    So I swear by the retreating stars -

16. 81:16

    ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ

    Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

17. 81:17

    And by the night as it closes in

18. 81:18

    And by the dawn when it breathes

19. 81:19

    إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

    [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

20. 81:20

    ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

    [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

21. 81:21

    مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

    Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

22. 81:22

    وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ

    And your companion is not [at all] mad.

23. 81:23

    وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

25. 81:25

    وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ

    And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

26. 81:26

    فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

    So where are you going?

27. 81:27

    إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ

    It is not except a reminder to the worlds
