إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
When the sun is wrapped up in darkness.
The Rolling · at-Takwir · سورة التكوير · 29 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انْكَدَرَتْ
And when the stars fall, losing their light.
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
And when the mountains are moved away.
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
And when the camels, ready to give birth, are left alone.
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
And when wild animals are gathered together.
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
And when the seas burst into flames.
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
And when souls are joined with their deeds.
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
And when the baby girl buried alive is asked.
بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ
For what crime was she killed?
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
And when the records of deeds are opened wide.
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ
And when the sky is stripped away.
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
And when Hellfire is set blazing fiercely.
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
And when Paradise is brought near.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا أَحْضَرَتْ
Then each soul will clearly know what it has brought along.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
I swear by the stars that hide away.
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
Those that move swiftly and disappear.
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
And by the night as it gently fades.
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And by the morning as it softly breathes.
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger.
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
Who has great strength, honored by the Lord of the Throne.
مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
Obeyed there, and completely trustworthy.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ
And your companion is not crazy.
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
He certainly saw him on the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
And he is not stingy about sharing the unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
And this is not the word of a rejected devil.
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
So where are you going?
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ
This is only a reminder for all people.
لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ
For whoever among you wishes to follow the right path.
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
But you cannot wish it, unless Allah, the Lord of all worlds, wills it.
