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

2 And when the stars fall.

2 And when the stars fall,

3 And when the mountains are made to pass away;

3 And when the hills are moved,

4 And when the pregnant she-camels are neglected;

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

5 And when the wild beasts are gathered together.

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

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

6 And when the seas rise,

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

7 And when souls are reunited,

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

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

9 For what sin, was she killed?

9 For what sin she was slain,

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

10 And when the pages are laid open,

11 And when the heaven is stripped off and taken away from its place;

11 And when the sky is torn away,

12 And when Hell-fire 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 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).

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

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

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

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

16 The stars which rise and set,

17 And by the night as it departs.

17 And the close of night,

18 And by the dawn as it brightens.

18 And the breath of morning

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

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

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

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

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

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

22 And your comrade is not mad.

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

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

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

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

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

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

26 Then where are you going?

26 Whither then go ye ?

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

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

28 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

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

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