In the name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. When the sun
(with its spacious light) is folded up;
2. When the
stars fall, losing their lustre;
3. When the
mountains vanish (like a mirage);
4. When the
she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
5. When the
wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
6. When the
oceans boil over with a swell;
7. When the
souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
8. When the
female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
9. For what
crime she was killed;
10. When the
scrolls are laid open;
11. When the
world on High is unveiled;
12. When the
Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
13. And when the
Garden is brought near;-
14. (Then) shall
each soul know what it has put forward.
15. So verily I
call to witness the planets - that recede,
16. Go straight,
or hide;
17. And the
Night as it dissipates;
18. And the Dawn
as it breathes away the darkness;-
19. Verily this
is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
20. Endued with
Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
21. With
authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
22. And (O
people!) your companion is not one possessed;
23. And without
doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
24. Neither doth
he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
25. Nor is it
the word of an evil spirit accursed.
26. When whither
go ye?
27. Verily this
is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
28. (With
profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
29. But ye shall
not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
