1 Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat

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

2 Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat

2 And when the stars fall,

3 Waitha aljibalu suyyirat

3 And when the hills are moved,

4 Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

5 Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

6 Waitha albiharu sujjirat

6 And when the seas rise,

7 Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat

7 And when souls are reunited,

8 Waitha almawoodatu suilat

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

9 Biayyi thanbin qutilat

9 For what sin she was slain,

10 Waitha alssuhufu nushirat

10 And when the pages are laid open,

11 Waitha alssamao kushitat

11 And when the sky is torn away,

12 Waitha aljaheemu suAAAAirat

12 And when hell is lighted,

13 Waitha aljannatu ozlifat

13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,

14 AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

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

15 Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

16 Aljawari alkunnasi

16 The stars which rise and set,

17 Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

17 And the close of night,

18 Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

18 And the breath of morning

19 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

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

20 Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

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

21 MutaAAin thamma ameenin

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

22 Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

22 And your comrade is not mad.

23 Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

24 Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

25 Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

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

26 Faayna tathhaboona

26 Whither then go ye ?

27 In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

28 Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

29 Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena

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