The Overthrowing, The Cessation — Ahmed Hulusi Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Folding Up

إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

When the Sun is wrapped up (when the mind loses its power in the sight of the reality),

Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ

And the stars are darkened (thought processes cease – ideas shed no light),

Wa-itha alnnujoomu inkadarat

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

And the mountains are removed (the organs stop working),

Wa-itha aljibalu suyyirat

وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

And when the she-camels (objects of wealth and status) are neglected and (worldly values are) abandoned,

Wa-itha alAAisharu AAuttilat

وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

And when the beasts are gathered (animalistic senses lose their power),

Wa-itha alwuhooshu hushirat

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

And the seas begin to boil (information obtained via conditionings flame up and boil away in sight of the reality),

Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat

وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

And when the souls are paired (individual consciousnesses are paired with their new spirit bodies),

Wa-itha alnnufoosu zuwwijat

وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ

And the female infant who was buried alive is asked,

Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat

بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ

“For what sin she was killed?”

Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat

وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

And when the recorded pages are made public,

Wa-itha alssuhufu nushirat

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ

And the sky is ripped away (when the mind loses its reasoning power),

Wa-itha alssamao kushitat

وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ

And Hell is ignited and set ablaze (the fire of remorse is flared up),

Wa-itha aljaheemu suAAAAirat

وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

And Paradise is brought near,

Wa-itha aljannatu ozlifat

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ

Every soul (individual consciousness) will know what it has prepared (apprehend the consequences of his deeds during his life in the biological body).

AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ

I swear by ‘al-Hunnas’ (the stars that are not observable during the day due to sunlight),

Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ

And by al-Jawar and al-Qunnas (the planets that run their course and those that orbit near the constellations),

Aljawari alkunnasi

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

And by the night as it closes in,

Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the morning that you breathe in,

Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

Indeed, it is the word (conveyed by) a noble Rasul;

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

A powerful (Rasul)! Secure in the sight of the owner of the Throne!

Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

Obeyed there (in the heaven) and trustworthy.

MutaAAin thamma ameenin

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ

Your companion (Muhammad [saw]) is not possessed!

Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

Indeed, he observed him in the clear horizon!

Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

He does not withhold (the knowledge of) the unseen!

Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ

And it is not the word of Satan, the cursed (distanced from the reality)!

Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

So, where are you going (by leaving the Quran)?

Faayna tathhaboona

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

It is only a reminder to the worlds (humans)!

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

For those who want to live by the Truth!

Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

You cannot will unless Allah, the Rabb of the worlds, wills!

Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
