53. An-Najm سُورَةُ النَّجۡمِ

Saheeh InternationalBy the star when it descends

Saheeh InternationalYour companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred

Saheeh InternationalNor does he speak from [his own] inclination

Saheeh InternationalIt is not but a revelation revealed

Saheeh InternationalTaught to him by one intense in strength

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

Saheeh InternationalWhile he was in the higher [part of the] horizon

Saheeh InternationalThen he approached and descended

Saheeh InternationalAnd was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer

Saheeh InternationalAnd he revealed to His Servant what he revealed

Saheeh InternationalThe heart did not lie [about] what it saw

Saheeh InternationalSo will you dispute with him over what he saw

Saheeh InternationalAnd he certainly saw him in another descent

Saheeh InternationalAt the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary

Saheeh InternationalNear it is the Garden of Refuge

Saheeh InternationalWhen there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]

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

Saheeh InternationalHe certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord

Saheeh InternationalSo have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza

Saheeh InternationalAnd Manat, the third - the other one

Saheeh InternationalIs the male for you and for Him the female

Saheeh InternationalThat, then, is an unjust division

Saheeh InternationalThey 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

Saheeh InternationalOr is there for man whatever he wishes

Saheeh InternationalRather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]

Saheeh InternationalAnd 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

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

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

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

Saheeh InternationalThat 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

Saheeh InternationalAnd 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]

Saheeh InternationalThose 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

Saheeh InternationalHave you seen the one who turned away

Saheeh InternationalAnd gave a little and [then] refrained

Saheeh InternationalDoes he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees

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

Saheeh InternationalAnd [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations]

Saheeh InternationalThat no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

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

Saheeh InternationalAnd that his effort is going to be seen

Saheeh InternationalThen he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense

Saheeh InternationalAnd that to your Lord is the finality

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

Saheeh InternationalAnd that it is He who causes death and gives life

Saheeh InternationalAnd that He creates the two mates - the male and female

Saheeh InternationalFrom a sperm-drop when it is emitted

Saheeh InternationalAnd that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

Saheeh InternationalAnd that it is He who enriches and suffices

Saheeh InternationalAnd that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

Saheeh InternationalAnd that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad

Saheeh InternationalAnd Thamud - and He did not spare [them]

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

Saheeh InternationalAnd the overturned towns He hurled down

Saheeh InternationalAnd covered them by that which He covered

Saheeh InternationalThen which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt

Saheeh InternationalThis [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners

Saheeh InternationalThe Approaching Day has approached

Saheeh InternationalOf it, [from those] besides Allah, there is no remover

Saheeh InternationalThen at this statement do you wonder

Saheeh InternationalAnd you laugh and do not weep

Saheeh InternationalWhile you are proudly sporting

Saheeh InternationalSo prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]
