Surah 81: At-Takwir (At-Takwir) · التكوير

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ

And when the stars fall, dispersing

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ

And when the souls are paired

وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ

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

بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ

And when the pages are made public

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ

And when Paradise is brought near

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ

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

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ

So I swear by the retreating stars

ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ

Those that run [their courses] and disappear

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ

And by the night as it closes in

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the dawn when it breathes

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ

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

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ

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

مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ

And your companion is not [at all] mad

وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينٖ

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

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٖ

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

فَأَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ

So where are you going

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ

For whoever wills among you to take a right course

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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