In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. I swear by the mansions of the stars,

3. And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne.
4. Cursed be the makers of the pit,
S. Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
2. And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
3. The star of piercing brightness;
4. There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
5. So let man consider of what he is created:
6. He is created of water pouring forth,
7. Coming from between the back and the ribs.
8. Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
9. On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
10. He shall have neither strength nor helper.
11. I swear by the raingiving heavens,
12. And the earth splitting (with plants);
13. Most surely it is a decisive word,

4. And Who brings forth herbage,
S. Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.
6. We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
7. Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
8. And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
9. Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
10. He who fears will mind,
11. And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
12. Who shall enter the great fire;
13. Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
14. He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,
15. And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

3. Laboring, toiling,
4. Entering into burning fire,
5. Made to drink from a boiling spring.
6. They shall have no food but of thorns,

14. And drinking-cups ready placed,
15. And cushions set in a row,
16. And carpets spread out.
17. Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?
18. And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,
19. And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,
20. And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?
21. Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.
22. You are not a watcher over them;
23. But whoever turns back and disbelieves,
24. Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
25. Surely to Us is their turning back,
26. Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.
