English - Chapter 81 - At-Takwir

When the sun is shrouded in darkness

when the stars are dimmed

when the mountains are set in motion

when pregnant camels are abandoned

when wild beasts are herded together

when the seas boil over

when souls are sorted into classes

when the baby girl buried alive is asked

for what sin she was killed

when the records of deeds are spread open

when the sky is stripped away

when Hell is made to blaze

and Paradise brought near

then every soul will know what it has brought about

I swear by the planets

that recede, move, and hide

by the night that descends

by the dawn that softly breathes

this is the speech of a noble messenger

who possesses great strength and is held in honour by the Lord of the Throne––

he is obeyed there and worthy of trust

Your companion is not mad

he did see him on the clear horizon

He does not withhold what is revealed to him from beyond

This is not the word of an outcast devil

So where are you [people] going

This is a message for all people

for those who wish to take the straight path

But you will only wish to do so by the will of God, the Lord of all people
