At-Takwir

¹When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

²And when the stars fall, dispersing,

³And when the mountains are removed

⁴And when full-term she-camels[1865] are neglected

⁵And when the wild beasts are gathered

⁶And when the seas are filled with flame[1866]

⁷And when the souls are paired[1867]

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

⁹For what sin she was killed

¹⁰And when the pages[1868] are spread [i.e., made public]

¹¹And when the sky is stripped away

¹²And when Hellfire is set ablaze

¹³And when Paradise is brought near,

¹⁴A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].[1869]

¹⁵So I swear by the retreating stars -

¹⁶Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]

¹⁷And by the night as it closes in[1870]

¹⁸And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]

¹⁹[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]

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

²¹Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

²²And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) ] is not [at all] mad.[1871]

²³And he has already seen him [i.e., Gabriel] in the clear horizon.[1872]

²⁴And he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.[1873]

²⁵And it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

²⁶So where are you going?[1874]

²⁷It is not except a reminder to the worlds

²⁸For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

²⁹And you do not will except that Allāh wills - Lord of the worlds.
