Surah At-Takwir
سُورَةُ التَّكۡوِيرِSurah At-Takwir describes cosmic events at the end of time when the sun is wrapped up and stars fall. It affirms the Quran's divine origin.
اِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۟
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
وَاِذَا النُّجُوْمُ انْكَدَرَتْ ۟
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
وَاِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُیِّرَتْ ۟
And when the mountains are removed
وَاِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۟
And when full-term she-camels are neglected
وَاِذَا الْوُحُوْشُ حُشِرَتْ ۟
And when the wild beasts are gathered
وَاِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ۟
And when the seas are filled with flame
وَاِذَا النُّفُوْسُ زُوِّجَتْ ۟
And when the souls are paired
وَاِذَا الْمَوْءٗدَةُ سُىِٕلَتْ ۟
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
بِاَیِّ ذَنْۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ ۟ۚ
For what sin she was killed
وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ۟
And when the pages are made public
وَاِذَا السَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ ۟
And when the sky is stripped away
وَاِذَا الْجَحِیْمُ سُعِّرَتْ ۟
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
وَاِذَا الْجَنَّةُ اُزْلِفَتْ ۟
And when Paradise is brought near,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّاۤ اَحْضَرَتْ ۟ؕ
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ۟ۙ
So I swear by the retreating stars -
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ ۟ۙ
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَالَّیْلِ اِذَا عَسْعَسَ ۟ۙ
And by the night as it closes in
وَالصُّبْحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۟ۙ
And by the dawn when it breathes
اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
ذِیْ قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِی الْعَرْشِ مَكِیْنٍ ۟ۙ
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِیْنٍ ۟ؕ
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُوْنٍ ۟ۚ
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
وَلَقَدْ رَاٰهُ بِالْاُفُقِ الْمُبِیْنِ ۟ۚ
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَی الْغَیْبِ بِضَنِیْنٍ ۟ۚ
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَیْطٰنٍ رَّجِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
فَاَیْنَ تَذْهَبُوْنَ ۟ؕ
So where are you going?
اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۙ
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
لِمَنْ شَآءَ مِنْكُمْ اَنْ یَّسْتَقِیْمَ ۟ؕ
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
وَمَا تَشَآءُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟۠
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
