Shakir

2 And when the stars darken,

Pickthall

3 And when the hills are moved,

3 And when the mountains are made to pass away,

Pickthall

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

Shakir

4 And when the camels are left untended,

Pickthall

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

Shakir

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

Pickthall

6 And when the seas rise,

Shakir

6 And when the seas are set on fire,

Pickthall

7 And when souls are reunited,

Shakir

7 And when souls are united,

Pickthall

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

Shakir

8 And when the female infant buried alive is asked

Pickthall

9 For what sin she was slain,

Shakir

9 For what sin she was killed,

Pickthall

10 And when the pages are laid open,

Shakir

10 And when the books are spread,

Pickthall

11 And when the sky is torn away,

Shakir

11 And when the heaven has its covering removed,

Pickthall

12 And when hell is lighted,

Shakir

12 And when the hell is kindled up,

Pickthall

13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,

Shakir

13 And when the garden is brought nigh,

Pickthall

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

Shakir

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

Pickthall

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

Shakir

15 But nay! I swear by the stars,

Pickthall

16 The stars which rise and set,

Shakir

16 That run their course (and) hide themselves,

Pickthall

17 And the close of night,

Shakir

17 And the night when it departs,

Pickthall

18 And the breath of morning

Shakir

18 And the morning when it brightens,

Pickthall

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

Shakir

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

Pickthall

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

Shakir

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

Pickthall

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

Shakir

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

Pickthall

22 And your comrade is not mad.

Shakir

22 And your companion is not gone mad.

Pickthall

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

Shakir

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

Pickthall

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

Shakir

24 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.

Pickthall

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

Shakir

25 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,

Pickthall

26 Whither then go ye ?

Shakir

26 Whither then will you go?

Pickthall

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

Shakir

27 It is naught but a reminder for the nations,

Pickthall

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

Shakir

28 For him among you who pleases to go straight.

Pickthall

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

Shakir

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