at-Takwir (The Overthrowing, The Cessation) at IslamAwakened.com

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.
