Translation by Muhammad Taqi Usmani — Permalink
Verse 1 — Surah An-Najm 53:1
By the star when it goes down to set
Verse 2 — Surah An-Najm 53:2
your fellow (the Holy Prophet) has neither missed the way, nor did he deviate
Verse 3 — Surah An-Najm 53:3
He does not speak out of (his own) desire
Verse 4 — Surah An-Najm 53:4
It is but revelation revealed (to him)
Verse 5 — Surah An-Najm 53:5
It is taught to him by one (angel) of strong faculties
Verse 6 — Surah An-Najm 53:6
the one of vigour. So he stood poised
Verse 7 — Surah An-Najm 53:7
while he was on the upper horizon
Verse 8 — Surah An-Najm 53:8
Then he drew near, and came down
Verse 9 — Surah An-Najm 53:9
so as he was at a distance like that of two bows (joined together), rather even nearer
Verse 10 — Surah An-Najm 53:10
Thus He (Allah) revealed to His slave what He revealed
Verse 11 — Surah An-Najm 53:11
The heart did not err in what he saw
Verse 12 — Surah An-Najm 53:12
Do you quarrel with him in what he sees
Verse 13 — Surah An-Najm 53:13
Indeed he saw him another time
Verse 14 — Surah An-Najm 53:14
by Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (the lote-tree in the upper realm)
Verse 15 — Surah An-Najm 53:15
near which there is Jannat-ul-Ma‘wa (the Paradise of Abode)
Verse 16 — Surah An-Najm 53:16
when the lote-tree was covered by that which covered it
Verse 17 — Surah An-Najm 53:17
The eye neither went wrong, nor did exceed the limit
Verse 18 — Surah An-Najm 53:18
He has indeed seen a part of the biggest signs of your Lord
Verse 19 — Surah An-Najm 53:19
Have you ever considered about the (idols of) Lat and ‘Uzza
Verse 20 — Surah An-Najm 53:20
and about the other, the third (idol), namely, Manat
Verse 21 — Surah An-Najm 53:21
Is it that you have males and He (Allah) has females
Verse 22 — Surah An-Najm 53:22
If so, it is a bizarre division
Verse 23 — Surah An-Najm 53:23
These are nothing but names you and your fathers have invented; Allah has sent down no authority attached to them. They are following nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire, while guidance from their Lord has surely reached them
Verse 24 — Surah An-Najm 53:24
Is it that man can get whatever he wishes
Verse 25 — Surah An-Najm 53:25
(No,) because to Allah alone belongs the (good of) the Hereafter and the former life (of this world)
Verse 26 — Surah An-Najm 53:26
How many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession cannot benefit (any one) at all, but after Allah allows (it) for whomsoever He wills and pleases
Verse 27 — Surah An-Najm 53:27
Those who do not believe in the Hereafter call the angels by names of females
Verse 28 — Surah An-Najm 53:28
They do not have knowledge about it. They follow nothing but conjecture, and conjecture is of no avail in (the matter of) Truth
Verse 29 — Surah An-Najm 53:29
So, turn away from him who turns away from Our advice, and seeks nothing but (pleasure of) the worldly life
Verse 30 — Surah An-Najm 53:30
That is the limit of their access to knowledge. Indeed only your Lord knows well about the one who has gone astray from his way, and He knows well about the one who has adopted the right path
Verse 31 — Surah An-Najm 53:31
To Allah belongs whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth, so that He gives punishment to evildoers for what they did, and gives good reward to those who did good
Verse 32 — Surah An-Najm 53:32
those who abstain from the major sins and from shameful acts, except minor involvements. Indeed your Lord is extensive in forgiveness. He knows you more than anyone else (from a time) when He created you from the earth and when you were embryos in the wombs of your mothers. So, do not claim purity (from faults) for your selves. He knows best who is God-fearing
Verse 33 — Surah An-Najm 53:33
Did you see the one who turned away
Verse 34 — Surah An-Najm 53:34
and gave a little, and stopped
Verse 35 — Surah An-Najm 53:35
Does he have knowledge of the Unseen whereby he sees (what he believes)
Verse 36 — Surah An-Najm 53:36
Has he not been told of what was (revealed) in the scriptures of Musa
Verse 37 — Surah An-Najm 53:37
and of Ibrahim who fulfilled (his duties)
Verse 38 — Surah An-Najm 53:38
(It was) that no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of the other
Verse 39 — Surah An-Najm 53:39
and that a man shall not deserve but (the reward of) his own effort
Verse 40 — Surah An-Najm 53:40
and that his effort will soon be seen
Verse 41 — Surah An-Najm 53:41
then he will be recompensed for it in full
Verse 42 — Surah An-Najm 53:42
and that to your Lord is the end (of every one)
Verse 43 — Surah An-Najm 53:43
and that He is the One who makes (one) laugh and makes (him) weep
Verse 44 — Surah An-Najm 53:44
and that He is the One who gives death and gives life
Verse 45 — Surah An-Najm 53:45
and that He creates the pairs, male and female
Verse 46 — Surah An-Najm 53:46
from a sperm-drop when it is poured (into a womb)
Verse 47 — Surah An-Najm 53:47
and that the second creation is undertaken by Him
Verse 48 — Surah An-Najm 53:48
and that He is the One who gives wealth and preserves (it)
Verse 49 — Surah An-Najm 53:49
and that He is the One who is the Lord of Sirius (the star worshipped by pagans)
Verse 50 — Surah An-Najm 53:50
and that He has destroyed the earlier ‘Ad
Verse 51 — Surah An-Najm 53:51
and Thamud, so spared none
Verse 52 — Surah An-Najm 53:52
and (destroyed) the people of NuH even earlier. Surely they were more unjust and more rebellious
Verse 53 — Surah An-Najm 53:53
And He destroyed the overturned towns (of the people of LuT) also
Verse 54 — Surah An-Najm 53:54
so enveloped they were by that which enveloped
Verse 55 — Surah An-Najm 53:55
Then concerning which of your Lord‘s bounties would you remain in doubt
Verse 56 — Surah An-Najm 53:56
This (Prophet) is a warner from the (genus of the) previous warners
Verse 57 — Surah An-Najm 53:57
The Imminent (Hour of Judgment) has approached
Verse 58 — Surah An-Najm 53:58
There is no one, beside Allah, to remove it
Verse 59 — Surah An-Najm 53:59
Do you then wonder at this discourse
Verse 60 — Surah An-Najm 53:60
and laugh (at it), and not weep
Verse 61 — Surah An-Najm 53:61
while you are engaged in vain play
Verse 62 — Surah An-Najm 53:62
Now, fall down in prostration and worship (Allah)
