The Star (an-Najm)

¹ By the star as it goes down.

² The Prophet Mohammad:

• has not strayed nor erred.
• ³ nor does he speak out of his own inclination.

⁴ He speaks from a revelation revealed, ⁵ taught to him by the extremely powerful Gabriel.

Gabriel appeared in his true form to Mohammad while Mohammad’s mind was in the higher part of the sky.

• Then Gabriel approached and descended and was at a distance of two bow-lengths or nearer, then revealed to Mohammad

Mohammad’s heart did not lie about what it saw.

• He saw Gabriel at another instance at the Lotus Tree of the Utmost Boundary
  • Near it is the Garden of Refuge covered by the Lotus Tree
• Mohammad’s sight did not waver, nor did it exceed the limit of the Garden.
  • He certanly saw some of the Great Signs of his Lord.

Do you believe:

• in al-Lat, al-Uzza, Manat, the third one the other [Shiva, Shakti, Brahma?]
• that Allah is female [Shakti] and you are males [Shiva]?

²² How absurd.

These are nothing but names, which your ancestors devised. They:

• have no authority from Allah
• follow only assumptions, and what the ego desires
• have forgotten the guidance from their Lord.

²⁴ Do humans believe whatever he wants?

• ²⁷ Those who do not believe in the Hereafter assign female names to the angels. But they are ignorant.
• ²⁸ Avoid those who have:
  • turned away from Our remembrance, and
  • desire only the present life. They only know the present life.

³¹ Allah will repay those who do evil according to their deeds, and recompense those who do good.

^42-62 Allah:

• is the finality
• created the two kinds—the male and the female from a sperm drop, when emitted.

• is the Lord of Sirius.
• destroyed:
  • the first people of Aad and Thamood, sparing no one.
  • the people of Noah before that for they were most unjust and most oppressive.
