ﭑﭒﭓ ﰀ​

An-Najm


By the stars when they fade away!
ﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﰁ​

Your fellow man1 is neither misguided nor astray.
ﭛﭜﭝﭞ ﰂ​

Nor does he speak of his own whims.
ﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤ ﰃ​

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

He has been taught by one ˹angel˺ of mighty power1
ﭪﭫﭬ ﰅ​

and great perfection, who once rose to ˹his˺ true form1
ﭮﭯﭰ ﰆ​

while on the highest point above the horizon,
ﭲﭳﭴ ﰇ​

then he approached ˹the Prophet˺, coming so close
ﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺ ﰈ​

that he was only two arms-lengths away or even less.1
ﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀ ﰉ​

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

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

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

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

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

near which is the Garden of ˹Eternal˺ Residence—
ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﰏ​

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

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

He certainly saw some of his Lord’s greatest signs.1 
ﮭﮮﮯ ﰒ​

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

and the third one, Manât, as well?
ﯖﯗﯘﯙ ﰔ​

Do you ˹prefer to˺ have sons while ˹you attribute˺ to Him daughters?1
ﯛﯜﯝﯞ ﰕ​

Then this is ˹truly˺ a biased distribution!
ﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺ ﰖ​

These ˹idols˺ are mere names that you and your forefathers have made up1—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.
ﯼﯽﯾﯿ ﰗ​

Or should every person ˹simply˺ have whatever ˹intercessors˺ they desire?1
ﰁﰂﰃ ﰘ​

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

˹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.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙ ﰚ​

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

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.
ﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸ ﰜ​

So turn away ˹O Prophet˺ from whoever has shunned Our Reminder,1 only seeking the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world.
ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊ ﰝ​

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

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 reward1—
ﮝﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﰟ​

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 earth1 and while you were ˹still˺ fetuses in the wombs of your mothers.2 So do not ˹falsely˺ elevate yourselves. He knows best who is ˹truly˺ righteous.
ﯢﯣﯤ ﰠ​

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

then they will be fully rewarded,
ﰓﰔﰕﰖ ﰩ​

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

Moreover, He is the One Who brings about joy and sadness.1
ﰝﰞﰟﰠ ﰫ​

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

And He created the pairs—males and females—
ﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﰭ​

from a sperm-drop when it is emitted.
ﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﰮ​

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

And He is the One Who enriches and impoverishes.
ﭦﭧﭨﭩ ﰰ​

And He alone is the Lord of Sirius.1
ﭫﭬﭭﭮ ﰱ​

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

and ˹then˺ Thamûd,1 sparing no one.
ﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺﭻﭼﭽ ﰳ​

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

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

How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺!1
ﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰶ​

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

This ˹Prophet˺ is a warner like earlier ones.
ﮑﮒ ﰸ​

The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near.
ﮔﮕﮖﮗﮘﮙ ﰹ​

None but Allah can disclose it.
ﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﰺ​

Do you find this revelation astonishing,
ﮠﮡﮢ ﰻ​

laughing ˹at it˺ and not weeping ˹in awe˺,
ﮤﮥ ﰼ​

while persisting in heedlessness?
ﮧﮨﮩﮪ ﰽ​

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