Surah At-Takwir

اِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۝١ࣕۙ

1When the sun is wound up,

وَاِذَا النُّجُوْمُ انْكَدَرَتْ ۝٢ࣕۙ

2when the stars scatter,

وَاِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ۝٣ࣕۙ

3when the mountains are set moving,

وَاِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۝٤ࣕۙ

4when the pregnant camels are neglected,

وَاِذَا الْوُحُوْشُ حُشِرَتْ ۝٥ࣕۙ

5when the wild beasts are mustered,

وَاِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ۝٦ࣕۙ

6when the seas are set afire,

وَاِذَا النُّفُوْسُ زُوِّجَتْ ۝٧ࣕۙ

7when the souls are assorted,

وَاِذَا الْمَوْءٗدَةُ سُىِٕلَتْ ۝٨ࣕۙ

8when the girl buried-alive will be asked

بِاَيِّ ذَنۢ͏ْبٍ قُتِلَتْ ۝٩ۚ

9for what sin she was killed.

وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ۝١٠ࣕۙ

10When the records [of deeds] are unfolded,

وَاِذَا السَّمَا࢜ءُ كُشِطَتْ ۝١١ࣕۙ

11when the sky is stripped off,

وَاِذَا الْجَحِيْمُ سُعِّرَتْ ۝١٢ࣕۙ

12when hell is set ablaze,

وَاِذَا الْجَنَّةُ اُزْلِفَتْ ۝١٣ࣕۙ

13when paradise is brought near,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا͏ٓ اَحْضَرَتْ ۝١٤ؕ

14then a soul shall know what it has readied [for itself].

فَلَا͏ٓ اُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ۝١٥ۙ

15So I swear by the stars that return,

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ ۝١٦ۙ

16the comets,

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا عَسْعَسَ ۝١٧ۙ

17by the night as it approaches,

وَالصُّبْحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۝١٨ۙ

18by the dawn as it breathes:

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِيْمٍ ۝١٩ۙ

19it is indeed the speech of a noble apostle,

ذِيْ قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِيْنٍ ۝٢٠ۙ

20powerful and eminent with the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيْنٍ ۝٢١ؕ

21one who is obeyed and is trustworthy as well.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُوْنٍ ۝٢٢ۚ

22Your companion is not crazy:

وَلَقَدْ رَاٰهُ بِالْاُفُقِ الْمُبِيْنِ ۝٢٣ۚ

23certainly he saw him on the manifest horizon,

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَي الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِيْنٍ ۝٢٤ۚ

24and he is not miserly concerning the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطٰنٍ رَّجِيْمٍ ۝٢٥ۙ

25And it is not the speech of an outcast Satan.

فَاَيْنَ تَذْهَبُوْنَ ۝٢٦ؕ

26So where are you going?

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٢٧ۙ

27It is just a reminder for all the nations,

لِمَنْ شَا࢜ءَ مِنْكُمْ اَنْ يَّسْتَقِيْمَ ۝٢٨ؕ

28for those of you who wish to walk straight;

وَمَا تَشَا࢜ءُوْنَ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَنْ يَّشَا࢜ءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٢٩ࣖ

29but you will not wish unless it is wished by Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
