Commentary on 53:19

وبعد هذا التصوير البديع لما كان عليه النبى - صلى الله عليه وسلم - من حق واضح ، ومن تكريم عظيم ومن طاعة تامة لخالقه - عز وجل - بعد كل ذلك أخذت السورة الكريمة ، فى تصوير ما عليه المشركون من باطل وجهل وفى تبكيتهم على عبادتهم لأصنام لا تسمع ولا تبصر ، ولا تملك الدفاع عن نفسها فضلا عن غيرها . . . فقال - تعالى - :( أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللات . . . ) .والهمزة فى قوله : ( أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ ) للإنكار والتهكم ، والفاء لترتيب الرؤية على ما سبق ذكره من صفات جليلة لله - تعالى - تدل على وحدانيته ، وكمال قدرته ، ومن ثناء على النبى - صلى الله عليه وسلم - والرؤية هنا ، علمية ومفعلوها الثانى محذوف ، لدلالة قوله - سبحانه - ( أَلَكُمُ الذكر وَلَهُ الأنثى ) عليه .و " اللات " اسم لصنم كان لثقيف بالطائف . قال الشاعر :وفرت ثقيف إلى " لاتها " ... بمنقلب الخائب الخاسروكان هذا الصنم على هيئة صخرة مربعة ، قد بنوا عليه بناء ونقشوا عليه نقوشا ، وكانت قريش وجمهور العرب ، يعظمونه ويعبدونه . . .وكأنهم قد سموه بهذا الاسم ، على سبيل الاشتقاق من اسم الله - تعالى - فقالوا " اللات " قصداً للتأنيث .و ( والعزى ) : فُعْلَى من العز . وهى اسم لصنم ، وقيل لشجرة حولها بناء وأستار ، وكانت بمكان يقال له نخلة ، بين مكة والطائف ، وكانت قريش تعظمها ، كما قال أبو سفيان يوم أحد " لنا العزى ولا عزى لكم " .فقال - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قولوا له : " الله مولانا ولا مولى لكم " .ولعلهم قد سموها بذلك . أخذا من لفظ العزيز ، أو من لفظ العز ، فهى تأنيث الأعز ، كالفضلى والأفضل .

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

53:1

وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ ١

By the star when it descends,

53:2

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ ٢

Your companion [i.e., Muḥammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

53:3

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ ٣

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

53:4

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيٞ يُوحَىٰ ٤

It is not but a revelation revealed,

53:5

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ ٥

Taught to him by one intense in strength [i.e., Gabriel] -

53:6

ذُو مِرَّةٖ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ ٦

One of soundness.1 And he rose to [his] true form2

2 translator’s notes

وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٧

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.1

53:8

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ ٨

Then he approached and descended

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

53:10

فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ ١٠

And he revealed to His Servant1 what he revealed [i.e., conveyed].

53:11

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ ١١

The heart1 did not lie [about] what it saw.

1 translator’s note
  1. i.e., mind or perception (of the Prophet [ﷺ]). ↩

53:12

أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ ١٢

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

53:13

وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ١٣

And he certainly saw him in another descent1

1 translator’s note

عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ ١٤

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

53:15

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ ١٥

Near it is the Garden of Refuge [i.e., Paradise] -

53:16

إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١٦

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].1

53:17

مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ١٧

53:18

لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ ١٨

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

53:19

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلۡعُزَّىٰ ١٩

So have you considered al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā?

53:20

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ ٢٠

And Manāt, the third - the other one?1

1 translator’s note
  1. The three names given in this and the previous verse are those of well-known "goddesses" which were worshipped by the pagan Arabs before the spread of Islām. ↩

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ٢١

Is the male for you and for Him the female?

53:22

تِلۡكَ إِذٗا قِسۡمَةٞ ضِيزَىٰٓ ٢٢

That, then, is an unjust division.1

1 translator’s note
  1. According to their own standards. ↩

53:23

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 ٢٣

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.

53:24

أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ ٢٤

Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

53:25

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ٢٥

Rather, to Allāh belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

53:26

۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِي شَفَٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن يَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرۡضَىٰٓ ٢٦

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.
