اِذَا الشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ ۙ ١
81:1
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness],
وَاِذَا النُّجُوۡمُ انۡكَدَرَتۡ ۙ ٢
81:2
And when the stars fall [out of orbit],
وَاِذَا الۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ ۙ ٣
81:3
And when the mountains are moved away,
وَاِذَا الۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ ۙ ٤
81:4
And when the pregnant camels are neglected,
وَاِذَا الۡوُحُوۡشُ حُشِرَتۡ ۙ ٥
81:5
And when the wild beasts are gathered [together],
وَاِذَا الۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ ۙ ٦
81:6
And when the seas are filled with fire,
وَاِذَا النُّفُوۡسُ زُوِّجَتۡ ۙ ٧
81:7
And when the souls are paired [with their deeds],
وَاِذَا الۡمَوۡءٗدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ ۙ ٨
81:8
And when the girl buried alive is asked
بِاَىِّ ذَنۡۢبٍ قُتِلَتۡ ؕ ٩
81:9
For what sin she was killed,
وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ ۙ ١٠
81:10
And when the scrolls [of deeds] are spread open,
وَاِذَا السَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ ۙ ١١
81:11
And when the heaven is removed,
وَاِذَا الۡجَحِيۡمُ سُعِّرَتۡ ۙ ١٢
81:12
And when Hellfire is set ablaze,
وَاِذَا الۡجَنَّةُ اُزۡلِفَتۡ ؕ ١٣
81:13
And when Paradise is brought near,
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٌ مَّاۤ اَحۡضَرَتۡ ؕ ١٤
81:14
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
فَلَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِالۡخُنَّسِ ۙ ١٥
81:15
So I swear by the retreating stars -
الۡجَوَارِ الۡكُنَّسِ ۙ ١٦
81:16
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا عَسۡعَسَ ۙ ١٧
81:17
And by the night as it draws to a close,
وَالصُّبۡحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۙ ١٨
81:18
And by the morning as it breathes,
اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُوۡلٍ كَرِيۡمٍ ۙ ١٩
81:19
Indeed, [the Qur'an] is the word of a noble Messenger [Gabriel]
ذِىۡ قُوَّةٍ عِنۡدَ ذِى الۡعَرۡشِ مَكِيۡنٍ ۙ ٢٠
81:20
[Who is] possessed of power and has a rank with the Lord of the Throne,
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيۡنٍ ؕ ٢١
81:21
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمۡ بِمَجۡنُوۡنٍ ۚ ٢٢
81:22
And your companion [Muhammad] is not [at all] mad.
وَلَقَدۡ رَاٰهُ بِالۡاُفُقِ الۡمُبِيۡنِ ۚ ٢٣
81:23
And he had already seen him [Gabriel] on the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الۡغَيۡبِ بِظَنِيۡنٍ ۚ ٢٤
81:24
And [Muhammad] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍ ۚ ٢٥
81:25
And [the Qur'an] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
فَاَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُوۡنَ ؕ ٢٦
81:26
So where are you going?
اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ۙ ٢٧
81:27
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
لِمَنۡ شَآءَ مِنۡكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّسۡتَقِيۡمَ ؕ ٢٨
81:28
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
وَمَا تَشَآءُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ٪ ٢٩
81:29
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
