Surah At-Takwir

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ ١

81:1 When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ ٢

81:2 And when the stars fall, dispersing

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ ٣

81:3 And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ ٤

81:4 And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ ٥

81:5 And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ ٦

81:6 And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ ٧

81:7 And when the souls are paired

وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ ٨

81:8 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ ٩

81:9 For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ ١٠

81:10 And when the pages are made public

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ ١١

81:11 And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ ١٢

81:12 And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ ١٣

81:13 And when Paradise is brought near

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ ١٤

81:14 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ ١٥

81:15 So I swear by the retreating stars

ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ ١٦

81:16 Those that run [their courses] and disappear

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ ١٧

81:17 And by the night as it closes in

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ١٨

81:18 And by the dawn when it breathes

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ ١٩

81:19 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ ٢٠

81:20 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position]

مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ ٢١

81:21 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ ٢٢

81:22 And your companion is not [at all] mad

وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ٢٣

81:23 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينٖ ٢٤

81:24 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٖ ٢٥

81:25 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]

فَأَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ ٢٦

81:26 So where are you going

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢٧

81:27 It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ ٢٨

81:28 For whoever wills among you to take a right course

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢٩

81:29 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds
