I swear by the star when it goes down.
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
ما ضل صاحبكم وما غوى
Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray;
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
وما ينطق عن الهوى
Nor does he speak out of desire.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
إن هو إلا وحي يوحى
It is naught but revelation that is revealed,

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Thumma dana fatadalla
ثم دنا فتدلى
Then he drew near, then he bowed
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna
فكان قاب قوسين أو أدنى
So he was the measure of two bows or closer still.
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha
فأوحى إلى عبده ما أوحى
And He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ

The heart was not untrue in (making him see) what he saw.
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
أفتمارونه على ما يرى
What! do you then dispute with him as to what he saw?
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
ولقد رآه نزلة أخرى
And certainly he saw him in another descent,
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
AAinda sidrati almuntaha
عند سدرة المنتهى
At the farthest lote - tree;
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
AAindaha jannatu almawa
عندها جنة المأوى
Near which is the garden, the place to be resorted to.
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
إذ يغشى السدرة ما يغشى
When that which covers covered the lote - tree;
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
ما زاغ البصر وما طغى
The eye did not turn aside, nor did it exceed the limit.
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
لقد رأى من آيات ربه الكبرى
Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza
أفرأيتم اللات والعزى
Have you then considered the Lat and the Uzza,
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
Wamanata alththalithata alokhra
ومناة الثالثة الأخرى
And Manat, the third, the last?
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ
Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
ألكم الذكر وله الأنثى
What! for you the males and for Him the females!
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
تلك إذا قسمة ضيزى
This indeed is an unjust division!
تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىٰٓ
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
إن هي إلا أسماء سميتموها أنتم وآباؤكم ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان ۚ إن يتبعون إلا الظن وما تهوى الأنفس ۖ ولقد جاءهم من ربهم الهدى
They are naught but names which you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent for them any authority. They follow naught but conjecture and the low desires which (their) souls incline to; and certainly the guidance has come to them from their Lord.
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْ
Am lilinsani ma tamanna
أم للإنسان ما تمنى
Or shall man have what he wishes?
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
فلله الآخرة والأولى
Nay! for Allah is the hereafter and the former (life).
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
۞ وكم من ملك في السماوات لا تغني شفاعتهم شيئا إلا من بعد أن يأذن الله لمن يشاء ويرضى
And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses.
وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ
Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha
إن الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة ليسمون الملائكة تسمية الأنثى
Most surely they who do not believe in the hereafter name the angels with female names.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan
وما لهم به من علم ۖ إن يتبعون إلا الظن ۖ وإن الظن لا يغني من الحق شيئا
And they have no knowledge of it; they do not follow anything but conjecture, and surely conjecture does not avail against the truth at all.
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔا
FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya
فأعرض عن من تولى عن ذكرنا ولم يرد إلا الحياة الدنيا
Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire anything but this world's life.
فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada
ذلك مبلغهم من العلم ۚ إن ربك هو أعلم بمن ضل عن سبيله وهو أعلم بمن اهتدى
That is their goal of knowledge; surely your Lord knows best him who goes astray from His path and He knows best him who follows the right direction.
ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ
Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna
ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ليجزي الذين أساءوا بما عملوا ويجزي الذين أحسنوا بالحسنى
And Allah's is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil according to what they do, and (that) He may reward those who do good with goodness.
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى
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
الذين يجتنبون كبائر الإثم والفواحش إلا اللمم ۚ إن ربك واسع المغفرة ۚ هو أعلم بكم إذ أنشأكم من الأرض وإذ أنتم أجنة في بطون أمهاتكم ۖ فلا تزكوا أنفسكم ۖ هو أعلم بمن اتقى
Those who keep aloof from the great sins and the indecencies but the passing idea; surely your Lord is liberal in forgiving. He knows you best when He brings you forth from the earth and when you are embryos in the wombs of your mothers; therefore do not attribute purity to your souls; He knows him best who guards (against evil).
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّه
Afaraayta allathee tawalla
أفرأيت الذي تولى
Have you then seen him who turns his back?
أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ
WaaAAta qaleelan waakda
وأعطى قليلا وأكدى
And gives a little and (then) withholds.
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ
aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara
أعنده علم الغيب فهو يرى
Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see?
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa
أم لم ينبأ بما في صحف موسى
Or, has he not been of what is in the scriptures of Musa?
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Waibraheema allathee waffa
وإبراهيم الذي وفى
And (of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments):
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ
Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
ألا تزر وازرة وزر أخرى
That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another -
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعى
And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for -

ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ
Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha
وأن إلى ربك المنتهى

Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka
وأنه هو أضحك وأبكى
And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep;
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ
Waannahu huwa amata waahya
وأنه هو أمات وأحيا

Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha
وقوم نوح من قبل ۖ إنهم كانوا هم أظلم وأطغى
And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate;
