An-Najm 53:23 ان هي الا اسماء سميتموها انتم واباوكم ما انزل الله بها من سلطان ان يتبعون الا الظن وما تهوى الانفس ولقد جاءهم من ربهم الهدى ٢٣
إِنۡ
هِيَ
إِلَّآ
أَسۡمَآءٞ
سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ
أَنتُمۡ
وَءَابَآؤُكُم
مَّآ
أَنزَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
بِهَا
مِن
سُلۡطَٰنٍۚ
إِن
يَتَّبِعُونَ
إِلَّا
ٱلظَّنَّ
وَمَا
تَهۡوَى
ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ
وَلَقَدۡ
جَآءَهُم
مِّن
رَّبِّهِمُ
ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ
