In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
|
| 1. |
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is
overthrown[] ). |
| 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.[] |
| 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'ân brought by) a most honourable
messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allâh to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace
be upon him)]. |
| 20. |
Owner of power, and high rank with (Allâh) the Lord of the Throne, |
| 21. |
Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). |
| 22. |
And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a
madman; |
| 23. |
And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)]
in the clear horizon (towards the east). |
| 24. |
And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the
unseen. |
| 25. |
And it (the Qur'ân) is not the word of the outcast
Shaitân (Satan). |
| 26. |
Then where are you going? |
| 27. |
Verily, this (the Qur'ân) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the
'Alamîn (mankind and jinns)[] . |
| 28. |
To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, |
| 29. |
And you will not, unless (it be) that Allâh wills, the Lord of
the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). |
