سورة At-Takwir ( The Overthrowing )
سورة At-Takwir ( The Overthrowing ) - English - Rowwad Translation Center عدد الآيات 29
When the sun is wrapped up in darkness,
and when the stars fall down,
and when the mountains are set in motion,
and when pregnant camels[1] are left unattended,
and when wild beasts are gathered,
and when the seas are set on fire,
and when the souls are sorted[2],
and when the baby girl buried alive[3] is asked,
for what crime she was killed,
and when records of deeds are spread open,
and when the sky is stripped away[4],
and when the Blazing Fire is flared up,
and when Paradise is brought near –
then every soul will know what it has brought about[5].
I swear by the receding stars,
and by the night as it departs,
and by the day as it breaks –
Indeed, this [Qur’an] is a word conveyed by a noble angel-messenger.
extremely powerful, highly revered by the Lord of the Throne,
obeyed there [by other angels] and trustworthy.
Your fellow [i.e., the Prophet] is not a madman.
He indeed saw him [i.e., Gabriel] on the clear horizon[7].
He does not withhold [knowledge of] the unseen[8].
This [Qur’an] is not the word of an accursed devil.
So which way are you going[9]?
It is but a reminder to the worlds,
for those among you who wish to take the straight path.
But you cannot wish except by the Will of Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
