At-Takwir

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ

(11) And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ

(12) And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

(13) And when Paradise is brought near,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ

(14) A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].[1869]

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ

(15) So I swear by the retreating stars -

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ

(16) Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

(17) And by the night as it closes in[1870]

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

(18) And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

(19) [That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

(20) [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
