81:1
WHEN THE SUN is folded up
81:2
The stars turn dim and scatter
81:3
The mountains made to move
81:4
The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned
81:5
The wild beasts stampede on the run
81:6
When the oceans surge and swell
81:7
When souls are reunited (with the bodies
81:8
And the little girl buried alive is asked
81:9
For what crime she was put to death
81:10
When the ledgers are laid open
81:11
The curtain drawn back from the skies
81:12
When Hell is set ablaze
81:13
And Paradise brought near
81:14
(Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself)
81:15
So, I call the receding stars to witness
81:16
The planets withdrawing into themselves
81:17
The closing night
81:18
The rising dawn
81:19
That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger
81:20
Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne
81:21
Obeyed and worthy there of trust
81:22
Your companion is not mad
81:23
He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon
81:24
He is not chary of making public what is unknown
81:25
This is not the utterance of an accursed devil
81:26
So whither do you stray
81:27
This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world
81:28
For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight
81:29
Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds
