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.
Isha
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
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.
