Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
Chapter 81, 29 verses
Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
Waitha aljibalu suyyirat
And when the mountains are removed
Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat
And when full - term she - camels are neglected
Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat
And when the wild beasts are gathered
Waitha albiharu sujjirat
And when the seas are filled with flame
Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat
And when the souls are paired
Waitha almawoodatu suilat
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
Biayyi thanbin qutilat
For what sin she was killed
Waitha alssuhufu nushirat
And when the pages are made public
Waitha alssamao kushitat
And when the sky is stripped away
Waitha aljaheemu suAAAAirat
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
Waitha aljannatu ozlifat
And when Paradise is brought near,
AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi
So I swear by the retreating stars -
Aljawari alkunnasi
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
Waallayli itha AAasAAasa
And by the night as it closes in
Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa
And by the dawn when it breathes
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
MutaAAin thamma ameenin
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
Faayna tathhaboona
So where are you going?
In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
