# Translation Ayah
1 By the star as it goes down. وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى
2 Your friend has not gone astray, nor has he erred. مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَى
3 Nor does he speak out of desire. وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى
4 It is but a revelation revealed. إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى
5 Taught to him by the Extremely Powerful. عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَى
6 The one of vigor. He settled. ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَاسْتَوَى
7 While he was at the highest horizon. وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَى
8 Then he came near, and hovered around. ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى
9 He was within two bows’ length, or closer. فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى
10 Then He revealed to His servant what He revealed. فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى
11 The heart did not lie about what it saw. مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى
12 Will you dispute with him concerning what he saw? أَفَتُمَارُونَهُ عَلَى مَا يَرَى
13 He saw him on another descent. وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى
14 At the Lotus Tree of the Extremity. عِندَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى
15 Near which is the Garden of Repose. عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى
16 As there covered the Lotus Tree what covered it. إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى
17 The sight did not waver, nor did it exceed. مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى
18 He saw some of the Great Signs of his Lord. لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى
19 Have you considered al-Lat and al-Uzza? أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى
20 And Manat, the third one, the other? وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى
21 Are you to have the males, and He the females? أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنثَى
22 What a bizarre distribution. تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَى
23 These are nothing but names, which you have devised, you and your ancestors, for which God sent down no authority. They follow nothing but assumptions, and what the ego desires, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord. إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا أَسْمَاء سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْأَنفُسُ وَلَقَدْ جَاءهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدَى
24 Or is the human being to have whatever he desires? أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّى
25 To God belong the Last and the First. فَلِلَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ وَالْأُولَى
26 How many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession avails nothing, except after God gives permission to whomever He wills, and approves? وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تُغْنِي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاء وَيَرْضَى
27 Those who do not believe in the Hereafter give the angels the names of females. إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنثَى
28 They have no knowledge of that. They only follow assumptions, and assumptions are no substitute for the truth. وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا
29 So avoid him who has turned away from Our remembrance, and desires nothing but the present life. فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّى عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
30 That is the extent of their knowledge. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best who has accepted guidance. ذَلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَى
31 To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. He will repay those who do evil according to their deeds, and recompense those who do good with the best. وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاؤُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى
32 Those who avoid gross sins and indecencies—except for minor lapses—your Lord is of Vast Forgiveness. He knows you well, ever since He created you from the earth, and ever since you were embryos in your mothers’ wombs. So do not acclaim your own virtue; He is fully aware of the righteous. 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 اتَّقَى
33 Have you considered him who turned away? أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى
34 And gave a little, and held back? وَأَعْطَى قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَى
35 Does he possess knowledge of the unseen, and can therefore foresee? أَعِندَهُ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَى
36 Or was he not informed of what is in the Scrolls of Moses? أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَى
37 And of Abraham, who fulfilled? وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى
38 That no soul bears the burdens of another soul. أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى
39 And that the human being attains only what he strives for. وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى
40 And that his efforts will be witnessed. وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَى
41 Then he will be rewarded for it the fullest reward. ثُمَّ يُجْزَاهُ الْجَزَاء الْأَوْفَى
42 And that to your Lord is the finality. وَأَنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الْمُنتَهَى
43 And that it is He who causes laughter and weeping. وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى
44 And that it is He who gives death and life. وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا
45 And that it is He who created the two kinds—the male and the female. وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
46 From a sperm drop, when emitted. مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَى
47 And that upon Him is the next existence. وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُخْرَى
48 And that it is He who enriches and impoverishes. وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَغْنَى وَأَقْنَى
49 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius. وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعْرَى
50 And that it is He who destroyed the first Aad. وَأَنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا الْأُولَى
51 And Thamood, sparing no one. وَثَمُودَ فَمَا أَبْقَى
52 And the people of Noah before that; for they were most unjust and most oppressive. وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَى
53 And He toppled the ruined cities. وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَى
54 And covered them with whatever covered them. فَغَشَّاهَا مَا غَشَّى
55 So which of your Lord's marvels can you deny? فَبِأَيِّ آلَاء رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَى
56 This is a warning, just like the first warnings. هَذَا نَذِيرٌ مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الْأُولَى
57 The inevitable is imminent. أَزِفَتْ الْآزِفَةُ
58 None besides God can unveil it. لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
59 Do you marvel at this discourse? أَفَمِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ
60 And laugh, and do not weep? وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ
61 Lost in your frivolity? وَأَنتُمْ سَامِدُونَ
62 So bow down to God, and worship! فَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا
