When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
81:2
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
81:3
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
81:4
When the she−camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
81:5
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
81:6
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
81:7
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
81:8
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned −
81:9
For what crime she was killed; When the scrolls are laid open;
81:11
When the world on High is unveiled;
81:12
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
81:13
And when the Garden is brought near;−
81:14
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
81:15
So verily I call to witness the planets − that recede,
81:16
Go straight, or hide;
81:17
And the Night as it dissipates;
81:18
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;−
81:19
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
81:21
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
81:22
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
81:23
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
81:24
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
81:25
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
81:26
When whither go ye?
81:27
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
81:28
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
81:29
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,− the Cherisher of the Worlds. −− 081 : The Overthrowing −−
