It is not fitting for a man that God should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with God's permission, what God wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise. (42:51) Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled. (53:2) Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. (53:3) It is no less than inspiration sent down to him: (53:4) He was taught by one Mighty in Power, (53:5) Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form); (53:6) While he was in the highest part of the horizon: (53:7) Then he approached and came closer, (53:8) And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; (53:9) So did (God) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey. (53:10) The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw. (53:11) |
