Al Najm

1 Waalnnajmi itha hawa

1 By the star when it descends,

2 Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa

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

3 Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

3 Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

4 In huwa illa wahyun yooha

4 It is not but a revelation revealed,

5 AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa

5 Taught to him by one intense in strength -

6 Thoo mirratin faistawa

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

7 Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla

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

8 Thumma dana fatadalla

8 Then he approached and descended

9 Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

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

10 Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha

10 And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.

11 Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa

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

12 Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara

12 So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

13 Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

13 And he certainly saw him in another descent

14 AAinda sidrati almuntaha

14 At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

15 AAindaha jannatu almawa

15 Near it is the Garden of Refuge -

16 Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha

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

17 Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

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

18 Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

18 He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

19 Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza

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

20 Wamanata alththalithata alokhra

20 And Manat, the third - the other one?

21 Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha

21 Is the male for you and for Him the female?

22 Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

22 That, then, is an unjust division.

23 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

23 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.

24 Am lilinsani ma tamanna

24 Or is there for man whatever he wishes?

25 Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola

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

26 Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda

26 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.

27 Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha

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

28 Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan

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

29 FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya

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

30 Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada

30 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.

31 Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna

31 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] -

32 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

32 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.

33 Afaraayta allathee tawalla

33 Have you seen the one who turned away

34 WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

34 And gave a little and [then] refrained?

35 aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

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

36 Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

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

37 Waibraheema allathee waffa

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

38 Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

38 That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

39 Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

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

40 Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

40 And that his effort is going to be seen -

41 Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

41 Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

42 Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

42 And that to your Lord is the finality

43 Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

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

44 Waannahu huwa amata waahya

44 And that it is He who causes death and gives life

45 Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

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

46 Min nutfatin itha tumna

46 From a sperm - drop when it is emitted

47 Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra

47 And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

48 Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna

48 And that it is He who enriches and suffices

49 Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra

49 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

50 Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola

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

51 Wathamooda fama abqa

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

52 Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha

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

53 Waalmutafikata ahwa

53 And the overturned towns He hurled down

54 Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

54 And covered them by that which He covered.

55 Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara

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

56 Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola

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

57 Azifati alazifatu

57 The Approaching Day has approached.

58 Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun

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

59 Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona

59 Then at this statement do you wonder?

60 Watadhakoona wala tabkoona

60 And you laugh and do not weep

61 Waantum samidoona

61 While you are proudly sporting?

62 Faosjudoo lillahi waoAAbudoo

62 So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him].
