They are naught but names which you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent for them any authority. They follow naught but conjecture and the low desires which (their) souls incline to; and certainly the guidance has come to them from their Lord (۲۳)

Or shall man have what he wishes? (۲۴)

Nay! for Allah is the hereafter and the former (life) (۲۵)

And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses (۲۶)

Most surely they who do not believe in the hereafter name the angels with female names (۲۷)

And they have no knowledge of it; they do not follow anything but conjecture, and surely conjecture does not avail against the truth at all (۲۸)

Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire anything but this world's life (۲۹)

That is their goal of knowledge; surely your Lord knows best him who goes astray from His path and He knows best him who follows the right direction (۳۰)

And Allah's is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil according to what they do, and (that) He may reward those who do good with goodness (۳۱)

Those who keep aloof from the great sins and the indecencies but the passing idea; surely your Lord is liberal in forgiving. He knows you best when He brings you forth from the earth and when you are embryos in the wombs of your mothers; therefore do not attribute purity to your souls; He knows him best who guards (against evil) (۳۲)
