Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

19. Have you ever thought about al-Lat and al-Uzza, 20. and about the third deity, al-Manat? 21. Shall you have the male issues, and He the female issues? 22. That is indeed an unfair division! 23. These are nothing but names that you and your forefathers have invented, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They are merely following their conjectures and their carnal desires although guidance has come to them from their Lord. 24. Does man imagine that whatever he wishes for is right for him? 25. To Allah belong both the Next World and the present. 26. Numerous are the angels in the heavens; yet their intercession shall be of no avail, except in regard to those whom He grants the leave of intercession and whose plea He is pleased to accept. 27. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter give angels the names of females, 28. although they have no knowledge regarding that. They only follow their conjecture and conjecture can never take the place of the Truth.
