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. |
