When the sun is covered,
Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat
Chapter 81, 29 verses
When the sun is covered,
Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat
And when the stars darken,
Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat
And when the mountains are made to pass away,
Waitha aljibalu suyyirat
And when the camels are left untended,
Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat
And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat
And when the seas are set on fire,
Waitha albiharu sujjirat
And when souls are united,
Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
Waitha almawoodatu suilat
For what sin she was killed,
Biayyi thanbin qutilat
And when the books are spread,
Waitha alssuhufu nushirat
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
Waitha alssamao kushitat
And when the hell is kindled up,
Waitha aljaheemu suAAAAirat
And when the garden is brought nigh,
Waitha aljannatu ozlifat
Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat
But nay! I swear by the stars,
Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi
That run their course (and) hide themselves,
Aljawari alkunnasi
And the night when it departs,
Waallayli itha AAasAAasa
And the morning when it brightens,
Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
MutaAAin thamma ameenin
And your companion is not gone mad.
Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin
Whither then will you go?
Faayna tathhaboona
It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
For him among you who pleases to go straight.
Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema
And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
