An-Najm

وَالنَّجْمِ اِذَا هَوٰی ۟

Wannajmi izaa hawaa

By the Star when it goes down,-

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوٰی ۟

Maa dalla saahibukum wa maa ghawaa

Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.

وَمَا یَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوٰی ۟

Wa maa yyantiqu 'anilhawaaa

Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا وَحْیٌ یُّوْحٰی ۟

In huwa illaa Wahyuny yoohaa

It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:

عَلَّمَهٗ شَدِیْدُ الْقُوٰی ۟

Allamahoo shadeedul quwaa

He was taught by one Mighty in Power,

ذُوْ مِرَّةٍ فَاسْتَوٰی ۟

Zoo mirratin fastawaa

Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);

وَهُوَ بِالْاُفُقِ الْاَعْلٰی ۟

Wa huwa bil ufuqil a'laa

While he was in the highest part of the horizon:

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلّٰی ۟

Summa danaa fatadalla

Then he approached and came closer,

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَیْنِ اَوْ اَدْنٰی ۟

Fakaana qaaba qawsaini aw adnaa

And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;

فَاَوْحٰۤی اِلٰی عَبْدِهٖ مَاۤ اَوْحٰی ۟

Fa awhaaa ilaa 'abdihee maaa awhaa

So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.

مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَاٰی ۟

Maa kazabal fu'aadu maa ra aa

The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.

اَفَتُمٰرُوْنَهٗ عَلٰی مَا یَرٰی ۟

Afatumaaroonahoo 'alaa maayaraa

Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?

وَلَقَدْ رَاٰهُ نَزْلَةً اُخْرٰی ۟

Wa laqad ra aahu nazlatan ukhraa

For indeed he saw him at a second descent,

عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهٰی ۟

Inda sidratil muntaha

Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:

عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَاْوٰی ۟

Indahaa jannatul maawaa

Near it is the Garden of Abode.

اِذْ یَغْشَی السِّدْرَةَ مَا یَغْشٰی ۟

Iz yaghshas sidrata maa yaghshaa

Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)

مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغٰی ۟

Maa zaaghal basaru wa maa taghaa

(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!

لَقَدْ رَاٰی مِنْ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرٰی ۟

Laqad ra aa min aayaati Rabbihil kubraaa

For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!

اَفَرَءَیْتُمُ اللّٰتَ وَالْعُزّٰی ۟

Afara'aytumul laata wal 'uzzaa

Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza,

وَمَنٰوةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْاُخْرٰی ۟

Wa manaatas saalisatal ukhraa

And another, the third (goddess), Manat?

اَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْاُݥ ۟

A-lakumuz zakaru wa lahul unsaa

What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female?

تِلْكَ اِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِیْزٰی ۟

Tilka izan qismatun deezaa

Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!

اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّاۤ اَسْمَآءٌ سَمَّیْتُمُوْهَاۤ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمْ مَّاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍ اِنْ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَی الْاَنْفُسُ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدٰی ۟

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

These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!

اَمْ لِلْاِنْسَانِ مَا تَمَنّٰی 

Am lil insaani maa taman naa

Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after?

فَلِلّٰهِ الْاٰخِرَةُ وَالْاُوْلٰی 

Falillaahil aakhiratu wal oolaa

But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.

وَكَمْ مِّنْ مَّلَكٍ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ لَا تُغْنِیْ شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَیْـًٔا اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ اَنْ یَّاْذَنَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیَرْضٰی ۟

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

How many-so-ever be the angels in the heavens, their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ لَیُسَمُّوْنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ تَسْمِیَةَ الْاُݥ ۟

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

Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.

وَمَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ اِنْ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَاِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا یُغْنِیْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَیْـًٔا ۟

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

But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.

فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْ مَّنْ تَوَلّٰی عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ یُرِدْ اِلَّا الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا ۟

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

Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.

ذٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدٰی ۟

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

That is as far as knowledge will reach them. Verily thy Lord knoweth best those who stray from His Path, and He knoweth best those who receive guidance.

وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ لِیَجْزِیَ الَّذِیْنَ اَسَآءُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْا وَیَجْزِیَ الَّذِیْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا بِالْحُسْنٰی ۟

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

Yea, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: so that He rewards those who do evil, according to their deeds, and He rewards those who do good, with what is best.

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَجْتَنِبُوْنَ كَبٰٓىِٕرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ اِلَّا اللَّمَمَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِذْ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاِذْ اَنْتُمْ اَجِنَّةٌ فِیْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ فَلَا تُزَكُّوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقٰی 

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

Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers' wombs. Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against evil.
