Surah 53. An-Najm
In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful
Surah 53. An-Najm
In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful
1. By the Star when it sets,
2. Your comrade errs not, nor is deceived;
3. Nor does he speak of desire.
4. It is nothing save an inspiration that is inspired,
5. Which one of mighty powers has taught him,
6. One vigorous; and he grew clear to view
7. When he was on the uppermost horizon.
8. Then be drew near and came down
9. Till he was two bows length or even nearer,
10. And He sent down to His slave that which He sent down.
11. The heart lied not what it saw.
12. Will you then dispute with him concerning what he sees?
13. And surely he saw him, yet another time
14. By the lote tree of the utmost boundary,
15. Nigh to which is the Garden of Abode.
16. When that which shrouds did enshroud the lote tree,
17. The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.
18. Surely he saw one of the greater Revelations of his Lord.
19. Have you thought upon Al Lat and Al Uzza
20. And Manat, the third, the other?
21. Are yours the males and His the females?
22. That indeed were an unfair division!
23. They are but names which you have named, you and your fathers, for which ALLAH has sent down no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which themselves desire. And now the Guidance from their Lord has come to them.
24. Or shall man have what he covets?
25. But to ALLAH belongs the after, and the former.
