An-Najm

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ ﴿1﴾

Wannajmi izaa hawaa

53:1By the star when it sets:

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ ﴿2﴾

Maa dalla saahibukum wa maa ghawaa

53:2your companion has neither gone astray, nor amiss.

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ ﴿3﴾

Wa maa yyantiqu 'anilhawaaa

53:3Nor does he speak out of [his own] desire:

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ ﴿4﴾

In huwa illaa Wahyuny yoohaa

53:4it is just a revelation that is revealed [to him],

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ ﴿5﴾

'Allamahoo shadeedul quwaa

53:5taught him by one of great powers,

ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ ﴿6﴾

Zoo mirratin fastawaa

53:6possessed of sound judgement. He settled,

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿7﴾

Wa huwa bil ufuqil a'laa

53:7while he was on the highest horizon.

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ ﴿8﴾

Summa danaa fatadalla

53:8Then he drew nearer and nearer

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ ﴿9﴾

Fakaana qaaba qawsaini aw adnaa

53:9until he was within two bows’ length or even nearer,

فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ ﴿10﴾

Fa awhaaa ilaa 'abdihee maaa awhaa

53:10whereat He revealed to His servant whatever He revealed.

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ ﴿11﴾

Maa kazabal fu'aadu maa ra aa

53:11The heart did not deny what it saw.

أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ ﴿12﴾

Afatumaaroonahoo 'alaa maayaraa

53:12Will you then dispute with him about what he saw?!

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ ﴿13﴾

Wa laqad ra aahu nazlatan ukhraa

53:13Certainly he saw it yet another time,

عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ ﴿14﴾

'Inda sidratil muntaha

53:14by the Lote Tree of the Ultimate Boundary,

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ ﴿15﴾

'Indahaa jannatul maawaa

53:15near which is the Garden of the Abode,

إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿16﴾

Iz yaghshas sidrata maa yaghshaa

53:16when there covered the Lote Tree what covered it.

مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ﴿17﴾

Maa zaaghal basaru wa maa taghaa

53:17His gaze did not swerve, nor did it overstep the bounds.

لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ ﴿18﴾

Laqad ra aa min aayaati Rabbihil kubraaa

53:18Certainly he saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord.

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ ﴿19﴾

Afara'aytumul laata wal 'uzzaa

53:19Have you considered Lat and ‘Uzza?

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ ﴿20﴾

Wa manaatas saalisatal ukhraa

53:20and Manat, the third one?

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ ﴿21﴾

A-lakumuz zakaru wa lahul unsaa

53:21Are you to have males and He females?

تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ ﴿22﴾

Tilka izan qismatun deezaa

53:22That, then, will be an unfair division!

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ﴿23﴾

In hiya illaaa asmaaa'un sammaitumoohaaa antum wa aabaaa'ukum maaa anzalal laahu bihaa min sultaan; inyyattabi'oona illaz zanna wa maa tahwal anfusu wa laqad jaaa'ahum mir Rabbihimul hudaa

53:23These are but names, which you have coined—you and your fathers—for which Allah has not sent down any authority. They follow nothing but conjectures and the desires of the [lower] soul, while there has already come to them the guidance from their Lord.

أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ ﴿24﴾

Am lil insaani maa taman naa

53:24Shall man have whatever he yearns for?

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿25﴾

Falillaahil aakhiratu wal oolaa

53:25Yet to Allah belong this world and the Hereafter.

۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ ﴿26﴾

Wa kam mim malakin fissamaawaati laa tughnee shafaa'atuhum shai'an illaa mim ba'di anyyaazanal laahu limany yashaaa'u wa yardaa

53:26How many an angel there is in the heavens whose intercession is of not any avail, except after Allah permits whomever He wishes and approves of!

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ ﴿27﴾

innal lazeena laa yu'minoona bil aakhirati la yusammoonal malaaa'ikata tasmiyatal unsaa

53:27Indeed those who do not believe in the Hereafter give female names to the angels.

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًۭٔا ﴿28﴾

Wa maa lahum bihee min 'ilmin iny yattabi'oona illaz zanna wa innaz zanna laa yughnee minal haqqi shai'aa

53:28They do not have any knowledge of that. They follow nothing but conjectures, and conjecture is no substitute for the truth.

فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿29﴾

Fa a'rid 'am man tawallaa 'an zikrinaa wa lam yurid illal hayaatad dunyaa

53:29So avoid those who turn away from Our remembrance and desire nothing but the life of the world.

ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ ﴿30﴾

Zalika mablaghuhum minal 'ilm; inna rabbaka huwa a'lamu biman dalla 'an sabee lihee wa huwa a'lamu bimanih tadaa

53:30That is the ultimate reach of their knowledge. Indeed your Lord knows best those who stray from His way, and He knows best those who are [rightly] guided.

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى ﴿31﴾

Wa lillaahi maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi liyajziyal lazeena asaaa'oo bimaa 'amiloo wa yajziyal lazeena ahsanoo bilhusnaa

53:31To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, that He may requite those who do evil for what they have done, and reward those who do good with the best [of rewards].

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌۭ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ ﴿32﴾

Allazeena yajtaniboona kabaaa'iral ismi walfawaa hisha illal lamam; inna rabbaka waasi'ul maghfirah; huwa a'lamu bikum iz ansha akum minal ardi wa iz antum ajinnatun fee butooni umma haatikum falaa tuzakkooo anfusakum huwa a'lamu bimanit taqaa

53:32Those who avoid major sins and indecencies, apart from [minor and occasional] lapses. Indeed your Lord is expansive in [His] forgiveness. He knows you best since [the time] He produced you from the earth and since you were foetuses in the bellies of your mothers. So do not flaunt your piety: He knows best those who are Godwary.

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ ﴿33﴾

Afara'ayatal lazee tawallaa

53:33Did you see him who turned away,

وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًۭا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ ﴿34﴾

Wa a'taa qaleelanw wa akdaa

53:34gave a little and held off?

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ ﴿35﴾

A'indahoo 'ilmul ghaibi fahuwa yaraa

53:35Does he have the knowledge of the Unseen so that he sees?

أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ ﴿36﴾

Am lam yunabbaa bimaa fee suhuhfi Moosa

53:36Has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Moses,

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ ﴿37﴾

Wa Ibraaheemal lazee waffaaa

53:37and of Abraham, who fulfilled [his summons]:

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌۭ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ﴿38﴾

Allaa taziru waaziratunw wizra ukhraa

53:38that no bearer shall bear another’s burden,

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿39﴾

Wa al laisa lil insaani illaa maa sa'aa

53:39that nothing belongs to man except what he strives for,

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ ﴿40﴾

Wa anna sa'yahoo sawfa yuraa

53:40and that he will soon be shown his endeavour,

ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ ﴿41﴾

Summa yujzaahul jazaaa 'al awfaa

53:41then he will be rewarded for it with the fullest reward;

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ ﴿42﴾

Wa anna ilaa rabbikal muntahaa

53:42that the terminus is toward your Lord,

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ ﴿43﴾

Wa annahoo huwa adhaka wa abkaa

53:43that it is He who makes [men] laugh, and weep,

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا ﴿44﴾

Wa annahoo huwa amaata wa ahyaa

53:44that it is He who brings death and gives life,

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ ﴿45﴾

Wa annahoo khalaqaz zawjainiz zakara wal unsaa

53:45that it is He who created the mates, the male and the female,

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ ﴿46﴾

Min nutfatin izaa tumnaa

53:46from a drop of [seminal] fluid when emitted;

وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ ﴿47﴾

Wa anna 'alaihin nash atal ukhraa

53:47that with Him lies the second genesis,

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ ﴿48﴾

Wa annahoo huwa aghnaa wa aqnaa

53:50that it is He who destroyed the former ‘Ad,

وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ ﴿51﴾

Wa samooda famaaa abqaa

53:51and Thamud, sparing none [of them];

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ ﴿52﴾

Wa qawma Noohim min qablu innahum kaanoo hum azlama wa atghaa

53:52and the people of Noah before that; indeed they were more unjust and rebellious;

وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ ﴿53﴾

Wal mu'tafikata ahwaa

53:53and He overthrew the town that was overturned,

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ ﴿54﴾

Faghashshaahaa maa ghashshaa

53:54covering it with what covered it.

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ ﴿55﴾

Fabi ayyi aalaaa'i Rabbika tatamaaraa

Wa tadhakoona wa laa tabkoon

53:60and laugh and not weep,

وَأَنتُمْ سَٰمِدُونَ ﴿61﴾
