An-Najm

Waalnnajmi itha hawa

By the star when it descends

Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa

Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred

Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination

In huwa illa wahyun yooha

It is not but a revelation revealed

AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa

Taught to him by one intense in strength

Thoo mirratin faistawa

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

Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla

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

Thumma dana fatadalla

Then he approached and descended

Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer

Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed

Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw

Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara

So will you dispute with him over what he saw

Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

And he certainly saw him in another descent

AAinda sidrati almuntaha

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary

AAindaha jannatu almawa

Near it is the Garden of Refuge

Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha

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

Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]

Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord

Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza

So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza

Wamanata alththalithata alokhra

And Manat, the third - the other one

Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha

Is the male for you and for Him the female

Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

That, then, is an unjust division

In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wama tahwa alanfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda

They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allah 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

Am lilinsani ma tamanna

Or is there for man whatever he wishes

Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola

Rather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]

Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda

And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allah has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves

Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha

Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names

Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan

And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all

FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya

So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life

Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided

Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna

And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward]

Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him

Afaraayta allathee tawalla

Have you seen the one who turned away

WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

And gave a little and [then] refrained

aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees

Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses

Waibraheema allathee waffa

And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations]

Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

And that his effort is going to be seen

Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

And that to your Lord is the finality

Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep

Waannahu huwa amata waahya

And that it is He who causes death and gives life

Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female

Min nutfatin itha tumna

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola

And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad

Wathamooda fama abqa

And Thamud - and He did not spare [them]

Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing

Waalmutafikata ahwa

And the overturned towns He hurled down

Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

And covered them by that which He covered

Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt

Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola

This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners

Azifati alazifatu

The Approaching Day has approached

Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun

Of it, [from those] besides Allah, there is no remover

Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona

Then at this statement do you wonder

Watadhakoona wala tabkoona

And you laugh and do not weep

Waantum samidoona

While you are proudly sporting

Faosjudoo lillahi waoAAbudoo

So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]
