At-Takwir

The Overthrowing

1

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

2

And when the stars fall, dispersing

3

And when the mountains are removed

4

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

5

And when the wild beasts are gathered

6

And when the seas are filled with flame

7

And when the souls are paired

8

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

9

For what sin she was killed

10

And when the pages are made public

11

And when the sky is stripped away

12

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

13

And when Paradise is brought near

14

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

15

So I swear by the retreating stars

16

Those that run [their courses] and disappear

17

And by the night as it closes in

18

And by the dawn when it breathes

19

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

20

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

21

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

22

And your companion is not [at all] mad

23

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon

24

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

25

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

26

So where are you going

27

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

28

For whoever wills among you to take a right course

29

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