| | Maududi rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun shall be folded up |
| 81:2 | | when the stars shall scatter away |
| 81:3 | | when the mountains shall be set in motion |
| 81:4 | | when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned |
| 81:5 | | when the savage beasts shall be brought together |
| 81:6 | | when the seas shall be set boiling |
| 81:7 | | when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies) |
| 81:8 | | and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked |
| 81:9 | | for what offence was she killed |
| 81:10 | | and when the scrolls of (men´s) deeds shall be unfolded |
| 81:11 | | and when Heaven is laid bare |
| 81:12 | | and Hell is stoked |
| 81:13 | | and Paradise brought nigh |
| 81:14 | | then shall each person know what he has brought along |
| 81:15 | | No indeed; I swear by the alternating star |
| 81:16 | | that hide |
| 81:17 | | and by the night as it recedes |
| 81:18 | | and the morn as it breathes |
| 81:19 | | Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer |
| 81:20 | | one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne |
| 81:21 | | there he is obeyed and held trustworthy |
| 81:22 | | (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad |
| 81:23 | | he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen |
| 81:25 | | nor is it a word of an accursed Satan |
| 81:26 | | Where to are you then heading |
| 81:27 | | It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world |
| 81:28 | | for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way |
| 81:29 | | but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes |
