بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ﴿١﴾
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ ﴿٢﴾
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ﴿٣﴾
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ﴿٤﴾
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ﴿٥﴾
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ﴿٦﴾
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ﴿٧﴾
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ ﴿٨﴾
بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ ﴿٩﴾
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ﴿١٠﴾
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ ﴿١١﴾
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ﴿١٢﴾
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ﴿١٣﴾
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ ﴿١٤﴾
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ﴿١٥﴾
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ ﴿١٦﴾
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ﴿١٧﴾
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ﴿١٨﴾
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ﴿١٩﴾
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ﴿٢٠﴾
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ﴿٢١﴾
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ ﴿٢٢﴾
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ ﴿٢٣﴾
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ﴿٢٤﴾
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ ﴿٢٥﴾
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ﴿٢٨﴾
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّـهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

IN THE NAME OF GOD, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL

When the sun is overthrown (1)
And when the stars are made to disappear (2)
And when the mountains are removed from their places (3)
And when the pregnant camels are neglected (4)
And when the beasts are gathered together (5)
And when the seas are made to overflow (6)
And when the souls are paired (7)
And when the female infant buried alive is questioned (8)
For what sin she was killed (9)
And when the scriptures are spread out (10)
And when the heaven is stripped away (11)
And when the hellfire is made to blaze (12)
And when the Paradise is brought near (13)
Then every soul will know what it has brought about (14)
Therefore I swear by the stars that recede (15)
The stars that run their courses (16)
And the night as it cometh on (17)
And the dawn as it breathes (18)
That this is indeed the word of a noble Messenger (19)
Endued with power, with the Lord of the Throne, in authority (20)
Obeyed and trustworthy (21)
And your companion is not mad (22)
And he certainly saw him on the clear horizon (23)
And he is not stingy with the unseen (24)
And it is not the word of an evil devil (25)
Then whither are ye going? (26)
This is nothing but a Reminder to all creatures (27)
For him among you who chooses to follow the right way (28)
And ye will not choose unless God, the Lord of the worlds, wills
