English - Chapter 81 - At-Takwir

WHEN the sun shall be FOLDED UP

And when the stars shall fall

And when the mountains shall be set in motion

And when the she-camels shall be abandoned

And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together

And when the seas shall boil

And when souls shall be paired with their bodies

And when the female child that had been buried alive shall be asked

And when the leaves of the Book shall be unrolled

And when the Heaven shall be stripped away

And when Hell shall be made to blaze

And when Paradise shall be brought near

Every soul shall know what it hath produced

It needs not that I swear by the stars of retrograde motions

Which move swiftly and hide themselves away

And by the night when it cometh darkening on

And by the dawn when it brighteneth

That this is the word of an illustrious Messenger

Endued with power, having influence with the Lord of the Throne

Obeyed there by Angels, faithful to his trust

And your compatriot is not one possessed by djinn

For he saw him in the clear horizon

Nor doth he grapple with heaven's secrets

Nor doth he teach the doctrine of a cursed Satan

Whither then are ye going

Verily, this is no other than a warning to all creatures

To him among you who willeth to walk in a straight path

But will it ye shall not, unless as God willeth it, the Lord of the worlds
