Sorah An-Najm ( The Star ) - Verses Number 62
وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ ( 1 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 1
By the Star when it goes down,-
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ ( 2 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 2
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ ( 3 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 3
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ ( 4 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 4
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَىٰ ( 5 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 5
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَاسْتَوَىٰ ( 6 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 6
Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);
وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 7 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 7
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ ( 8 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 8
Then he approached and came closer,
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ ( 9 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 9
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَىٰ ( 10 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 10
So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰ ( 11 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 11
The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
أَفَتُمَارُونَهُ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ ( 12 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 12
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ ( 13 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 13
For indeed he saw him at a second descent,
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنتَهَىٰ ( 14 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 14
Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَىٰ ( 15 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 15
Near it is the Garden of Abode.
إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 16 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 16
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)
مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ( 17 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 17
(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَىٰ ( 18 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 18
For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّىٰ ( 19 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 19
Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza,
وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَىٰ ( 20 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 20
And another, the third (goddess), Manat?
أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنثَىٰ ( 21 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 21
What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female?
تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىٰ ( 22 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 22
Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدَىٰ ( 23 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 23
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!
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ ( 24 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 24
Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after?
فَلِلَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 25 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 25
But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.
وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تُغْنِي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَرْضَىٰ ( 26 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 26
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.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنثَىٰ ( 27 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 27
Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا ( 28 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 28
But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.
فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ( 29 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 29
Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.
ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ ( 30 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 30
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.
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى ( 31 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 31
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.
الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوا أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقَىٰ ( 32 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 32
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.
أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ ( 33 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 33
Seest thou one who turns back,
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰ ( 34 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 34
Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)?
أَعِندَهُ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰ ( 35 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 35
What! Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see?
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ ( 36 ) An-Najm ( The Star ) - Ayaa 36
Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses-

Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete;
