When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

And when the mountains are removed

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

And when the wild beasts are gathered

And when the seas are filled with flame

And when the souls are paired

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

For what sin she was killed

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

And when the sky is stripped away

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

And when Paradise is brought near,

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

So I swear by the retreating stars -

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

And by the night as it closes in

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

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

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

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

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

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

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

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

So where are you going?

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

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