النجم

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

   ✦1

   By the star when it descends

2. مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

   ✦2

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

3. وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ

   ✦3

   Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination

4. إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيٞ يُوحَىٰ

   ✦4

   It is not but a revelation revealed

5. عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ

   ✦5

   Taught to him by one intense in strength

6. ذُو مِرَّةٖ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ

   ✦6

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

7. وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

   ✦7

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

8. ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

   ✦8

   Then he approached and descended

9. فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ

   ✦9

   And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer

10. فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ

    ✦10

    And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed

11. مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ

    ✦11

    The heart did not lie [about] what it saw

12. أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ

    ✦12

    So will you dispute with him over what he saw

13. وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ

    ✦13

    And he certainly saw him in another descent

14. عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

    ✦14

    At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary

15. عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ

    ✦15

    Near it is the Garden of Refuge

16. إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ

    ✦16

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

17. مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ

    ✦17

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

18. لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ

    ✦18

    He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord

19. أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلۡعُزَّىٰ

    ✦19

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

20. وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ

    ✦20

    And Manat, the third - the other one

21. أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

    ✦21

    Is the male for you and for Him the female

22. تِلۡكَ إِذٗا قِسۡمَةٞ ضِيزَىٰٓ

    ✦22

    That, then, is an unjust division

23. إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءٞ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٍۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ

    ✦23

    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

24. أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

    ✦24

    Or is there for man whatever he wishes

25. فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

    ✦25

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

26. ۞وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِي شَفَٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن يَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرۡضَىٰٓ

    ✦26

    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

27. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

    ✦27

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

28. وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـٔٗا

    ✦28

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

29. فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ يُرِدۡ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

    ✦29

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

30. ذَٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ

    ✦30

    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

31. وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

    ✦31

    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]

32. ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةٞ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ

    ✦32

    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

33. أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ

    ✦33

    Have you seen the one who turned away

34. وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ

    ✦34

    And gave a little and [then] refrained

35. أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

    ✦35

    Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees

36. أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ

    ✦36

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

37. وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ

    ✦37

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

38. أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

    ✦38

    That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

39. وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

    ✦39

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

40. وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

    ✦40

    And that his effort is going to be seen

41. ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

    ✦41

    Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

42. وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

    ✦42

    And that to your Lord is the finality

43. وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

    ✦43

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

44. وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَا

    ✦44

    And that it is He who causes death and gives life

45. وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

    ✦45

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

46. مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ

    ✦46

    From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

47. وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ

    ✦47

    And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

48. وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ

    ✦48

    And that it is He who enriches and suffices

49. وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ

    ✦49

    And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

50. وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

    ✦50

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

51. وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ

    ✦51

    And Thamud - and He did not spare [them]

52. وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ

    ✦52

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

53. وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ

    ✦53

    And the overturned towns He hurled down

54. فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ

    ✦54

    And covered them by that which He covered

55. فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ

    ✦55

    Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt

56. هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ

    ✦56

    This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners

57. أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ

    ✦57

    The Approaching Day has approached

58. لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ

    ✦58

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

59. أَفَمِنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ

    ✦59

    Then at this statement do you wonder

60. وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ

    ✦60

    And you laugh and do not weep

61. وَأَنتُمۡ سَٰمِدُونَ

    ✦61

    While you are proudly sporting

62. فَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ۩

    ✦62

    So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]
