S:  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.

053.027 Y:  Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.

P:  Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.

S:  Most surely they who do not believe in the hereafter name the angels with female names.

053.028 Y:  But they have no knowledge therein.  They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.

P:  And they have no knowledge thereof.  They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.

S:  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.

053.029 Y:  Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.

P:  Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.

S:  Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire anything but this world’s life.

053.030 Y:  That is as far as knowledge will reach them.  Verily thy Lord knoweth best those who stray from His Path, and He knoweth best those who receive guidance.

P:  Such is their sum of knowledge.  Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right.

S:  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.

053.031 Y:  Yea, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth:  so that He rewards those who do evil, according to their deeds, and He rewards those who do good, with what is best.

P:  And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness.

S:  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.

053.032 Y:  Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness.  He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, and when ye are hidden in your mothers’ wombs.  Therefore justify not yourselves:  He knows best who it is that guards against evil.

P:  Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences — (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy.  He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers.  Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves.  He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).
