An-Najm 53:28

<h2>Refuting the Claim of the Idolators that the Angels are Allah's Daughters</h2><p>Allah the Exalted admonishes the idolators for calling the angels female names and claiming that they are Allah's daughters. Allah is far removed from what they ascribe to Him. Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah,</p><p>وَجَعَلُواْ الْمَلَـئِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَـنِ إِنَـثاً أَشَهِدُواْ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَـدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَلُونَ</p><p>(And they make females the angels, who themselves are servants of the Most Gracious. Did they witness their creation Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned!)(43:19) Allah's statement here,</p><p>وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ</p><p>(But they have no knowledge thereof.) meaning, they have no correct knowledge testifying to their statements. What they say is all lies, falsehood, fake and utter atheism,</p><p>إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلاَّ الظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لاَ يُغْنِى مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئاً</p><p>(They follow but conjecture, and verily, conjecture is no substitute for the truth.) meaning, conjecture is of no benefit and never takes the place of truth. In a Hadith recorded in the Sahih, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,</p><p>«إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ، فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيث»</p><p>(Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most lying speech.)</p><h2>The Necessity of turning away from the People of Misguidance</h2><p>Allah's statement,</p><p>فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّى عَن ذِكْرِنَا</p><p>(Therefore withdraw from him who …

And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.

But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.

While they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and verily, guess is no substitute for the truth.

They have no knowledge of that. They only follow assumptions, and assumptions are no substitute for the truth.
