1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the sun is wound round and its light is lost and is overthrown.

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the sun is overthrown,

1 When the sun is covered,

2 And when the stars fall.

2 And when the stars fall,

2 And when the stars darken,

3 And when the mountains are made to pass away;

3 And when the hills are moved,

3 And when the mountains are made to pass away,

4 And when the pregnant she-camels are neglected;

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

4 And when the camels are left untended,

5 And when the wild beasts are gathered together.

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

5 And when the wild animals are made to go forth,

6 And when the seas become as blazing Fire or overflow.

6 And when the seas rise,

6 And when the seas are set on fire,

7 And when the souls are joined with their bodies, (the good with the good and the bad with the bad).

7 And when souls are reunited,

7 And when souls are united,

8 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) is questioned:

8 And when the girl - child that was buried alive is asked

8 And when the female infant buried alive is asked

9 For what sin, was she killed?

9 For what sin she was slain,

9 For what sin she was killed,

10 And when the (written) pages [of deeds (good and bad) of every person] are laid open.

10 And when the pages are laid open,

10 And when the books are spread,

11 And when the heaven is stripped off and taken away from its place;

11 And when the sky is torn away,

11 And when the heaven has its covering removed,

12 And when Hell-fire is set ablaze.

12 And when hell is lighted,

12 And when the hell is kindled up,

13 And when Paradise is brought near.

13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,

13 And when the garden is brought nigh,

14 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).

14 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

14 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.

15 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

15 But nay! I swear by the stars,

16 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves.

16 The stars which rise and set,

16 That run their course (and) hide themselves,

17 And by the night as it departs.

17 And the close of night,

17 And the night when it departs,

18 And by the dawn as it brightens.

18 And the breath of morning

18 And the morning when 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].

19 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

19 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,

20 Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allah), the Lord of the Throne,

20 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

20 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,

21 Obeyed (by the angels in the heavens), and trustworthy.

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

21 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.

22 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not a madman.

22 And your comrade is not mad.

22 And your companion is not gone mad.

23 And indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east).

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

23 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.

24 And he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) withholds not a knowledge of the Unseen.

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

24 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.

25 And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan).

25 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

25 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,

26 Then where are you going?

26 Whither then go ye ?

26 Whither then will you go?

27 Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn)

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

27 It is naught but a reminder for the nations,

28 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

28 For him among you who pleases to go straight.

29 And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills - the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

29 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
