The Overthrowing, The Cessation — Abdul Hye Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Folding Up

إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

When the sun will cease to shine (overthrown);

Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ

and when the stars will fall;

Wa-itha alnnujoomu inkadarat

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

and when the mountains will be moved away;

Wa-itha aljibalu suyyirat

وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

and when the pregnant she-camels will be neglected (unattended);

Wa-itha alAAisharu AAuttilat

وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

and when the wild beasts will be gathered together;

Wa-itha alwuhooshu hushirat

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

and when the seas will overflow (or set on fire);

Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat

وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

and when the souls will be joined (with their bodies);

Wa-itha alnnufoosu zuwwijat

وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ

and when the infant girl buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) will be questioned

Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat

بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ

for what sin she was killed;

Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat

وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

and when the written pages (record of deeds) will be laid open;

Wa-itha alssuhufu nushirat

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ

and when the heaven will be stripped off (taken away from its place);

Wa-itha alssamao kushitat

وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ

and when hellfire will be kindled to blaze (fierce heat);

Wa-itha aljaheemu suAAAAirat

وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

and when Paradise will be brought near;

Wa-itha aljannatu ozlifat

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ

then every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).

AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ

So surely, I swear by the planets that recede;

Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ

and that move swiftly and hide themselves;

Aljawari alkunnasi

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

and by the night as it departs;

Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

and by the dawn as it brightens;

Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

surely, this is the Word (this Qur’an) of a honorable Messenger (Gabriel from Allah to Muhammad),

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

possessor of mighty power, established (high rank) with the Owner of the Throne (Allah),

Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

obeyed (by the angels in the heaven), and trustworthy.

MutaAAin thamma ameenin

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ

(O people of Makkah) your companion (Muhammad) is not a mad man,

Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

and indeed he (Muhammad) saw him (Gabriel) in the clear horizon

Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

and he (Muhammad) does not withhold knowledge on the unseen.

Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ

And this (Qur’an) is not the word of the outcast Satan.

Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

Then where are you going?

Faayna tathhaboona

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

This (the Qur’an) is but a reminder to the people of the worlds,

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

to whoever among you who wishes to follow the Right Way.

Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Yet, you will not (avail your wishes) unless that Allah wills, the Lord of the worlds.

Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
