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]
