An-Najm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surat An-Najm (Arabic: سورة النجم ) (The Star) is the 53rd sura of the Qur'an with 62 ayat.
The surah is distinguished as being the first that required Muslims to prostrate (perform sajdah) when it is recited - according to Tafsir Ibn Kathir and a number of hadiths. When the surah was first narrated by Muhammad in Mecca, all Muslims and non-Muslims who heard the recitation prostrated to God upon its completion due to the effect that the words had upon them. [1]
Early versions of the Qur'an allegedly contained verses that were later expunged, known as Satanic Verses.
- Have you thought of al-Lat and al-'Uzza and Manat the third, the other
Shaitan allegedly tempted him to add the following line:
- These are the exalted Gharaniq, whose intercession is approved.
The incident of the insertion of theses verses was not however mentioned by any of Muhammad's companions and is most likely to be a later fabrication according to the vast majority of earlier (eg. Ibn Kathir and Qadi Iyad) and later Islamic scholars (eg. al-Albani).
