Allah in the name of the most Affectionate the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

1. By the lovely shining star Muhammad, when he descended from the Ascension (Meraj).

1. وَ النَّجْمِ اِذَا هَوٰىۙ۝۱

2. Your companion neither went astray nor misled.

2. مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَ مَا غَوٰىۚ۝۲

3. And he speaks not of his own desire.

3. وَ مَا یَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوٰىؕ۝۳

4. That is not but the revelation that is revealed to him.

4. اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا وَحْیٌ یُّوْحٰىۙ۝۴

5. He was taught by one possessing mighty powers.

5. عَلَّمَهٗ شَدِیْدُ الْقُوٰىۙ۝۵

6. Possessor of strength. Then that splendid sight proceeded.

6. ذُوْ مِرَّةٍ١ؕ فَاسْتَوٰىۙ۝۶

7. And he was on the highest horizon.

7. وَ هُوَ بِالْاُفُقِ الْاَعْلٰىؕ۝۷

8. Then that splendid sight drew nearer, then he came close well.

8. ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلّٰىۙ۝۸

9. So there was a distance of two hands between the Splendid sight and the beloved (Prophet) but rather less than that.

9. فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَیْنِ اَوْ اَدْنٰىۚ۝۹

10. Now He revealed to His bondman whatever He revealed.

10. فَاَوْحٰۤى اِلٰى عَبْدِهٖ مَاۤ اَوْحٰىؕ۝۱۰

11. The heart lied not in what he saw.

11. مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَاٰى۝۱۱

12. Do you then dispute with him concerning what he has seen?

12. اَفَتُمٰرُوْنَهٗ عَلٰى مَا یَرٰى۝۱۲

13. And indeed, he saw that Splendid sight twice.

13. وَ لَقَدْ رَاٰهُ نَزْلَةً اُخْرٰىۙ۝۱۳

14. Near the farthest Lote-tree.

14. عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهٰى۝۱۴

15. Near which is the Garden of Eternity.

15. عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَاْوٰىؕ۝۱۵

16. When that was covering the Lote-Tree, which was covering.

16. اِذْ یَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا یَغْشٰىۙ۝۱۶

17. The eye deviated not, nor crossed the limit.

17. مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَ مَا طَغٰى۝۱۷

18. Certainly, he saw very big signs of his Lord.

18. لَقَدْ رَاٰى مِنْ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرٰى۝۱۸

19. Have you then seen Lat and Uzza?

19. اَفَرَءَیْتُمُ اللّٰتَ وَ الْعُزّٰىۙ۝۱۹

20. And the third Manat?

20. وَ مَنٰوةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْاُخْرٰى۝۲۰

21. What! For you the males and for Him the females.

21. اَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَ لَهُ الْاُنْثٰى۝۲۱

22. Then this is an unfair division.

22. تِلْكَ اِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِیْزٰى۝۲۲

23. That is not, but some names, you and your fathers have named; Allah has not sent down any authority for them. They follow mere conjecture and desire of souls, whereas there has already come to them guidance from their Lord.

23. اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّاۤ اَسْمَآءٌ سَمَّیْتُمُوْهَاۤ اَنْتُمْ وَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ مَّاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍ١ؕ اِنْ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَ مَا تَهْوَى الْاَنْفُسُ١ۚ وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدٰىؕ۝۲۳

24. Will the man have whatsoever he fancies?

24. اَمْ لِلْاِنْسَانِ مَا تَمَنّٰى٘ۖ۝۲۴

25. But Allah is the Owner of the Hereafter and the world all.

25. فَلِلّٰهِ الْاٰخِرَةُ وَ الْاُوْلٰى۠۝۲۵

26. And how many an angel is there in the heavens that their intercession availed nothing but when Allah permits to whomsoever He desires and pleases.

26. وَ كَمْ مِّنْ مَّلَكٍ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ لَا تُغْنِیْ شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَیْـًٔا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اَنْ یَّاْذَنَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَرْضٰى۝۲۶

27. Undoubtedly, those who do not believe in the Hereafter, name the angels with the names of females.

27. اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ لَیُسَمُّوْنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ تَسْمِیَةَ الْاُنْثٰى۝۲۷

28. And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow mere conjecture and verily the conjecture avails nothing against the conviction.

28. وَ مَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ١ؕ اِنْ یَّتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا الظَّنَّ١ۚ وَ اِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا یُغْنِیْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَیْـًٔاۚ۝۲۸

29. Therefore, turn your face from them who turned back from Our remembrance and who desired not but the life of the world.

29. فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْ مَّنْ تَوَلّٰى١ۙ۬ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَ لَمْ یُرِدْ اِلَّا الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَاؕ۝۲۹

30. That is the utmost limit of their knowledge. Undoubtedly, your Lord knows well who strayed from His way, and He knows well him who was guided.

30. ذٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ١ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ١ۙ وَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدٰى۝۳۰

31. And for Allah is whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth so that He may recompense the evil doers for their doings and reward with best those who do good.

31. وَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ١ۙ لِیَجْزِیَ الَّذِیْنَ اَسَآءُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْا وَ یَجْزِیَ الَّذِیْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا بِالْحُسْنٰىۚ۝۳۱

32. Those who save themselves from grave sins and indecencies but to this extent that they approached sins and kept themselves aloof. Verily, the forgiving of your Lord is vast. He knows you well, He created you from the earth and when you were embryos in the bellies of your mothers. Therefore, tell not your souls as pure. He knows well who are pious.

32. اَلَّذِیْنَ یَجْتَنِبُوْنَ كَبٰٓىِٕرَ الْاِثْمِ وَ الْفَوَاحِشَ اِلَّا اللَّمَمَ١ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ١ؕ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِذْ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَ اِذْ اَنْتُمْ اَجِنَّةٌ فِیْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ١ۚ فَلَا تُزَكُّوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ١ؕ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقٰى۠۝۳۲

33. Did you observe him who turned away?

33. اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ تَوَلّٰىۙ۝۳۳

34. And gave a little and then stopped?

34. وَ اَعْطٰى قَلِیْلًا وَّ اَكْدٰى۝۳۴

35. Has he the knowledge of the unseen, so he is seeing.

35. اَعِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ الْغَیْبِ فَهُوَ یَرٰى۝۳۵

36. Has he not been told of what is in the scriptures of Musa?

36. اَمْ لَمْ یُنَبَّاْ بِمَا فِیْ صُحُفِ مُوْسٰىۙ۝۳۶

37. And of Ibrahim who fulfilled the Commandments.

37. وَ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ الَّذِیْ وَفّٰۤىۙ۝۳۷

38. That no soul-bearing burden bears the burden of another.

38. اَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰىۙ۝۳۸

39. And that the man will not get but what he endeavors.

39. وَ اَنْ لَّیْسَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ اِلَّا مَا سَعٰىۙ۝۳۹

40. And that his endeavour shall soon be seen.

40. وَ اَنَّ سَعْیَهٗ سَوْفَ یُرٰى۪۝۴۰

41. Then he shall be recompensed for it fully.

41. ثُمَّ یُجْزٰىهُ الْجَزَآءَ الْاَوْفٰىۙ۝۴۱

42. And that verily, towards your Lord is the end.

42. وَ اَنَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ الْمُنْتَهٰىۙ۝۴۲

43. And that it is He who made one to laugh and made one to weep.

43. وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَضْحَكَ وَ اَبْكٰىۙ۝۴۳

44. And that it is He who caused death and caused life.

44. وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَمَاتَ وَ اَحْیَاۙ۝۴۴

45. And that it is He who made pairs male and female.

45. وَ اَنَّهٗ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَیْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَ الْاُنْثٰىۙ۝۴۵

46. From the sperm when it is poured forth.

46. مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ اِذَا تُمْنٰى۪۝۴۶

47. And that it is for Him the second raising.

47. وَ اَنَّ عَلَیْهِ النَّشْاَةَ الْاُخْرٰىۙ۝۴۷

48. And that it is He Who enriched and gave satisfaction.

48. وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَغْنٰى وَ اَقْنٰىۙ۝۴۸

49. And that it is He Who is the Lord of the star Sirius.

49. وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعْرٰىۙ۝۴۹

50. And that it is He Who destroyed the first Aad;

50. وَ اَنَّهٗۤ اَهْلَكَ عَادَا اِ۟لْاُوْلٰىۙ۝۵۰

51. And Thamud, then left none.

51. وَ ثَمُوْدَاۡ فَمَاۤ اَبْقٰىۙ۝۵۱

52. And before this the people of Nuh verily, they were more unjust and contumacious than them.

52. وَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ مِّنْ قَبْلُ١ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا هُمْ اَظْلَمَ وَ اَطْغٰىؕ۝۵۲

53. And He demolished the city to be over-turned.

53. وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ اَهْوٰىۙ۝۵۳

54. Then covered them what covered them.

54. فَغَشّٰىهَا مَا غَشّٰىۚ۝۵۴

55. Therefore O listener', which of your Lord favours would you doubt?

55. فَبِاَیِّ اٰلَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارٰى۝۵۵

56. This is a warner like the former warners.

56. هٰذَا نَذِیْرٌ مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الْاُوْلٰى۝۵۶

57. It came near that was to come near.

57. اَزِفَتِ الْاٰزِفَةُۚ۝۵۷

58. There is none to open it save Allah.

58. لَیْسَ لَهَا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ كَاشِفَةٌؕ۝۵۸

59. Do you then wonder at this discourse?

59. اَفَمِنْ هٰذَا الْحَدِیْثِ تَعْجَبُوْنَۙ۝۵۹

60. And do you laugh, and weep not.

60. وَ تَضْحَكُوْنَ وَ لَا تَبْكُوْنَۙ۝۶۰

61. And you are sporting.

61. وَ اَنْتُمْ سٰمِدُوْنَ۝۶۱

[^] (SAJDA) 12.

62. Therefore prostrate yourselves for Allah and worship Him. [^] (SAJDA) 12.

62. فَاسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَ اعْبُدُوْا۠۩۝۶۲
