Meaning: The Star
Total Ayahs: 62
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah An-Najm begins with an oath by the falling star, emphasizing that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) neither errs nor speaks from desire—the revelation is divine. It narrates his heavenly vision with Gabriel, rejects idolaters’ claims, refutes female deity attributions, and highlights human accountability. It concludes with a warning about the nearness of the Day of Judgment and calls for prostration.
Prophet Muhammad’s message is divine; human conjecture is false. Revelation is truth. The Hereafter is near, and obedience is demanded.
Reciting this Surah inspires certainty in prophethood, encourages humility before revelation, and reminds of accountability and righteous living. It is known to humble the heart—legend says believers and disbelievers prostrated at its recitation.
53:1-2 "وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ * مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ" – ‘By the star when it descends... Your companion did not err, nor was he deluded.’
53:62 "فَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا" – ‘So prostrate to Allah and worship Him.’
Humility before divine truth; rejecting rumor and prideful denial; recognizing the legitimacy of revelation.
