CLOSING PRAYER
Ya Allah (O Allah), we praise You, the Lord of Sirius (the mighty star). We thank You for preserving the revelation and guiding us through Surah An-Najm word by word.
O Rabb, just as Your Prophet’s sight “did not swerve, nor did it transgress,” grant us focus and sincerity in our faith. Save us from following mere conjecture and the desires of our souls. Grant us the humility to fall in prostration and worship You alone, as commanded in the final verse of this powerful Surah.
Do not let this knowledge remain only on our tongues; transform it into righteous action in our lives. Accept this humble effort from us, for truly, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Ameen.

Quranic Statistics: Building Vocabulary through Surah An-Najm
Many students feel overwhelmed by the vastness of the Quran, but the numbers prove it is achievable. The Quran is composed of approximately 77,797 total words, yet the vocabulary is highly repetitive.
- Total Unique Words: Approximately 14,870.
- Actual Root Words: Only ~2,000 words.
By reading Surah An-Najm word-by-word, you are learning the essential root words found in this chapter. Since these roots repeat frequently throughout the Quran, mastering the vocabulary in these verses directly contributes to understanding the entire Holy Book.
Enhance Your Salah with Surah An-Najm
During the five daily prayers, a Muslim recites and repeats an average of 200-250 Arabic words. If these words are not understood, the mind often wanders. Reading Surah An-Najm word-by-word helps you recognize this vocabulary in real-time. When you stand for prayer and recite verses from this Surah, you will finally understand exactly what you are saying to your Creator, leading to:
- Khushu (Focus): A concentrated mind during Salah.
- Quality: A higher spiritual quality of worship.
- Connection: An immediate, emotional connection to the recitation.
