# Translation Ayah
1 When the sunlight is rolled up. إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
2 And when the stars fall down. وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ
3 And when the mountains are driven. وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
4 And when milch camels roam abandoned. وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
5 And when wild animals are herded together. وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
6 And when the seas are set afire. وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
7 And when the souls are paired. وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
8 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. وَإِذَا الْمَوْؤُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
9 Upon what sin was she killed for. بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ
10 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
11 And when the heaven is torn away. وَإِذَا السَّمَاء كُشِطَتْ
12 And when hell is further enflamed. وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
13 And when Paradise is brought near. وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
14 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ
15 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
16 Who move straight and stop. الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
17 And by oath of the night when it turns back. وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
18 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
19 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
20 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
21 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
22 And your companion is not insane. وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
23 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
24 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
25 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
26 So where are you going? فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
27 That is but an advice to the entire creation! إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
28 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. لِمَن شَاء مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
29 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. وَمَا تَشَاؤُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاء اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
