Read in Context

Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

19. So have you considered al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā? 20. And Manāt, the third - the other one? 21. Is the male for you and for Him the female? 22. That, then, is an unjust division. 23. They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allāh has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance. 24. Or is there for man whatever he wishes? 25. Rather, to Allāh belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]. 26. And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allāh has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves. 27. Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names, 28. And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.
