| | Musharraf Hussain rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun is shrouded, |
| 81:2 | | when the stars are dimmed, |
| 81:3 | | when the mountains are moved, |
| 81:4 | | when pregnant camels are left untended, |
| 81:5 | | when wild beasts are gathered, |
| 81:6 | | when the seas boil, |
| 81:7 | | when the souls are paired, |
| 81:8 | | when the baby girl buried alive is asked |
| 81:9 | | for which crime she was murdered, |
| 81:10 | | when the scrolls of deeds are unrolled, |
| 81:11 | | and when a layer of the sky is peeled, |
| 81:12 | | when Hell is set ablaze, |
| 81:13 | | when Paradise is brought near – |
| 81:14 | | then everyone will know what they achieved or failed to achieve in life. |
| 81:15 | | So, I swear by the shining stars, |
| 81:16 | | by the dying stars, |
| 81:17 | | by the fall of the night, |
| 81:18 | | by the morning breeze. |
| 81:19 | | Certainly, the Quran is the recitation of a noble Angel, |
| 81:20 | | who possesses immense power, and has a firmly-established rank with the Possessor of the Divine Throne, |
| 81:21 | | who is obeyed by other angels and is trustworthy. |
| 81:22 | | Your companion isn’t mad; |
| 81:23 | | he saw him clearly on the horizon. |
| 81:24 | | He doesn’t hide the news of the Unseen. |
| 81:25 | | It isn’t the word of a rejected devil. |
| 81:26 | | So where are you going? |
| 81:27 | | It’s a reminder for all people, |
| 81:28 | | especially for the one who longs to be guided on the straight path. |
| 81:29 | | But how can you long for it unless Allah, the Lord of the worlds, so wills, to show you that way |
