Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat at-Takwīr is about
Sūrat at-Takwīr has 29 āyāt in the thirtieth juzʼ. It opens with the sun wrapped up and its light gone, which gives the sūrah its name, then the stars falling, the mountains moved and the seas set ablaze (81:1–6). The girl buried alive will be asked for what sin she was killed (81:8–9), and every soul will know what it has brought (81:14).
The sūrah then swears by the stars that withdraw, the night as it departs and the morning as it breathes, that this is the word of a noble messenger, trusted and obeyed (81:15–21). The Prophet is not mad, and he saw him on the clear horizon (81:22–23). It ends: it is a reminder to the worlds, and you will only if Allah wills (81:27–29).
- Āyāt 1–14
When the sun is wrapped up
When the sun is wrapped up, the stars fall, the mountains are moved, the pregnant camels left untended, the wild beasts gathered and the seas set ablaze, when the buried girl is asked for what sin she was killed, the records spread open and the Garden brought near, every soul will know what it has brought (81:14).
- Āyāt 15–29
The word of a noble messenger
By the stars that withdraw, the departing night and the breathing morning, this is the word of a noble messenger, strong and trusted with the Lord of the Throne (81:19–21). The Prophet is not mad; he saw him on the clear horizon. This is not the word of a cursed devil (81:25). It is a reminder for whoever wills to go straight (81:27–28).
