Y: And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of
hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired
into (on the Day of Reckoning).

hearing and the sight and the heart, all of these, shall be questioned
about that.

(O Muhammad). And set not up with Allah any other god, lest thou be
cast into hell, reproved, abandoned.

S: This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom, and do not
associate any other god with Allah lest you should be thrown into hell,
blamed, cast away.

Himself daughters among the angels? Truly ye utter a most dreadful
saying!

sons, and hath chosen for Himself females from among the angels? Lo!
verily ye speak an awful word!

Himself) taken daughters from among the angels? Most surely you utter a
grievous saying.
