1 When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

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

2 And when the stars fall, dispersing,

2 And when the stars fall,

3 And when the mountains are removed

3 And when the hills are moved,

4 And when full - term she - camels are neglected

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

5 And when the wild beasts are gathered

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

6 And when the seas are filled with flame

6 And when the seas rise,

7 And when the souls are paired

7 And when souls are reunited,

8 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

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

9 For what sin she was killed

9 For what sin she was slain,

10 And when the pages are made public

10 And when the pages are laid open,

11 And when the sky is stripped away

11 And when the sky is torn away,

12 And when Hellfire is set ablaze

12 And when hell is lighted,

13 And when Paradise is brought near,

13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,

14 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

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

15 So I swear by the retreating stars -

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

16 Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

16 The stars which rise and set,

17 And by the night as it closes in

17 And the close of night,

18 And by the dawn when it breathes

18 And the breath of morning

19 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

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

20 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

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

21 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

22 And your companion is not [at all] mad.

22 And your comrade is not mad.

23 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

24 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

25 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

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

26 So where are you going?

26 Whither then go ye ?

27 It is not except a reminder to the worlds

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

28 For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

29 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.

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