[1] When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
[2] And when the stars fall, dispersing,
[3] And when the mountains are removed
[4] And when full-term she-camels are neglected
[5] And when the wild beasts are gathered
[6] And when the seas are filled with flame
[7] And when the souls are paired
[8] And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
[9] For what sin she was killed
[10] And when the pages are made public
[11] And when the sky is stripped away
[12] And when Hellfire is set ablaze
[13] And when Paradise is brought near,
[14] A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
[15] So I swear by the retreating stars -
[16] Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
[17] And by the night as it closes in
[18] And by the dawn when it breathes
[19] [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
[20] [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
[21] Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
[22] And your companion is not [at all] mad.
[23] And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
[24] And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
[25] And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
[26] So where are you going?
[27] It is not except a reminder to the worlds
[28] For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
[29] And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
