In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

✦
1
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
◆

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

2
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ
◆

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

3
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
◆

And when the mountains are removed

4
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
◆

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

5
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
◆

And when the wild beasts are gathered

6
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
◆

And when the seas are filled with flame

7
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

And when the souls are paired

8
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ

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

9
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ
◆

For what sin she was killed

10
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
◆

And when the pages are made public

11
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
◆

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
◆

And when Paradise is brought near,

14
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
◆

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

15
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
◆

So I swear by the retreating stars -

16
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
◆

Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

17
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
◆

And by the night as it closes in

18
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
◆

And by the dawn when it breathes

19
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
◆

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

20
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ
◆

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

21
مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ
◆

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

22
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ
◆

And your companion is not [at all] mad.

23
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
◆

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

24
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ
◆

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

25
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ
◆

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

26
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
◆

So where are you going?

27
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
◆

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

28
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
◆

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

29
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
◆

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