# Translation Ayah
1 When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
2 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ
3 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
4 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
5 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
6 When the oceans boil over with a swell; وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
7 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
8 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - وَإِذَا الْمَوْؤُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
9 For what crime she was killed; بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ
10 When the scrolls are laid open; وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
11 When the world on High is unveiled; وَإِذَا السَّمَاء كُشِطَتْ
12 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
13 And when the Garden is brought near;- وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
14 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ
15 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
16 Go straight, or hide; الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
17 And the Night as it dissipates; وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
18 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
19 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
20 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
21 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
22 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
23 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
24 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
25 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
26 When whither go ye? فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
27 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
28 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: لِمَن شَاء مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
29 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. وَمَا تَشَاؤُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاء اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
