Surah An-Najm

وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ ﴿١﴾

Waalnnajmi itha hawa

By the star when it descends

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa

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

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

Wama yantiqu ʿani alhawa

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيٞ يُوحَىٰ ﴿٤﴾

In huwa illa wahyun yooha

It is not but a revelation revealed

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

ʿallamahu shadeedu alquwa

Taught to him by one intense in strength

ذُو مِرَّةٖ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

Thoo mirratin faistawa

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

وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

Wahuwa bialofuqi alaʿla

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

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ ﴿٨﴾

Thumma dana fatadalla

Then he approached and descended

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer

فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

Faawha ila ʿabdihi ma awha

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa

The heart did not lie [about] what it saw

أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Afatumaroonahu ʿala ma yara

So will you dispute with him over what he saw

وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

And he certainly saw him in another descent

عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

ʿinda sidrati almuntaha

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ ﴿١٥﴾

ʿindaha jannatu almawa

Near it is the Garden of Refuge

إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ ﴿١٦﴾

Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha

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

مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾

Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

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

لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ ﴿١٨﴾

Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلۡعُزَّىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

Afaraaytumu allata waalʿuzza

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

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ ﴿٢٠﴾

Wamanata alththalithata alokhra

And Manat, the third - the other one

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha

Is the male for you and for Him the female

تِلۡكَ إِذٗا قِسۡمَةٞ ضِيزَىٰٓ ﴿٢٢﴾

Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

That, then, is an unjust division

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءٞ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلۡطَٰنٍۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ﴿٢٣﴾

In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiʿoona 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

أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ ﴿٢٤﴾

Am lilinsani ma tamanna

Or is there for man whatever he wishes

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ﴿٢٥﴾

Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola

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

۞وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِي شَفَٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن يَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرۡضَىٰٓ ﴿٢٦﴾

Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaʿatuhum shayan illa min baʿdi 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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ﴿٢٧﴾

Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha

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

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـٔٗا ﴿٢٨﴾

Wama lahum bihi min ʿilmin in yattabiʿoona 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

فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ يُرِدۡ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ﴿٢٩﴾

Faaʿrid ʿan man tawalla ʿan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya

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

ذَٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ ﴿٣٠﴾

Thalika mablaghuhum mina alʿilmi inna rabbaka huwa aʿlamu biman dalla ʿan sabeelihi wahuwa aʿlamu 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

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى ﴿٣١﴾

Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima ʿamiloo 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]

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةٞ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ ﴿٣٢﴾

Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiʿu almaghfirati huwa aʿlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aʿlamu 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

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٣٣﴾

Afaraayta allathee tawalla

Have you seen the one who turned away

وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ ﴿٣٤﴾

Waaʿta qaleelan waakda

And gave a little and [then] refrained

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ ﴿٣٥﴾

aʿindahu ʿilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees

أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾

Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

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

وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ ﴿٣٧﴾

Waibraheema allathee waffa

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

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ ﴿٣٨﴾

Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿٣٩﴾

Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saʿa

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

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾

Waanna saʿyahu sawfa yura

And that his effort is going to be seen

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ ﴿٤١﴾

Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ ﴿٤٢﴾

Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

And that to your Lord is the finality

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ ﴿٤٣﴾

Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَا ﴿٤٤﴾

Waannahu huwa amata waahya

And that it is He who causes death and gives life

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ﴿٤٥﴾

Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

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

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ ﴿٤٦﴾

Min nutfatin itha tumna

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ ﴿٤٧﴾

Waanna ʿalayhi alnnashata alokhra

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ ﴿٤٨﴾

Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ ﴿٤٩﴾

Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiʿra

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ﴿٥٠﴾

Waannahu ahlaka ʿadan aloola

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

وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ ﴿٥١﴾

Wathamooda fama abqa

And Thamud - and He did not spare [them]

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ ﴿٥٢﴾

Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha

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

وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ ﴿٥٣﴾

Waalmutafikata ahwa

And the overturned towns He hurled down

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ ﴿٥٤﴾

Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

And covered them by that which He covered

فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ ﴿٥٥﴾

Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt

هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ ﴿٥٦﴾

Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola
