Chapter 81, 29 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the sun is overthrown,
Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat
And when the stars fall,
Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat
And when the hills are moved,
Waitha aljibalu suyyirat
And when the camels big with young are abandoned,
Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat
And when the wild beasts are herded together,
Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat
And when the seas rise,
Waitha albiharu sujjirat
And when souls are reunited,
Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat
And when the girl - child that was buried alive is asked
Waitha almawoodatu suilat
For what sin she was slain,
Biayyi thanbin qutilat
And when the pages are laid open,
Waitha alssuhufu nushirat
And when the sky is torn away,
Waitha alssamao kushitat
And when hell is lighted,
Waitha aljaheemu suAAAAirat
And when the Garden is brought nigh,
Waitha aljannatu ozlifat
(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.
AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat
Oh, but I call to witness the planets,
Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi
The stars which rise and set,
Aljawari alkunnasi
And the close of night,
Waallayli itha AAasAAasa
And the breath of morning
Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa
That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,
Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin
(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;
MutaAAin thamma ameenin
And your comrade is not mad.
Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin
Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.
Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni
And he is not avid of the Unseen.
Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin
Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.
Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin
Whither then go ye ?
Faayna tathhaboona
This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,
In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.
Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema
And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.
Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
