Sura 53: An-Najm map

Surah maps — Sura 53: An-Najm

1. The Truth of Revelation and Its Two Scenes · 1–18
   An oath by the star as it descends that their companion neither strayed nor erred nor speaks from desire, then two scenes of revelation: receiving it from the mighty one at the highest horizon, and seeing him a second descent at the Lote Tree of the Utmost.
   • First Scene: Receiving Revelation · 1–12
   • Second Scene: The Utmost Lote Tree · 13–18
2. The Hollowness of Polytheism · 19–32
   Al-Lat, al-'Uzza, and Manat the third are mere names they invented with no authority from Allah; their fancies about the angels as Allah's daughters rest on conjecture; then turn from whoever turns from the Reminder, and Allah's vast forgiveness.
   • Al-Lat, al-'Uzza, and Manat · 19–28
   • Turning from the One Who Turns Away · 29–32
3. Foundations of Creed and the Fates of the Past · 33–55
   The one who turned away and gave little then withheld, and what is in the scrolls of Moses and Abraham: no bearer bears another's burden, man has only what he strives for; to your Lord is the final end, disposing laughter and weeping, death and life; then the destruction of 'Ad, Thamud, Noah's people, and the overturned towns.
   • The One Who Turned Away and the Early Scrolls · 33–41
   • To Your Lord Is the Final End · 42–49
   • Destroying 'Ad, Thamud, and Noah's People · 50–55
4. The Close: The Approaching Hour and Prostration · 56–62
   This is a warner like the former warners; the Approaching has drawn near, none besides Allah can remove it — do you wonder at this discourse, laughing and not weeping, diverted: so prostrate to Allah and worship Him.
