23.  *     These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!     These are but names that you made up, you and your forefathers. GOD never authorized such a blasphemy. They follow conjecture, and personal desire, when the true guidance has come to them herein from their Lord.     That truly it is except names, you named it, you and your fathers/forefathers, God did not descend with it from a proof/evidence, that truly they follow except the doubt/suspicion, and what the selves desire/attract, and the guidance had (E) come to them from their Lord.     an hy ala asma' smytmwha antm wabaWkm maanzl allh bha mn slTan an ytb`wn ala alZn wmathwi alanfs wlqd ja'hm mn rbhm alhdi

25.  *     But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.     To GOD belongs both the Hereafter, and this world.     So to God (is) the end (other life) and the first/beginning.     fllh alaKr+ walawli
 
26.  *     How many-so-ever be the angels in the heavens, their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him.     Not even the angels in heaven possess authority to intercede. The only ones permitted by GOD are those who act in accordance with His will and His approval.     And how many from (an) angel (is) in the skies/space, their mediation does not enrich/suffice a thing except from after that God permits/allows to whom He wills/wants/intends, and He accepts/approves.     wkm mn mlk fy alsmawat latGny $fa`thm $yYa ala mn b`d an yaXn allh lmn y$a' wyrDi
 
27.  *     Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.     Those who disbelieve in the Hereafter have given the angels feminine names.     That truly those who do not believe with (in) the end (other life) they name (E) the angels the female's naming.     an alXyn layWmnwn balaKr+ lysmwn almlaYk+ tsmy+ alanxi
 
28.  *     But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.     They had no knowledge about this; they only conjectured. Conjecture is no substitute for the truth.     And (there is) no knowledge for them with it, that truly they follow except the doubt/suspicion, and that truly the doubt/suspicion does not enrich/suffice from the truth a thing.     wmalhm bh mn `lm an ytb`wn ala alZn wan alZn layGny mn alHq $yYa
 
29.  *     Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.     You shall disregard those who turn away from our message, and become preoccupied with this worldly life.     So turn away from who turned away from mentioning/remembering Us, and he did not want/intend except the life the present/worldly life.     fa`rD `n mn twli `n Xkrna wlm yrd ala alHya+ aldnya
 
30.  *     That is as far as knowledge will reach them. Verily thy Lord knoweth best those who stray from His Path, and He knoweth best those who receive guidance.     This is the extent of their knowledge. Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed away from His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.     That (is) their capacity/limit from the knowledge, that truly your Lord, He is more knowledgeable with who was misguided from His way/path, and He is more knowledgeable with who was guided.     Xlk mblGhm mn al`lm an rbk hw a`lm bmn Dl `n sbylh whw a`lm bmn ahtdi
 
31.  *     Yea, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: so that He rewards those who do evil, according to their deeds, and He rewards those who do good, with what is best.     To GOD belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He will requite those who commit evil for their works, and will reward the righteous for their righteousness.     And to God what (is) in the skies/space and what (is) in the earth/Planet Earth, to reimburse those who did bad/evil because (of) what they made/did, and reimburse those who did good with the best/goodness.     wllh mafy alsmawat wmafy alarD lyjzy alXyn asawa bma `mlwa wyjzy alXyn aHsnwa balHsni
 
32.  *     Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers' wombs. Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against evil.     They avoid gross sins and transgressions, except for minor offenses. Your Lord's forgiveness is immense. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in your mothers' bellies. Therefore, do not exalt yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous.     Those who avoid/distance themselves (from) the sin's/crime's greatest/biggest and the enormous/atrocious deeds, except the minor sins, that truly your Lord (is) rich/spread (in) the forgiveness, He is more knowledgeable with (of) you, when He created/originated you from the earth/Planet Earth and when you are embryos/fetuses/hidden in your mother's bellies/insides, so do not commend/claim righteousness (for) yourselves, He is more knowledgeable with who feared and obeyed.     alXyn yjtnbwn kbaYr alaxm walfwaH$ ala allmm an rbk was` almGfr+ hw a`lm bkm aX an$akm mn alarD waX antm ajn+ fy bTwn amhatkm fla tzkwa anfskm hw a`lm bmn atqi

34.  *     Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)?     Rarely did he give to charity, and then very little.     And gave little and skimped/stinged?     wa`Ti qlyla wakdi
 
35.  *     What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see?     Did he possess knowledge of the future? Could he see it?     Is it at him the unseen's/absents knowledge so he sees/understands ?     a`ndh `lm alGyb fhw yri
 
36.  *     Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses-     Was he not informed of the teachings in the scripture of Moses?     Or he did not get informed with what (is) in Moses' sheets/pages (scriptures) ?     am lm ynba bma fy SHf mwsi
 
37.  *     And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?-     And Abraham who fulfilled?     And Abraham who fulfilled/completed.     wabrahym alXy wfi
 
38.  *     Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another;     No soul bears the sins of another soul.     That no sinner/burdener bears/carries another's sin/burden.     ala tzr wazr+ wzr aKri
