    And when Paradise is brought near,

14. 14عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسࣱ مَّاۤ أَحۡضَرَتۡ

    A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

    And by the night as it closes in

18. 18وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

    And by the dawn when it breathes

19. 19إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِيمࣲ

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

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

21. 21مُّطَاعࣲ ثَمَّ أَمِينࣲ

    Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

22. 22وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونࣲ

    And your companion is not [at all] mad.

23. 23وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ

    And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

24. 24وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينࣲ

    So where are you going?

27. 27إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
