Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

19. Have you then considered Al-Lât, and Al-‘Uzzâ (two idols of the pagan Arabs) 20. And Manât (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third? 21. Is it for you the males and for Him the females? 22. That indeed is a division most unfair! 23. They are but names which you have named - you and your fathers - for which Allâh has sent down no authority. They follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire, whereas there has surely come to them the Guidance from their Lord! 24. Or shall man have what he wishes? 25. But to Allâh belongs the last (Hereafter) and the first (the world). 26. And there are many angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing except after Allâh has given leave for whom He wills and is pleased with. 27. Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names. 28. But they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and verily, guess is no substitute for the truth.
