081 : The Overthrowing

81:1

 

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 −−
