53:22-48
53:22
Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!
53:23
These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent
down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!-
Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!
53:24
Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after?
53:25
But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.
53:26
How many-so-ever be the angels in the heavens, their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him.
53:27
Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.
How can they assign gender to the angels at all! Their belief that angels were God’s daughter was
without basis. Islam holds that the angels have no gender.

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.

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.

53:48
That it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction;
