Read in Context

Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

19. Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza 20. And Manat, the third, the other? 21. Are yours the males and His the females? 22. That indeed were an unfair division! 23. They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them. 24. Or shall man have what he coveteth? 25. But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former. 26. And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth. 27. Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females. 28. And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.

- M. Pickthall
