IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah at-Takwir - The Overthrowing, The Cessation as rendered by Dr. Kamal Omar
81:1
When the sun is
Kuwwirat
(wrapped up as a round body)
81:2
and when the stars lost the light and lustre
81:3
and when the mountains are made to move
81:4
and when the she camels, ten-months’ pregnant are abandoned
81:5
and when the beasts are gathered together (in fear)
81:6
and when the seas are made to flow forth (one into the other)
81:7
and when the
Nufus
(this is a plural of
Nafs
) are united (i.e., the body and soul are again united)
81:8
and when the female (infant) buried alive is asked —
81:9
for what sin she has been killed
81:10
And when the files (or the records of deeds) are laid open
81:11
and when the heaven is stripped off
81:12
and when the Hell-Fire is put to full blaze
81:13
and when the Paradise is brought closeby
81:14
(then and there) a
Nafs
has come to know what has she brought (as her concepts, beliefs and deeds)
81:15
Then, nay! I bring to witness (the heavenly bodies) that disappear and hide themselves (during the day)
81:16
who are in swift motion, (yet are those) who remain hidden from view
81:17
and the night when it departed
81:18
and the day when it started (its) breath
81:19
(that) undoubtedly it is indeed a Statement coming via an honoured messenger (to His
Abd
)
81:20
(This emissary is) possessor of power and authority. (This arch-Angel, Jibriel is) stationed close to the Owner of the Throne (i.e., Allah)
81:21
(He is one) who is obeyed and paid allegiance; moreover he is trustworthy (spirit)
81:22
And your companion (who is propagating the Message of God to you is) not a fanatic
81:23
And surely, indeed he has seen him (i.e., the arch-angel) on the clear eastern horizon
81:24
And he is not who keeps something hidden regarding
Al-ghaib
(the unseen)
81:25
And it is not a statement from Satan, the rejected and expelled
81:26
Then where do you go? (Do you reject
Al-Kitab
and seek illegitimate source for Religious knowledge)
81:27
This is not but
Zikrun-lil-Alamin
(‘A Message unto the worlds’)
81:28
for whomsoever desired amongst you that he may set (himself) in permanence
81:29
And you people desire not except that Allah (so) desires; (He is) Nourisher-Sustainer to the worlds
