English - Chapter 81 - At-Takwir

When the sun shall be folded up

and when the stars shall fall

and when the mountains shall be made to pass away

and when the wild beasts shall be gathered together

and when the seas shall boil

and when the souls shall be joined again to their bodies

and when the girl who hath been buried alive shall be asked

for what crime she was put to death

and when the books shall be laid open

and when the heaven shall be removed

and when hell shall burn fiercely

and when paradise shall be brought near

Every soul shall know what it hath wrought

Verily I swear by the stars which are retrograde

which move swiftly, and which hide themselves

and by the night, when it cometh on

and by the morning, when it appeareth

that these are the words of an honourable messenger

endued with strengeth, of established dignity in the sight of the possessor of the throne

obeyed by the angels under his authority, and faithful

And your companion Mohammed is not distracted

He had already seen him in the clear horizon

And he suspected not the secrets revealed unto him

Neither are these the words of an accursed devil

Whither, therefore, are ye going

This is no other than an admonition unto all creatures

unto him among you who shall be willing to walk uprightly

But ye shall not will, unless God willeth, the Lord of all creatures
