1. When the sun is shrouded in darkness,

2. And when the stars fall;

3. And when the mountains shall made to pass away;

4. And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected;

5. And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together;

6. And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire;

7. And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies;

8. And when the female (infant) buried alive shall be questioned.

9. For what sin she was killed?

10. And when the written pages of deeds of every person shall be laid open;

11. And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place;

12. And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to a fierce blaze.

13. And when Paradise shall be brought near,

14. (Then) every person will know what he has brought.

15. So verily, I swear by the planets that recede.

16. And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves,

17. And by the night as it departs;

18. And by the dawn as it brightens;

19. This is the speech of a noble messenger,

20. Who possesses great strength and is held in honour by the Lord of the Throne––

21. Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens).

22. And (O people) your companion (Muhammad) is not a madman;

23. And indeed he (Muhammad) saw him (Gabriel) in the clear horizon (towards the east).

24. And he (Muhammad) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen.

25. And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Satan.

26. Then where are you going?

27. Verily, this is a Reminder to the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).

28. To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight,

29. And you can not will, except what Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
