An-Najm


وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

By the star when it sets!


مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

Your companion has not strayed; he is not deluded;


وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ

he does not speak from his own desire.


إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡيٞ يُوحَىٰ

The Quran is nothing less than a revelation that is sent to him.


عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ

It was taught to him by [an angel] with mighty powers


ذُو مِرَّةٖ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ

and great strength, who stood


وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

on the highest horizon


ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

and then approached––coming down


فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ

until he was two bow-lengths away or even closer––


فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ

and revealed to God’s servant what He revealed.
