In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
|
1. |
When the sun is Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). [1] |
|
2. |
And when the stars shall fall; |
|
3. |
And when the mountains shall made to pass away; |
|
4. |
And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; |
|
5. |
And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; |
|
6. |
And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; |
|
7. |
And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; |
|
8. |
And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. [2] |
|
9. |
For what sin she was killed? |
|
10. |
And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; |
|
11. |
And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; |
|
12. |
And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. |
|
13. |
And when Paradise shall be brought near, |
|
14. |
(Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). |
|
15. |
So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). |
|
16. |
And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, |
|
17. |
And by the night as it departs; |
|
18. |
And by the dawn as it brightens; |
|
19. |
Verily, this is the Word (this Qur'aan brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allaah to the Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)]. |
|
20. |
Owner of power, and high rank with (Allaah) the Lord of the Throne, |
|
21. |
Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). |
|
22. |
And (O people) your companion (Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) is not a madman; |
|
23. |
And indeed he (Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). |
|
24. |
And he (Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. |
|
25. |
And it (the Qur'aan) is not the word of the outcast Shaitaan (Satan). |
|
26. |
Then where are you going? |
|
27. |
Verily, this (the Qur'aan) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alameen (mankind and jinns). [3] |
|
28. |
To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, |
|
29. |
And you will not, unless (it be) that Allaah wills, the Lord of the 'Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists). |
