Sorah At-Takwir ( The Overthrowing ) - Verses Number 29
إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ( 1 ) 
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ ( 2 )
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ( 3 )
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ( 4 )
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ( 5 )
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ( 6 )
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ( 7 )
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ ( 8 )
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ ( 9 )
For what crime she was killed;
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ( 10 )
When the scrolls are laid open;
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ ( 11 )
When the world on High is unveiled;
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ( 12 )
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ( 13 )
And when the Garden is brought near;-
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ ( 14 )
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ ( 15 )
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ ( 16 )
Go straight, or hide;
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ( 17 )
And the Night as it dissipates;
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ( 18 )
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ( 19 )
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ( 20 )
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ( 21 )
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ ( 22 )
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ ( 23 )
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ( 24 )
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ ( 25 )
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ( 26 )
When whither go ye?
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ( 27 )
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ( 28 )
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( 29 )
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.

- Hell - A Vision from withinA very important series begins on the list today, concerned with the subject of al-Jannah and an-Naar - the Paradise and the Hell-Fire. One of these two will be the end destination; moreover the eternal abode, for each and every one of us. Therefore it is crucial for us to reflect on what Allah has prepared for mankind - for those who are obedient and recognise His favours, and for those who reject His sins and rebel against Him.

- The World of the Jinn and DevilsIn the work before you, Dr. Umar Al-Ashqar, a well-known contemporary scholar of Islam, has attempted to tackle two important topics. The first topic is that of the characteristics of the jinn. This is a difficult topic for many reasons. One of them is that the devils are known to be liars. Thus, even when a person does encounter them, he cannot put much trust in what they claim about themselves. Therefore, one must virtually rely only on the statements of the Quran and the authentic hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The second topic is the characteristics and methodology of Satan himself. It is no coincidence that Allah has mentioned Satan, his goals, his plots and his allies throughout the entire Quran. This is because Satan is man’s greatest enemy. The believer must know the key to defending himself from Satan.

- Your Day in RamadanThis is a useful book talks about how a fasting Muslim should spend his day in Ramadan. This is regarding deeds by which he abides during his day. No doubt he should be eager to instill the good morals into himself while performing this great rite. He should not forget to ask Allah when he breaks his fasting, for Allah promised that he answers the fasting Muslim’s invocation when he breaks his fast. He should remember that it is highly recommended to perform Qiyam (supererogatory prayers at night) to get his sins forgiven.
