Surah 81

At-Takwir (The Folding Up)

﴿١﴾  إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
1.  When the sun is overthrown,
﴿٢﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ
2.  And when the stars fall,
﴿٣﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
3.  And when the hills are moved,
﴿٤﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
4.  And when the camels big with young are abandoned,
﴿٥﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
5.  And when the wild beasts are herded together,
﴿٦﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
6.  And when the seas rise,
﴿٧﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
7.  And when souls are reunited,
﴿٨﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ
8.  And when the girl child that was buried alive is asked
﴿٩﴾  بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ
9.  For what sin she was slain,
﴿١٠﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
10.  And when the pages are laid open,
﴿١١﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ
11.  And when the sky is torn away,
﴿١٢﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
12.  And when hell is lighted
﴿١٣﴾  وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
13.  And when the garden is brought nigh
﴿١٤﴾  عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
14.  (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.
﴿١٥﴾  فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
15.  Oh, but I call to witness the planets,
﴿١٦﴾  ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
16.  The stars which rise and set,
﴿١٧﴾  وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
17.  And the close of night,
﴿١٨﴾  وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
18.  And the breath of morning
﴿١٩﴾  إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
19.  That this is in truth the word of an honored messenger,
﴿٢٠﴾  ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
20.  Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,
﴿٢١﴾  مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
21.  (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;
﴿٢٢﴾  وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
22.  And your comrade is not mad.
﴿٢٣﴾  وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
23.  Surely he beheld him on the clear horizon.
﴿٢٤﴾  وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
24.  And he is not avid of the Unseen.
﴿٢٥﴾  وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ
25.  Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned
﴿٢٦﴾  فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
26.  Whither then go ye?
﴿٢٧﴾  إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
27.  This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,
﴿٢٨﴾  لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
28.  Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.
﴿٢٩﴾  وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
29.  And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.
