Read surah An-Najm

وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ 

CONSIDER this unfolding [of God’s message], as it comes down from on high!

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ 

This fellow-man of yours has not gone astray, nor is he deluded,

وَمَا یَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰۤ 

and neither does he speak out of his own desire:

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡیࣱ یُوحَىٰ 

that [which he conveys to you] is but [a divine] inspiration with which he is being inspired –

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِیدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ 

something that a very mighty one has imparted to him:

ذُو مِرَّةࣲ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ 

[an angel] endowed with sur­passing power, who in time manifested himself in his true shape and nature,

وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ 

appearing in the horizon’s loftiest part,

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ 

and then drew near, and came close,

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَیۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ 

until he was but two bow-lengths away, or even nearer.

فَأَوۡحَىٰۤ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَاۤ أَوۡحَىٰ 

And thus did [God] reveal unto His servant whatever He deemed right to reveal.
