وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ
And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place;
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ
And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze.
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ
And when Paradise shall be brought near,
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ
(Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ
So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).
ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ
And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ
And by the night as it departs;
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And by the dawn as it brightens;
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ
Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)].
