    Read the passage · At-Takwir

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ١

    When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

    وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ٢

    And when the stars fall, dispersing,

    وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ٣

    And when the mountains are removed

    وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ٤

    And when full-term she-camels are neglected

    وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ٥

    And when the wild beasts are gathered

    وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ٦

    And when the seas are filled with flame

    وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ٧

    And when the souls are paired

    وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ٨

    And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

    بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ٩

    For what sin she was killed

    وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ١٠

    And when the pages are made public

    وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ١١

    And when the sky is stripped away

    وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ١٢

    And when Hellfire is set ablaze

    وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ١٣

    And when Paradise is brought near,

    عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ١٤

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

    فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ١٥

    So I swear by the retreating stars -

    ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ١٦

    Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

    وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ١٧

    And by the night as it closes in

    وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ١٨

    And by the dawn when it breathes

    إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ١٩

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

    ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ٢٠

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

    مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ٢١

    Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

    وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ٢٢

    And your companion is not [at all] mad.

    وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ٢٣

    And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

    وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ٢٤

    And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

    وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ٢٥

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

    فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ٢٦

    So where are you going?

    إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ٢٧

    It is not except a reminder to the worlds

    لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ٢٨

    For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

    وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ٢٩

    And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ١

    I swear by this city, Makkah -

    وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ٢

    And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -

    وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ٣

    And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

    لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ٤

    We have certainly created man into hardship.

    أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ٥

    Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

    يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا٦

    He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

    أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ٧

    Does he think that no one has seen him?

    أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ٨

    Have We not made for him two eyes?

    وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ٩

    And a tongue and two lips?

    وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ١٠

    And have shown him the two ways?

    فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ١١

    But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

    وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ١٢

    And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?

    فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ١٣

    It is the freeing of a slave

    أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ١٤

    Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

    يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ١٥

    An orphan of near relationship

    أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ١٦

    Or a needy person in misery

    ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ١٧

    And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.

    أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ١٨

    Those are the companions of the right.

    وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ١٩

    But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.

    عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ٢٠

    Over them will be fire closed in.

    No recitation recorded for this prayer.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently. The live tracker's ayat begin on 25 September 2026; for earlier days this page shows the Haramain library's records.

Look up a day

Hijri date

Where this comes from

Each prayer's imam, passage and recording are listed by the Haramain library, Tilawat al-Haramain (tilawatalharamain.com), usually within a few hours of the prayer. Its titles are written by hand; Hasanah reads the surahs and ayat from them.

The ayat by rak'ah come from Hasanah's live tracker, which listens to the Quran channel's broadcast from the Haram and names each ayah as it is recited. It has kept them since 25 September 2026. It can miss an ayah or mishear one, so a passage it heard may be a little shorter or longer than the one recited.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently, so there is no recitation to show for them. Times are calculated for Makkah by the Umm al-Qura method.
