An-Najm

وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

By the Star when it setteth

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived

وَمَا یَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰۤ

Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡیࣱ یُوحَىٰ

It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِیدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ

Which one of mighty powers hath taught him

ذُو مِرَّةࣲ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ

One vigorous; and he grew clear to view

وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

When he was on the uppermost horizon

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

Then he drew nigh and came down

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَیۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ

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

فَأَوۡحَىٰۤ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَاۤ أَوۡحَىٰ

And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰۤ

The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw

أَفَتُمَـٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا یَرَىٰ

Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth

وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ

And verily he saw him yet another time

عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰۤ

Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode

إِذۡ یَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا یَغۡشَىٰ

When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree

مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ

The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold

لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَایَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰۤ

Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord

أَفَرَءَیۡتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلۡعُزَّىٰ

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

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰۤ

And Manat, the third, the other

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

Are yours the males and His the females

تِلۡكَ إِذࣰا قِسۡمَةࣱ ضِیزَىٰۤ

That indeed were an unfair division

إِنۡ هِیَ إِلَّاۤ أَسۡمَاۤءࣱ سَمَّیۡتُمُوهَاۤ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَاۤؤُكُم مَّاۤ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَـٰنٍۚ إِن یَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰۤ

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

أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

Or shall man have what he coveteth

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

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

۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكࣲ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِی شَفَـٰعَتُهُمۡ شَیۡءًا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن یَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن یَشَاۤءُ وَیَرۡضَىٰۤ

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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ لَیُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤئِكَةَ تَسۡمِیَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

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

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن یَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا یُغۡنِی مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَیۡءࣰا

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

فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ یُرِدۡ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَیَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا

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

ذَ ٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِیلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ

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

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَمَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِیَجۡزِیَ ٱلَّذِینَ أَسَـٰۤءُوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَیَجۡزِیَ ٱلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

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

ٱلَّذِینَ یَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰۤئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَ ٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَ ٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةࣱ فِی بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوۤا۟ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰۤ

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)

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ ٱلَّذِی تَوَلَّىٰ

Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away

وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِیلࣰا وَأَكۡدَىٰۤ

And gave a little, then was grudging

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَیۡبِ فَهُوَ یَرَىٰۤ

Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth

أَمۡ لَمۡ یُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِی صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ

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

وَإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ٱلَّذِی وَفَّىٰۤ

And Abraham who paid his debt

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

That no laden one shall bear another's load

وَأَن لَّیۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort

وَأَنَّ سَعۡیَهُۥ سَوۡفَ یُرَىٰ

And that his effort will be seen

ثُمَّ یُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَاۤءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

And that thy Lord, He is the goal

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡیَا

And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَیۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

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

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ

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

وَأَنَّ عَلَیۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ

And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ

And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ

And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius

وَأَنَّهُۥۤ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

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

وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَاۤ أَبۡقَىٰ

And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ

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

وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ

And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ

So that there covered them that which did cover

فَبِأَیِّ ءَالَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ

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

هَـٰذَا نَذِیرࣱ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۤ

This is a warner of the warners of old

أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡءَازِفَةُ

The threatened Hour is nigh

لَیۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ

None beside Allah can disclose it

أَفَمِنۡ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِیثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ

Marvel ye then at this statement

وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ

And laugh and not weep

وَأَنتُمۡ سَـٰمِدُونَ

While ye amuse yourselves

فَ̅ٱ̅سۡ̅جُ̅دُ̅و̅ا۟̅ لِلَّهِ وَٱعۡبُدُوا۟ ۩

Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him
