Surat At-Takwīr (The Overthrowing) - سورة التكوير

Sahih International
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

Sahih International
And when the stars fall, dispersing,

Sahih International
And when the mountains are removed

Sahih International
And when full-term she-camels are neglected

Sahih International
And when the wild beasts are gathered

Sahih International
And when the seas are filled with flame

Sahih International
And when the souls are paired

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

Sahih International
For what sin she was killed

Sahih International
And when the pages are made public

Sahih International
And when the sky is stripped away

Sahih International
And when Hellfire is set ablaze

Sahih International
And when Paradise is brought near,

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

Sahih International
So I swear by the retreating stars -

Sahih International
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

Sahih International
And by the night as it closes in

Sahih International
And by the dawn when it breathes

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

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

Sahih International
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

Sahih International
And your companion is not [at all] mad.

Sahih International
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

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

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

Sahih International
So where are you going?

Sahih International
It is not except a reminder to the worlds

Sahih International
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

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