An-Najm

1. 1

   By the Star when it setteth,

   وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

2. 2

   Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;

   مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

3. 3

   Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.

   وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ

4. 4

   It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,

   إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ

5. 5

   Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,

   عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ

6. 6

   One vigorous; and he grew clear to view

   ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ

7. 7

   When he was on the uppermost horizon.

   وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

8. 8

   Then he drew nigh and came down

   ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

9. 9

   Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,

   فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ

10. 10

    And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.

    فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ

11. 11

    The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.

    مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ

12. 12

    Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth?

    أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ

13. 13

    And verily he saw him yet another time

    وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ

14. 14

    By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary,

    عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ

15. 15

    Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.

    عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ

16. 16

    When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,

    إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ

17. 17

    The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.

    مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ

18. 18

    Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.

    لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ

19. 19

    Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza

    أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ

20. 20

    And Manat, the third, the other?

    وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ

21. 21

    Are yours the males and His the females?

    أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ

22. 22

    That indeed were an unfair division!

    تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ

23. 23

    They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.

    إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

24. 24

    Or shall man have what he coveteth?

    أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

25. 25

    But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.

    فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

26. 26

    And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.

    ۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ

27. 27

    Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ

28. 28

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

    وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًۭٔا

29. 29

    Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.

    فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

30. 30

    Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right.

    ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ

31. 31

    And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness.

    وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى

32. 32

    Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌۭ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ

33. 33

    Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away,

    أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ

34. 34

    And gave a little, then was grudging?

    وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًۭا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ

35. 35

    Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth?

    أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

36. 36

    Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses

    أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ

37. 37

    And Abraham who paid his debt:

    وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ

38. 38

    That no laden one shall bear another's load,

    أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ

39. 39

    And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,

    وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

40. 40

    And that his effort will be seen.

    وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ

41. 41

    And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment;

    ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ

42. 42

    And that thy Lord, He is the goal;

    وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ

43. 43

    And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep,

    وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ

44. 44

    And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life;

    وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا

45. 45

    And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female,

    وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ

46. 46

    From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth;

    مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ

47. 47

    And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth;

    وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ

48. 48

    And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;

    وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ

49. 49

    And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius;

    وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ

50. 50

    And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad,

    وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ

51. 51

    And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;

    وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ

52. 52

    And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious;

    وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ

53. 53

    And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed

    وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ

54. 54

    So that there covered them that which did cover.

    فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ

55. 55

    Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute?

    فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ

56. 56

    This is a warner of the warners of old.

    هَٰذَا نَذِيرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

57. 57

    The threatened Hour is nigh.

    أَزِفَتِ ٱلْءَازِفَةُ

58. 58

    None beside Allah can disclose it.

    لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ

59. 59

    Marvel ye then at this statement,

    أَفَمِنْ هَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ

60. 60

    And laugh and not weep,

    وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ

61. 61

    While ye amuse yourselves?

    وَأَنتُمْ سَٰمِدُونَ

62. 62

    Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him.

    فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ ۩
