# Translation Ayah
1 When the sun is folded up, إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
2 and when the stars lose their light, وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ
3 and when the mountains are moved, وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
4 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
5 and when all beasts are gathered together, وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
6 and when the seas are set on fire, وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
7 when the souls are divided into different classes, وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
8 and when the female infant buried alive is asked وَإِذَا الْمَوْؤُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
9 for what sin she was killed, بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ
10 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
11 when the sky is unveiled, وَإِذَا السَّمَاء كُشِطَتْ
12 and when Hell is set ablaze, وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
13 when Paradise is brought close: وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
14 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ
15 I swear by the receding stars, فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
16 the planets that run their course and set, الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
17 and the night that falls, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
18 and the first breath of morning. وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
19 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
20 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
21 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
22 Your companion is not one possessed: وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
23 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
24 He is not avid of the Unseen. وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
25 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
26 So where are you going? فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
27 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
28 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. لِمَن شَاء مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
29 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. وَمَا تَشَاؤُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاء اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
