Sura 53 The Star (Al-Najm)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[53:1] By the star when it falls away,

[53:2] your friend was not misguided, nor was he misled,

[53:3] nor does he speak out of personal desire.

[53:4] It is but an inspiration being inspired.

[53:5] He was taught by one mighty in power,

[53:6] possessor of authority. He acquired perfect form

[53:7] while he was at the highest horizon.

[53:8] Then he moved down and hung suspended.

[53:9] He was two bows' length away or closer.

[53:10] He then inspired to His servant what he inspired.

[53:11] The heart did not lie about what it saw.

[53:12] Do you then dispute with him about what he saw?

[53:13] He saw him in another descent,

[53:14] by the lote-tree at the farthest point

[53:15] at which lies the Garden of Refuge.

[53:16] When that which covered the lote-tree covered it,

[53:17] the sight did not deviate nor transgress.

[53:18] He saw some of his Lord's greatest signs.
