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