English - Chapter 81 - At-Takwir

When the sun is overthrown (or folded up)

And when the stars darken

And when the mountains pass away

And when the wild beasts are herded together

And when the seas swell and boil

And when souls are sorted and reunited

And when the female infant buried alive is asked

For what sin she was killed

And when the Record Books are spread open

And when the heavens are unveiled

And when Hell is kindled up

And when the Garden is brought nigh

Every soul shall then know what it has prepared

But nay! I swear by (or call to witness) the Planets

That run their course and hide themselves

And the Night when it departs

And the Dawn when it breaths away the darkness

Most surely it is the Word of an honourable Messenger

The possessor of power and high rank with the Lord of the Throne

One to be obeyed, and faithful to his trust

And your companion is not one possessed (or mad)

And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon

Nor is he a tenacious concealer of the unseen

Nor is it the word of the cursed Satan

Whither then will you go

It is naught but a reminder unto all creation (or all the worlds)

For him among you who wills to go straight

And you will not, unless Allah wills, the Lord (or Cherisher) of Creation (or all the Worlds)
