HORRORS OF JUDGMENT DAY
1When the sun is put out,
2and when the stars fall down,
3and when the mountains are blown away,
4and when pregnant camels are left all alone',
5and when wild beasts are gathered together,
6and when the seas are set on fire,
7and when the souls 'and their bodies' are paired 'once more',
8and when baby girls, buried alive, are asked
9for what crime they were put to death,'
10and when the books of deeds are laid open,
11and when the sky is ripped away,
12and when Hell is flared Up,
13and when Jannah is brought near—
14'on that Day' each soul will know what deeds' it has brought along.
إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ1
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ2
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ3
وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ4
وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ5
وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ6
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ7
وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ8
بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ9
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ10
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ11
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ12
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ13
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ14

A MESSAGE TO THE DENIERS
15I swear by the sneaking stars'
16that travel and hide,
17and the night as it falls
18and the day as it breaks!
19Surely this Quran' is the Word of Allah delivered by Jibreel,' a noble messenger-angel
20full of power, held in honour by the Lord of the Throne,
21Obeyed there in heaven, and fully trusted.
22And your fellow man Muhammad is not crazy.
23And he actually saw that 'angel' on the clear horizon,
24and he does not hold back what is revealed to him of the unseen.
25And this 'Quran' is not the word of a rejected Devil.
26So what 'other' path would you take?
27Surely this Quran' is only a reminder to the whole world—
28to whoever of you wishes to take the Straight Way.
29But you cannot do so, except by the Will of Allah, the Lord of the whole universe.
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ15
ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ16
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ17
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ18
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ19
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ20
مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ21
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ22
وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ23
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينٖ24
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٖ25
فَأَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ26
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ27
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ28
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ29
