| Surah At-Takwir | |||
| In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | When the sun Kuwwirat ( wound round and lost its light and is overthrown ). | ||
| 2 | And when the stars shall fall; | ||
| 3 | And when the mountains shall made to pass away; | ||
| 4 | And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; | ||
| 5 | And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; | ||
| 6 | And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; | ||
| 7 | And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; | ||
| 8 | And when the female ( infant ) buried alive ( as the pagan Arabs used to do ) shall be questioned. | ||
| 9 | For what sin she was killed? | ||
| 10 | And when the written pages of deeds ( good and bad ) of every person shall be laid open; | ||
| 11 | And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; | ||
| 12 | And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. | ||
| 13 | And when Paradise shall be brought near, | ||
| 14 | ( Then ) every person will know what he has brought ( of good and evil ). | ||
| 15 | So verily, I swear by the planets that recede ( i. e. disappear during the day and appear during the night ). | ||
| 16 | And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, | ||
| 17 | And by the night as it departs; | ||
| 18 | And by the dawn as it brightens; | ||
| 19 | Verily, this is the Word ( this Qur'ān brought by ) a most honourable messenger [ Jibrael ( Gabriel ), from Allāh to the Prophet Muhammad ]. | ||
| 20 | Owner of power, and high rank with ( Allāh ) the Lord of the Throne, | ||
| 21 | Obeyed ( by the angels ), trustworthy there ( in the heavens ). | ||
| 22 | And ( O people ) your companion ( Muhammad ) is not a madman; | ||
| 23 | And indeed he ( Muhammad ) saw him [ Jibrael ( Gabriel ) ] in the clear horizon ( towards the east ). | ||
| 24 | And he ( Muhammad ) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. | ||
| 25 | And it ( the Qur'ān ) is not the word of the outcast Shaitān ( Satan ). | ||
| 26 | Then where are you going? | ||
| 27 | Verily, this ( the Qur'ān ) is no less than a Reminder to ( all ) the 'Alamīn ( mankind and jinns ). | ||
| 28 | To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, | ||
| 29 | And you will not, unless ( it be ) that Allāh wills, the Lord of the 'Alamīn ( mankind, jinns and all that exists ). | ||
