81. At-Takwir - The Overthrowing
1 | When the sunlight is rolled up. |
2 | And when the stars fall down. |
3 | And when the mountains are driven. |
4 | And when milch camels roam abandoned. |
5 | And when wild animals are herded together. |
6 | And when the seas are set afire. |
7 | And when the souls are paired. |
8 | And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. |
9 | Upon what sin was she killed for. |
10 | And when the Records of Account are laid bare. |
11 | And when the heaven is torn away. |
12 | And when hell is further enflamed. |
13 | And when Paradise is brought near. |
14 | Every soul will then come know what it has brought. |
15 | So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) |
16 | Who move straight and stop. |
17 | And by oath of the night when it turns back. |
18 | And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. |
19 | This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) |
20 | The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. |
21 | The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). |
22 | And your companion is not insane. |
23 | And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). |
24 | And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) |
25 | And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. |
26 | So where are you going? |
27 | That is but an advice to the entire creation! |
28 | For the one among you who wishes to become upright. |
29 | And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. |
