An-Najm

Translation

By the star when it descends,

Translation

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

Translation

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

Translation

It is not but a revelation revealed,

Translation

Taught to him by one intense in strength -

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then he approached and descended

Translation

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

Translation

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.

Translation

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.

Translation

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

Translation

And he certainly saw him in another descent

Translation

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

Translation

Near it is the Garden of Refuge -

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

Translation

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

Translation

And Manat, the third - the other one?

Translation

Is the male for you and for Him the female?

Translation

That, then, is an unjust division.

Translation

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.

Translation

Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

Translation

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

Translation

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.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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.

Translation

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] -

Translation

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.

Translation

Have you seen the one who turned away

Translation

And gave a little and [then] refrained?

Translation

Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

Translation

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

Translation

And that his effort is going to be seen -

Translation

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

Translation

And that to your Lord is the finality

Translation

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

Translation

And that it is He who causes death and gives life

Translation

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

Translation

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

Translation

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

Translation

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

Translation

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

Translation

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

Translation

And Thamud - and He did not spare [them] -

Translation

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

Translation

And the overturned towns He hurled down

Translation

And covered them by that which He covered.

Translation

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?

Translation

This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners.

Translation

The Approaching Day has approached.

Translation

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

Translation

Then at this statement do you wonder?

Translation

And you laugh and do not weep

Translation

While you are proudly sporting?

Translation

So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him].
