English - Chapter 81 - At-Takwir

When the sun has been extinguished

when the stars slip out of place

when the mountains travel along

when ten-month pregnant camels are neglected

when wild beasts are herded together

when the seas overflow

when souls are reunited

when the buried girl is asked

for what offence she has been killed

when scriptures are unrolled

when the sky is stripped bare

when the Garden is brought close

each soul shall know what it has prepared

So I swear by the planets

moving, sweeping along

and night as it draws on

and morn when it breathes again

it is a statement by a generous messenger

possessing strength established by the One Enthroned

Who is to be Obeyed and more than that is Trustworthy

Your companion is not crazy

He saw him on the clear horizon

nor was he grudging about the Unseen

Nor is it a statement [made] by some outcast Satan

So where are you (all) heading for

It is merely a Reminder to [everyone in] the Universe

So anyone of you who wishes may go straight

Yet you will only wish whatever God, Lord of the Universe, may wish
