53. An-Najm - (The Star)

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:1]

By the Star when it goes down,-

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:2]

Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:3]

Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:4]

It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:5]

He was taught by one Mighty in Power,

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:6]

Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:7]

While he was in the highest part of the horizon:

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:8]

Then he approached and came closer,

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:9]

And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:10]

So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:11]

The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:12]

Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:13]

For indeed he saw him at a second descent,

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:14]

Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:

Recitation:

English Yusuf Ali: [53:15]

Near it is the Garden of Abode.
