| 81:1 | | When the sun will be folded up |
| 81:2 | | and when the stars will swoop down |
| 81:3 | | and when the mountains will be set in motion |
| 81:4 | | and when the ten-months pregnant she-camels will be abandoned |
| 81:5 | | and when the wild beasts will be gathered together |
| 81:6 | | and when the seas will be flared up |
| 81:7 | | and when the people will be arranged in categories |
| 81:8 | | and when the girl-child that was buried alive will be asked |
| 81:9 | | for what sin she was killed |
| 81:10 | | and when the scrolls (of deeds) will be unrolled |
| 81:11 | | and when the sky will be stripped off |
| 81:12 | | and when the Hell will be set ablaze |
| 81:13 | | and when the Paradise will be brought close |
| 81:14 | | then everyone will know what he (or she) has put forward |
| 81:15 | | So, I swear by those (stars) that recede |
| 81:16 | | that proceed, that withdraw from the scene |
| 81:17 | | and by the night when it departs |
| 81:18 | | and the morning when it starts breathing |
| 81:19 | | it (the Qur‘an) is surely the word of a noble messenger (Jibra‘il X) |
| 81:20 | | the one possessing power and a high status with the Lord of the Throne |
| 81:21 | | the one obeyed there, trusted |
| 81:22 | | Your companion (Muhammad ) is not a madman |
| 81:23 | | and he did see him (Jibra‘il X) on the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | And he (the Prophet) is not stingy about (the news of) the unseen |
| 81:25 | | Nor is it the word of an outcast satan (devil) |
| 81:26 | | Then where are you going |
| 81:27 | | It is nothing else but a message of advice for all the worlds |
| 81:28 | | for the benefit of any one from among you who intends to go straight |
| 81:29 | | And you cannot intend (to do anything) unless it is so willed by Allah, the Lord of all the worlds |
