(53:1) By the star when it descends, (53:2) Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred, (53:3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (53:4) It is not but a revelation revealed, (53:5) Taught to him by one intense in strength - (53:6) One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form (53:7) While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon. (53:8) Then he approached and descended (53:9) And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer. (53:10) And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed. (53:11) The heart did not lie [about] what it saw. (53:12) So will you dispute with him over what he saw? (53:13) And he certainly saw him in another descent (53:14) At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary - (53:15) Near it is the Garden of Refuge - (53:16) When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]. (53:17) The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]. (53:18) He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
