আল তাকওয়ায়ীর

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the sun is wound round and its light is lost and is overthrown.

1 Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat

2 And when the stars fall.

2 Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat

3 And when the mountains are made to pass away;

4 And when the pregnant she-camels are neglected;

4 Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat

5 And when the wild beasts are gathered together.

5 Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat

6 And when the seas become as blazing Fire or overflow.

6 Waitha albiharu sujjirat

7 And when the souls are joined with their bodies, (the good with the good and the bad with the bad).

7 Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat

8 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) is questioned:

8 Waitha almawoodatu suilat

9 For what sin, was she killed?

9 Biayyi thanbin qutilat

10 And when the (written) pages [of deeds (good and bad) of every person] are laid open.

10 Waitha alssuhufu nushirat

13 And when Paradise is brought near.

13 Waitha aljannatu ozlifat

14 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).

14 AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

15 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).

15 Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

16 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves.

16 Aljawari alkunnasi

17 And by the night as it departs.

17 Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

18 And by the dawn as it brightens.

18 Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

19 Verily, this is the Word (this Qur'an brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibril (Gabril), from Allah to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم].

19 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

20 Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allah), the Lord of the Throne,

20 Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

21 Obeyed (by the angels in the heavens), and trustworthy.

21 MutaAAin thamma ameenin

22 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not a madman.

22 Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

23 And indeed he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east).

23 Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

24 And he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) withholds not a knowledge of the Unseen.

24 Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

25 And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan).

25 Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

26 Then where are you going?

26 Faayna tathhaboona

27 Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn)

27 In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

28 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.

28 Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

29 And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills - the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

29 Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
