An-Najm

By the star when it goes down, your companion has not strayed, nor does he speak from his own desire. It is a revelation, taught to him by one mighty in power, who rose to his true form on the highest horizon and came within two bow-lengths or nearer. The Prophet ﷺ saw him again at the Lote Tree of the Furthest Boundary, near the Garden of Refuge, and he saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord. Have you considered al-Lat, al-‘Uzza and Manat? They are nothing but names you have named, with no authority from Allah. Those who deny the Hereafter give the angels female names and follow only assumption, which is of no use against the truth. No angel can intercede unless Allah gives permission. Allah will repay those who do evil and reward those who do good with the best. His forgiveness is vast, for those who avoid the major sins, so do not claim purity for yourselves. The scriptures of Musa and Ibrahim say the same: no one bears another’s burden, a person has only what he strives for, and his striving will be seen. It is Allah who makes people laugh and weep, who gives death and life, who created the pairs, and who destroyed ‘Ad, Thamud and the people of Nuh. The Hour has drawn near. So prostrate to Allah and worship Him.
