53:1By the star as it goes down.

53:4It is but a revelation revealed.

53:9He was within two bows’ length, or closer.

53:11The heart did not lie about what it saw.

53:12Will you dispute with him concerning what he saw?

53:14At the Lotus Tree of the Extremity.

53:23These are nothing but names, which you have devised, you and your ancestors, for which God sent down no authority. They follow nothing but assumptions, and what the ego desires, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord.

53:28They have no knowledge of that. They only follow assumptions, and assumptions are no substitute for the truth.

53:49And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius.

53:50And that it is He who destroyed the first Aad.

53:53And He toppled the ruined cities.

53:54And covered them with whatever covered them.

53:57The inevitable is imminent.

53:58None besides God can unveil it.

53:61Lost in your frivolity?
