Najm 53:30
That is as far as their knowledge will take them, indeed your Lord knows best those who stray from His path, and He knows best those who receive guidance
Verse 31 — Surah An-Najm 53:31
Yes, to God belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth. He rewards those who do wrong, according to their deeds, and He rewards those who do right, with what is best
Verse 32 — Surah An-Najm 53:32
Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only falling into small faults, indeed your Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, and when you are hidden in your mothers’ wombs. Therefore do not justify yourselves. He knows best who it is that guards against harm

Wasting your time in vanities
