Surah The Overthrowing [At-Takwir] Ayah 29 Location Maccah Number 81

When the sun is wrapped up in darkness,

and when the mountains are set in motion,

and when pregnant camels[1] are left unattended,

and when the baby girl buried alive[3] is asked,

and when records of deeds are spread open,

then every soul will know what it has brought about[5].

Indeed, this [Qur’an] is a word conveyed by a noble angel-messenger.

extremely powerful, highly revered by the Lord of the Throne,

obeyed there [by other angels] and trustworthy.

Your fellow [i.e., the Prophet] is not a madman.

He indeed saw him [i.e., Gabriel] on the clear horizon[7].

He does not withhold [knowledge of] the unseen[8].

This [Qur’an] is not the word of an accursed devil.

for those among you who wish to take the straight path.
