Quran 81, At-Takwir (The Enfolding)

81:1When the sun is overthrown,

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

81:2And when the stars fall,

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انْكَدَرَتْ

81:3And when the hills are moved,

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

81:4And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

81:5And when the wild beasts are herded together,

وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

81:6And when the seas rise,

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

81:7And when souls are reunited,

وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

81:8And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ

81:9For what sin she was slain,

بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ

81:10And when the pages are laid open,

وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

81:11And when the sky is torn away,

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ

81:13And when the Garden is brought nigh,

وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

81:14(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا أَحْضَرَتْ

81:15Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ

81:16The stars which rise and set,

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ

81:17And the close of night,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

81:18And the breath of morning

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

81:19That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

81:20Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

81:21(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

81:22And your comrade is not mad.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ

81:23Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

81:24And he is not avid of the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

81:25Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ

81:26Whither then go ye?

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

81:27This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ

81:28Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ

81:29And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
