The Overthrowing
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
And when the mountains are removed
And when full-term she-camels1 are neglected
And when the wild beasts are gathered
And when the seas are filled with flame1
And when the souls are paired1
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
For what sin she was killed
And when the pages1 are spread [i.e., made public]
And when the sky is stripped away
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
And when Paradise is brought near,
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].1
So I swear by the retreating stars -
Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]
And by the night as it closes in1
And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]
[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) ] is not [at all] mad.1
And he has already seen him [i.e., Gabriel] in the clear horizon.1
And he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.1
And it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
So where are you going?1
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
And you do not will except that Allāh wills - Lord of the worlds.
