Yusuf Ali
By the Star when it goes down,-
Yusuf Ali
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
Yusuf Ali
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
Yusuf Ali
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
Yusuf Ali
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
Yusuf Ali
Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);
Yusuf Ali
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
Yusuf Ali
Then he approached and came closer,
Yusuf Ali
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
Yusuf Ali
So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
Yusuf Ali
The (Prophet´s) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
Yusuf Ali
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
Yusuf Ali
For indeed he saw him at a second descent,
Yusuf Ali
Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:
Yusuf Ali
Near it is the Garden of Abode.
Yusuf Ali
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)
Yusuf Ali
(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!
Yusuf Ali
For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!
Yusuf Ali
Have ye seen Lat. and ´Uzza,
Yusuf Ali
And another, the third (goddess), Manat?
