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.

53:26How many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession avails nothing, except after God gives permission to whomever He wills, and approves?

53:29So avoid him who has turned away from Our remembrance, and desires nothing but the present life.
