English - Chapter 81 - At-Takwir

When the sun is folded up

And when the stars lose their lustre

And when the mountains are moved

And when the ten-months pregnant camels are abandoned

And when the wild beasts are gathered

And when the seas overflow

And when the souls are rejoined (with their bodies)

And when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked

For what sin was she killed

And when the scrolls [of human deeds] are laid open

And the Hell stoked

And the Paradise brought near

Every person comes to know what he has brought along

No! [The misgivings of the people that do not believe in these revelations are not correct, and] I swear by the stars

That retreat and hide

And by the night as it moves

And the morning as it breathes

This is indeed the word of a noble [Angel] Messenger

A mighty One with the Lord of the Throne

One to be obeyed besides being trustworthy

And your companion [Prophet Muhammad] is not mad

And he did certainly see the Angel Messenger on the clear horizon

And he [Prophet] does not grudge (conveying what has been revealed to him) of the Unseen

And it is not a word of accursed Satan

Where then are you going

This is nothing but Good Counsel for the worlds

For any of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way

And you wish not unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes
