An-Najm

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

By the star when it descends,

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ

It is not but a revelation revealed,

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ

Taught to him by one intense in strength -

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

Then he approached and descended

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ

And he certainly saw him in another descent

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ

Near it is the Garden of Refuge -

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ

And Manat, the third - the other one?

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ

Is the male for you and for Him the female?

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ

That, then, is an unjust division.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

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

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.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

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

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.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

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

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

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

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.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

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

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] -

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

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

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.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ

Have you seen the one who turned away

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًۭا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ

And gave a little and [then] refrained?

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ

And that his effort is going to be seen -

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ

And that to your Lord is the finality

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا

And that it is He who causes death and gives life

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ

And the overturned towns He hurled down

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ

And covered them by that which He covered.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

هَٰذَا نَذِيرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَزِفَتِ ٱلْءَازِفَةُ

The Approaching Day has approached.

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ

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

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

أَفَمِنْ هَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ

Then at this statement do you wonder?

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ

And you laugh and do not weep

Saheeh International · Arabic: Tanzil Uthmani edition

وَأَنتُمْ سَٰمِدُونَ
