| 1 | When the sun is wound round and its light is lost and is overthrown. | |
| |
| 2 | And when the stars fall. | |
| |
| 3 | And when the mountains are made to pass away; | |
| |
| 4 | And when the pregnant she-camels are neglected; | |
| |
| 5 | And when the wild beasts are gathered together. | |
| |
| 6 | And when the seas become as blazing Fire or overflow. | |
| |
| 7 | And when the souls are joined with their bodies, (the good with the good and the bad with the bad). | |
| |
| 8 | And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) is questioned: | |
| |
| 9 | For what sin, was she killed? | |
| |
| 10 | And when the (written) pages [of deeds (good and bad) of every person] are laid open. | |
| |
| 11 | And when the heaven is stripped off and taken away from its place; | |
| |
| 12 | And when Hell-fire is set ablaze. | |
| |
| 13 | And when Paradise is 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'an brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibril (Gabril), from Allah to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم]. | |
| |
| 20 | Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allah), the Lord of the Throne, | |
| |
| 21 | Obeyed (by the angels in the heavens), and trustworthy. | |
| |
| 22 | And (O people) your companion (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not a madman. | |
| |
| 23 | And indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). | |
| |
| 24 | And he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) withholds not a knowledge of the Unseen. | |
| |
| 25 | And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). | |
| |
| 26 | Then where are you going? | |
| |
| 27 | Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn) | |
| |
| 28 | To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight. | |
| |
| 29 | And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills - the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
