Waalnnajmi itha hawa
I swear by the star when it goes down.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنجم إذا هوى
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray;
ما ضل صاحبكم وما غوى
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
Nor does he speak out of desire.
وما ينطق عن الهوى
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
It is naught but revelation that is revealed,
إن هو إلا وحي يوحى
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ
AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him,
علمه شديد القوى
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
Thoo mirratin faistawa
The Lord of Strength; so he attained completion,
ذو مرة فاستوى
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla
And he is in the highest part of the horizon.
وهو بالأفق الأعلى
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Thumma dana fatadalla
Then he drew near, then he bowed
ثم دنا فتدلى
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna
So he was the measure of two bows or closer still.
فكان قاب قوسين أو أدنى
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha
And He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
فأوحى إلى عبده ما أوحى
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa
The heart was not untrue in (making him see) what he saw.
ما كذب الفؤاد ما رأى
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
What! do you then dispute with him as to what he saw?
أفتمارونه على ما يرى
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
And certainly he saw him in another descent,
ولقد رآه نزلة أخرى
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
AAinda sidrati almuntaha
At the farthest lote - tree;
عند سدرة المنتهى
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
AAindaha jannatu almawa
Near which is the garden, the place to be resorted to.
عندها جنة المأوى
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
When that which covers covered the lote - tree;
إذ يغشى السدرة ما يغشى
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
The eye did not turn aside, nor did it exceed the limit.
ما زاغ البصر وما طغى
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
لقد رأى من آيات ربه الكبرى
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza
Have you then considered the Lat and the Uzza,
أفرأيتم اللات والعزى
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
Wamanata alththalithata alokhra
And Manat, the third, the last?
ومناة الثالثة الأخرى
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ
Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
What! for you the males and for Him the females!
ألكم الذكر وله الأنثى
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
This indeed is an unjust division!
تلك إذا قسمة ضيزى
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 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.
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
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 wishes?
أم للإنسان ما تمنى
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
Nay! for Allah is the hereafter and the former (life).
فلله الآخرة والأولى
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
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.
۞ وكم من ملك في السماوات لا تغني شفاعتهم شيئا إلا من بعد أن يأذن الله لمن يشاء ويرضى
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
Most surely they who do not believe in the hereafter name the angels with female names.
إن الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة ليسمون الملائكة تسمية الأنثى
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 of it; they do not follow anything but conjecture, and surely conjecture does not avail against the truth at all.
وما لهم به من علم ۖ إن يتبعون إلا الظن ۖ وإن الظن لا يغني من الحق شيئا
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
Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire anything but this world's life.
فأعرض عن من تولى عن ذكرنا ولم يرد إلا الحياة الدنيا
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
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.
ذلك مبلغهم من العلم ۚ إن ربك هو أعلم بمن ضل عن سبيله وهو أعلم بمن اهتدى
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 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.
ولله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ليجزي الذين أساءوا بما عملوا ويجزي الذين أحسنوا بالحسنى
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 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).
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
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
Have you then seen him who turns his back?
أفرأيت الذي تولى
أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ
WaaAAta qaleelan waakda
And gives a little and (then) withholds.
وأعطى قليلا وأكدى
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ
aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara
Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see?
أعنده علم الغيب فهو يرى
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa
Or, has he not been of what is in the scriptures of Musa?
أم لم ينبأ بما في صحف موسى
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Waibraheema allathee waffa
And (of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments):
وإبراهيم الذي وفى
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ
Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another -
ألا تزر وازرة وزر أخرى
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for -
وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعى
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura
And that his striving shall soon be seen -
وأن سعيه سوف يرى
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa
Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullest reward -
ثم يجزاه الجزاء الأوفى
ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ
Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha
And that to your Lord is the goal -
وأن إلى ربك المنتهى
وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka
And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep;
وأنه هو أضحك وأبكى
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ
Waannahu huwa amata waahya
And that He it is Who causes death and gives life -
وأنه هو أمات وأحيا
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا
Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
And that He created pairs, the male and the female
وأنه خلق الزوجين الذكر والأنثى
وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Min nutfatin itha tumna
From the small seed when it is adapted
من نطفة إذا تمنى
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ
Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra
And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time;
وأن عليه النشأة الأخرى
وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ
Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna
And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold;
وأنه هو أغنى وأقنى
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ
Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra
And that He is the Lord of the Sirius;
وأنه هو رب الشعرى
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ
Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola
And that He did destroy the Ad of old
وأنه أهلك عادا الأولى
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wathamooda fama abqa
And Samood, so He spared not
وثمود فما أبقى
وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ
Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha
And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate;
وقوم نوح من قبل ۖ إنهم كانوا هم أظلم وأطغى
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ
Waalmutafikata ahwa
And the overthrown cities did He overthrow,
والمؤتفكة أهوى
وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ
Faghashshaha ma ghashsha
So there covered them that which covered.
فغشاها ما غشى
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara
Which of your Lord's benefits will you then dispute about?
فبأي آلاء ربك تتمارى
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola
This is a warner of the warners of old.
هذا نذير من النذر الأولى
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

The near event draws nigh.
أزفت الآزفة
أَزِفَتِ ٱلْءَازِفَةُ
Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun
There shall be none besides Allah to remove it.
ليس لها من دون الله كاشفة
لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona
Do you then wonder at this announcement?
أفمن هذا الحديث تعجبون
أَفَمِنْ هَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ
Watadhakoona wala tabkoona
And will you laugh and not weep?
وتضحكون ولا تبكون
وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ
Waantum samidoona
While you are indulging in varieties.
وأنتم سامدون
وَأَنتُمْ سَٰمِدُونَ

So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him).
فاسجدوا لله واعبدوا ۩
فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟
