وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
It is not but a revelation revealed,
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ
AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
Taught to him by one intense in strength -

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
Thoo mirratin faistawa
One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَاسْتَوَىٰ
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla
While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.
وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha
And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.
فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَىٰ
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa
The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.
مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰ
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
So will you dispute with him over what he saw?
أَفَتُمَارُونَهُ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
And he certainly saw him in another descent
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
AAinda sidrati almuntaha
At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنتَهَىٰ
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
AAindaha jannatu almawa
Near it is the Garden of Refuge -
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَىٰ
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].
إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].
مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَىٰ
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza
So have you considered al - Lat and al - 'Uzza?

Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
Is the male for you and for Him the female?
أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنثَىٰ
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
That, then, is an unjust division.
تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىٰ
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 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.
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدَىٰ
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 is there for man whatever he wishes?
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
Rather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَلِلَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ وَالْأُولَىٰ
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 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.
۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تُغْنِي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَرْضَىٰ
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
Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنثَىٰ
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 thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا
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
So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.
فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
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 sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.
ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ
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 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] -
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى
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 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.
الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوا أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقَىٰ
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

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ

وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّىٰ
وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ
Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

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