بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْAyah 1
81:1When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْAyah 2
81:2And when the stars fall, dispersing,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْAyah 3
81:3And when the mountains are removed
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْAyah 4
81:4And when full-term she-camels are neglected
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْAyah 5
81:5And when the wild beasts are gathered
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْAyah 6
81:6And when the seas are filled with flame
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْAyah 7
81:7And when the souls are paired
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْAyah 8
81:8And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْAyah 9
81:9For what sin she was killed
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْAyah 10
81:10And when the pages are made public
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْAyah 11
81:11And when the sky is stripped away
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْAyah 12
81:12And when Hellfire is set ablaze
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْAyah 13
81:13And when Paradise is brought near,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْAyah 14
81:14A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِAyah 15
81:15So I swear by the retreating stars -
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِAyah 16
81:16Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَAyah 17
81:17And by the night as it closes in
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَAyah 18
81:18And by the dawn when it breathes
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢAyah 19
81:19[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢAyah 20
81:20[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢAyah 21
81:21Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢAyah 22
81:22And your companion is not [at all] mad.
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِAyah 23
81:23And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢAyah 24
81:24And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢAyah 25
81:25And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَAyah 26
81:26So where are you going?
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَAyah 27
81:27It is not except a reminder to the worlds
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَAyah 28
81:28For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَAyah 29
81:29And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
