37 Or have they the treasures of thy Lord with them? Or have they absolute authority?

38 Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority.

39 Or has He daughters and you have sons?

40 Or askest thou a reward from them so that they are over-burdened by a debt?

41 Or possess they the unseen, so they write (it) down?

42 Or do they intend a plot? But those who disbelieve will be the ensnared ones in the plot.

43 Or have they a god other than Allāh? Glory be to Allāh from what they set up (with Him)!

44 And if they were to see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled-up clouds!

45 Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they are smitten with punishment:

46 The day when their struggle will avail them naught, nor will they be helped.

47 And surely for those who do wrong there is a chastisement besides that; but most of them know not.

48 And wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, for surely thou art before Our eyes, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord, when thou risest,

49 And in the night, give Him glory, too, and at the setting of the stars.

Chapter 53 Al-Najm: The Star

1 By the star when it sets!

2 Your companion errs not, nor does he deviate.

3 Nor does he speak out of desire.
