Chapter 53, 62 verses
Waalnnajmi itha hawa
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Star when it setteth,
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ
AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
Thoo mirratin faistawa
One vigorous; and he grew clear to view
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla
When he was on the uppermost horizon.
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Thumma dana fatadalla
Then he drew nigh and came down
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna
Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha
And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa
The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth ?
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
And verily he saw him yet another time
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
AAinda sidrati almuntaha
By the lote - tree of the utmost boundary,
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ

Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote - tree,
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza
Have ye thought upon Al - Lat and Al - 'Uzza
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
Wamanata alththalithata alokhra
And Manat, the third, the other ?
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ
Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
Are yours the males and His the females ?
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
That indeed were an unfair 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
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.
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
Or shall man have what he coveteth ?
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.
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
Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.
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
And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.
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
Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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).
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
Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away,
أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ
WaaAAta qaleelan waakda
And gave a little, then was grudging ?
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ
aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara
Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth ?
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa
Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Waibraheema allathee waffa
And Abraham who paid his debt:
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ
Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
That no laden one shall bear another's load,
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura
And that his effort will be seen.
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life;
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا
Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female,
وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Min nutfatin itha tumna
From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth;
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wathamooda fama abqa
And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;
وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ
Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha
And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious;

Waalmutafikata ahwa
And Al - Mu'tafikah He destroyed
وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ
Faghashshaha ma ghashsha
So that there covered them that which did cover.
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara
Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute ?
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola
This is a warner of the warners of old.
