وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
By the star when it descends
Waalnnajmi itha hawa
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ
Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination
Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيٞ يُوحَىٰ
It is not but a revelation revealed
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ
Taught to him by one intense in strength
AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
ذُو مِرَّةٖ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ
One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form
Thoo mirratin faistawa
وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon
Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Then he approached and descended
Thumma dana fatadalla
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ
And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer
Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna
فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ
And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
The heart did not lie [about] what it saw
Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
So will you dispute with him over what he saw
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ
And he certainly saw him in another descent
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ
At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary
AAinda sidrati almuntaha
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ
Near it is the Garden of Refuge
AAindaha jannatu almawa
إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ
When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]
Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ
He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلۡعُزَّىٰ
So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza
Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ
And Manat, the third - the other one
Wamanata alththalithata alokhra
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ
Is the male for you and for Him the female
Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
تِلۡكَ إِذٗا قِسۡمَةٞ ضِيزَىٰٓ
That, then, is an unjust division
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
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
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
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
أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Or is there for man whatever he wishes
Am lilinsani ma tamanna
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ
Rather, to Allah belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
۞وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغۡنِي شَفَٰعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن يَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرۡضَىٰٓ
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
Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ
Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names
Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـٔٗا
And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all
Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan
فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ يُرِدۡ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا
So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life
FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya
ذَٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ
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
Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى
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]
Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna
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
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
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
أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ
Have you seen the one who turned away
Afaraayta allathee tawalla
وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ
And gave a little and [then] refrained
WaaAAta qaleelan waakda
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ
Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees
aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara
أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses
Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa
وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ
And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations]
Waibraheema allathee waffa
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ
That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another
Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives
Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ
And that his effort is going to be seen
Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura
ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ
Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense
Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa
وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ
And that to your Lord is the finality
Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ
And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep
Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَا
And that it is He who causes death and gives life
Waannahu huwa amata waahya
وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ
And that He creates the two mates - the male and female
Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ
From a sperm-drop when it is emitted
Min nutfatin itha tumna
وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ
And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation
Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ
And that it is He who enriches and suffices
Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna
وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ
And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius
Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad
Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola
وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ
And Thamud - and He did not spare [them]
Wathamooda fama abqa
وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ
And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing
Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha
وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ
And the overturned towns He hurled down
Waalmutafikata ahwa
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
And covered them by that which He covered
Faghashshaha ma ghashsha
فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt
Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ
This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners
Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola
أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ
The Approaching Day has approached
Azifati alazifatu
لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
Of it, [from those] besides Allah, there is no remover
Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun
أَفَمِنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ
Then at this statement do you wonder
Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona
وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ
And you laugh and do not weep
Watadhakoona wala tabkoona
وَأَنتُمۡ سَٰمِدُونَ
While you are proudly sporting
Waantum samidoona
فَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ۩
So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]
Faosjudoo lillahi waoAAbudoo
