81:1
When the sun is rolled up,
81:2
and when the stars are dimmed,
81:3
and when the mountains are set in motion,
81:4
and when pregnant camels are abandoned,
81:5
and when the beasts are herded,
81:6
and when the oceans are set aflame,
81:7
and when the souls are paired,
81:8
and when the baby girl that was buried alive is asked
81:9
for what misdeed she was killed,
81:10
and when the scrolls are made public,
81:11
and when the sky is peeled away,
81:12
and when purgatory is set fully ablaze,
81:13
and when the Garden
(of Paradise)
is brought near—
81:14
each soul will know what it has brought forth.
81:15
So, no! I swear by those
(stars)
receding,
81:16
running, sweeping.
81:17
By the night as its darkness comes and goes.
81:18
By the morn as it breathes—
81:19
indeed, it is the word of a noble messenger,
81:20
endowed with power, eminent with the Lord of the Throne,
81:21
obeyed there and trustworthy.
81:22
Thus your
pl
fellow is not a madman,
81:23
for he most surely saw him on the evident horizon,
81:24
and he does not stingily withhold
(knowledge of)
the hidden realm,
81:25
and it is not the word of an outcast Satan.
81:26
So where are you
pl
going?
81:27
It is but a Reminder to
(all creatures of)
all realms,
81:28
to whomever of you who wills to be upright.
81:29
But you
pl
cannot will unless Allah, the Lord of all realms, wills.
