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