[UQP] Surah Najm ~ The Star

[Abu Muslimah]

In the name of Allah, the All Aware, the Preserver

Surah Najm, surah number 53. contains a simliar ayah to the familiar "fabi ayah" in Surah Rahman but with a slight variation.

Before we begin, we should seek refuge in Allah from shaitaan the outcast and purify our intentions to be solely for Allah SWT.

its been increased because we've been doing it for a while now, so 5 should be ok insha'Allah]. No other posts in here, just the ayaats. The ayaats will be posted, 5 ayaats in arabic, the english tranlisterated below and then once again, the english translated below that and, and the 5 ayaats broken up from Meshary Efaasy for memorisation and tajweed [put this on your MP3 player and listen over and over]

Also, arabic word from each ayah will be highlighted in ahmar and the corresponding word in english highlighted in red aswell. This is for 2 reasons; to try to teach even a little bit of arabic and also, if you know the meaning of the keywords in the ayah, its easier to memorise the ayah.

Entire Surah can be downloaded below, all beautiful masha'Allah.

Efaasy recites this surah beautifully as does Saad Al Ghamdi. Also, new 1427 recitation of Najm available of Surah Najm..

Nor does he speak of (his own) desire.


إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى

'In Huwa 'Illā Waĥyun YūĥáIt is only an Inspiration that is inspired.

He has been taught (this Quran) by one mighty in power (Jibrael (Gabriel)).

مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى
Mā Kadhaba Al-Fu'uādu Mā Ra'á
The (Prophets) heart lied not (in seeing) what he (Muhammad SAW) saw.

أَفَتُمَارُونَهُ عَلَى مَا يَرَى
'Afatumārūnahu `Alá Mā Yará
Will you then dispute with him (Muhammad SAW) about what he saw (during the Miraj: (Ascent of the Prophet SAW over the seven heavens)) .

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى
Wa Laqad Ra'āhu Nazlatan 'Ukhrá

إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى
'Idh Yaghshá As-Sidrata Mā Yaghshá
When that covered the lote-tree which did cover it!


مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى
Mā Zāgha Al-Başaru Wa Mā Ţaghá
The sight (of Prophet Muhammad SAW) turned not aside (right or left), nor it transgressed beyond (the) limit (ordained for it).


لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى
Laqad Ra'á Min 'Āyāti Rabbihi Al-Kubrá
Indeed he (Muhammad SAW) did see, of the Greatest Signs, of his Lord (Allah).


أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى
'Afara'aytumu Al-Lāta Wa Al-`Uzzá
Have you then considered Al-Lat, and Al-Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs)

وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى
Wa Manāata Ath-Thālithata Al-'Ukhrá
And Manat (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third?

[Abu Muslimah]

أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنثَى

Is it for you the males and for Him the females?


تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَى
Tilka 'Idhāan Qismatun Đīzá
That indeed is a division most unfair!


إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْأَنفُسُ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدَى

They are but names which you have named, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire, whereas there has surely come to them the Guidance from their Lord!

أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّى
'Am Lil'insāni Mā Tamanná
Or shall man have what he wishes?

=========
We'll stick to 4 ayaats this time insha'Allah as one ayah is pretty long..

[Abu Muslimah]

فَلِلَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ وَالْأُولَى
Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola
But to Allah belongs the last (Hereafter) and the first (the world).


وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تُغْنِي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَرْضَى
Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
And there are many angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He wills and pleases.



إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنثَى
Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha
Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.



وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ
شَيْئًا
Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan
While they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and verily, guess is no substitute for the truth.

فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّى عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
Fa'a`riđ `An Man Tawallá `An Dhikrinā Wa Lam Yurid 'Illā Al-Ĥayāata Ad-Dunyā
Therefore withdraw (O Muhammad SAW) from him who turns away from Our Reminder (this Quran) and desires nothing but the life of this world.

ذَلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَى
Dhālika Mablaghuhum Mina Al-`Ilmi 'Inna Rabbaka Huwa 'A`lamu Biman Đalla `An Sabīlihi Wa Huwa 'A`lamu Bimani Ahtadá
That is what they could reach of knowledge. Verily, your Lord it is He Who knows best him who goes astray from His Path, and He knows best him who receives guidance.


وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاؤُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى
Wa Lillahi Mā Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Mā Fī Al-'Arđi Liyajziya Al-Ladhīna 'Asā'ū Bimā `Amilū Wa Yajziya Al-Ladhīna 'Aĥsanū Bil-Ĥusná
And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise).

Those who avoid great sins (see the Quran, Verses: 6:152,153) and Al-Fawahish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) except the small faults, verily, your Lord is of vast forgiveness. He knows you well when He created you from the earth (Adam), and when you were fetuses in your mothers wombs. So ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allah and keep his duty to Him (i.e. those who are Al-Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2)).


أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى
'Afara'ayta Al-Ladhī Tawallá
Did you (O Muhammad SAW) observe him who turned away (from Islam).


وَأَعْطَى قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَى
Wa 'A`ţá Qalīlāan Wa 'Akdá
