By the stars when they fade away!

Verse 2

ﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﭚ

Your fellow man is neither misguided nor astray.

Verse 3

ﭛﭜﭝﭞ ﭟ

Nor does he speak of his own whims.

Verse 4

ﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤ ﭥ

It is only a revelation sent down ˹to him˺.

Verse 5

ﭦﭧﭨ ﭩ

He has been taught by one ˹angel˺ of mighty power

Verse 6

ﭪﭫﭬ ﭭ

and great perfection, who once rose to ˹his˺ true form

Verse 7

ﭮﭯﭰ ﭱ

while on the highest point above the horizon,

Verse 8

ﭲﭳﭴ ﭵ

then he approached ˹the Prophet˺, coming so close

Verse 9

ﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺ ﭻ

that he was only two arms-lengths away or even less.

Verse 10

ﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﮁ

Then Allah revealed to His servant what He revealed ˹through Gabriel˺.

Verse 11

ﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆ ﮇ

The ˹Prophet’s˺ heart did not doubt what he saw.

Verse 12

ﮈﮉﮊﮋ ﮌ

How can you ˹O pagans˺ then dispute with him regarding what he saw?

Verse 13

ﮍﮎﮏﮐ ﮑ

And he certainly saw that ˹angel descend˺ a second time

Verse 14

ﮒﮓﮔ ﮕ

at the Lote Tree of the most extreme limit ˹in the seventh heaven˺—

Verse 15

ﮖﮗﮘ ﮙ

near which is the Garden of ˹Eternal˺ Residence—

Verse 16

ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﮟ

while the Lote Tree was overwhelmed with ˹heavenly˺ splendours!

Verse 17

ﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤ ﮥ

The ˹Prophet’s˺ sight never wandered, nor did it overreach.

Verse 18

ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫ ﮬ

He certainly saw some of his Lord’s greatest signs.

Verse 19

ﮭﮮﮯ ﮰ

Now, have you considered ˹the idols of˺ Lât and ’Uzza,

Verse 20

ﮱﯓﯔ ﯕ

and the third one, Manât, as well?

Verse 21

ﯖﯗﯘﯙ ﯚ

Do you ˹prefer to˺ have sons while ˹you attribute˺ to Him daughters?

Verse 22

ﯛﯜﯝﯞ ﯟ

Then this is ˹truly˺ a biased distribution!

Verse 23

ﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺ ﯻ

These ˹idols˺ are mere names that you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions and whatever ˹their˺ souls desire, although ˹true˺ guidance has already come to them from their Lord.

Verse 24

ﯼﯽﯾﯿ ﰀ

Or should every person ˹simply˺ have whatever ˹intercessors˺ they desire?

Verse 25

ﰁﰂﰃ ﰄ

In fact, to Allah ˹alone˺ belongs this world and the next.

Verse 26

ﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉﰊﰋﰌﰍﰎﰏﰐﰑﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖﰗ ﰘ

˹Imagine˺ how many ˹noble˺ angels are in the heavens! ˹Even˺ their intercession would be of no benefit whatsoever, until Allah gives permission to whoever He wills and ˹only for the people He˺ approves.

Verse 27

ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﭚ

Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter label angels as female,

Verse 28

ﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬ ﭭ

although they have no knowledge ˹in support˺ of this. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions. And surely assumptions can in no way replace the truth.

Verse 29

ﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﭹ

So turn away ˹O Prophet˺ from whoever has shunned Our Reminder, only seeking the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world.

Verse 30

ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊ ﮋ

This is the extent of their knowledge. Surely your Lord knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided.

Verse 31

ﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙﮚﮛ ﮜ

To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth so that He may reward the evildoers according to what they did, and reward the good-doers with the finest reward—

Verse 32

ﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﯡ

those who avoid major sins and shameful deeds, despite ˹stumbling on˺ minor sins. Surely your Lord is infinite in forgiveness. He knew well what would become of you as He created you from the earth and while you were ˹still˺ fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not ˹falsely˺ elevate yourselves. He knows best who is ˹truly˺ righteous.

Verse 33

ﯢﯣﯤ ﯥ

Have you seen the one who turned away ˹from Islam,˺

Verse 34

ﯦﯧﯨ ﯩ

and ˹initially˺ paid a little ˹for his salvation˺, and then stopped?

Verse 35

ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﯯ

Does he have the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees ˹the Hereafter˺?

Verse 36

ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶ ﯷ

Or has he not been informed of what is in the Scripture of Moses,

Verse 37

ﯸﯹﯺ ﯻ

and ˹that of˺ Abraham, who ˹perfectly˺ fulfilled ˹his covenant˺?

Verse 38

ﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀ ﰁ

˹They state˺ that no soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another,

Verse 39

ﰂﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇ ﰈ

and that each person will only have what they endeavoured towards,

Verse 40

ﰉﰊﰋﰌ ﰍ

and that ˹the outcome of˺ their endeavours will be seen ˹in their record˺,

Verse 41

ﰎﰏﰐﰑ ﰒ

then they will be fully rewarded,

Verse 42

ﰓﰔﰕﰖ ﰗ

and that to your Lord ˹alone˺ is the ultimate return ˹of all things˺.

Verse 43

ﰘﰙﰚﰛ ﰜ

Moreover, He is the One Who brings about joy and sadness.

Verse 44

ﰝﰞﰟﰠ ﰡ

And He is the One Who gives life and causes death.

Verse 45

ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕ ﭖ

And He created the pairs—males and females—

Verse 46

ﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﭛ

from a sperm-drop when it is emitted.

Verse 47

ﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﭠ

And it is upon Him to bring about re-creation.

Verse 48

ﭡﭢﭣﭤ ﭥ

And He is the One Who enriches and impoverishes.

Verse 49

ﭦﭧﭨﭩ ﭪ

And He alone is the Lord of Sirius.

Verse 50

ﭫﭬﭭﭮ ﭯ

And He destroyed the first ˹people of˺ ’Ȃd,

Verse 51

ﭰﭱﭲ ﭳ

and ˹then˺ Thamûd, sparing no one.

Verse 52

ﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽ ﭾ

And before ˹that He destroyed˺ the people of Noah, who were truly far worse in wrongdoing and transgression.

Verse 53

ﭿﮀ ﮁ

And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down.

Verse 54

ﮂﮃﮄ ﮅ

How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺!

Verse 55

ﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﮊ

Now, which of your Lord’s favours will you dispute?

Verse 56

ﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏ ﮐ

This ˹Prophet˺ is a warner like earlier ones.

Verse 57

ﮑﮒ ﮓ

The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near.

Verse 58

ﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙ ﮚ

None but Allah can disclose it.

Verse 59

ﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﮟ

Do you find this revelation astonishing,

Verse 60

ﮠﮡﮢ ﮣ

laughing ˹at it˺ and not weeping ˹in awe˺,

Verse 61

ﮤﮥ ﮦ

while persisting in heedlessness?

Verse 62

ﮧﮨﮩﮪ ﮫ

Instead, prostrate to Allah and worship ˹Him alone˺!
