| | Abdel Haleem rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun is shrouded in darkness |
| 81:2 | | when the stars are dimmed |
| 81:3 | | when the mountains are set in motion |
| 81:4 | | when pregnant camels are abandoned |
| 81:5 | | when wild beasts are herded together |
| 81:6 | | when the seas boil over |
| 81:7 | | when souls are sorted into classes |
| 81:8 | | when the baby girl buried alive is aske |
| 81:9 | | for what sin she was killed |
| 81:10 | | when the records of deeds are spread open |
| 81:11 | | when the sky is stripped away |
| 81:12 | | when Hell is made to blaz |
| 81:13 | | and Paradise brought near |
| 81:14 | | then every soul will know what it has brought about |
| 81:15 | | I swear by the planet |
| 81:16 | | that recede, move, and hide |
| 81:17 | | by the night that descends |
| 81:18 | | by the dawn that softly breathes |
| 81:19 | | this is the speech of a noble messenger |
| 81:20 | | who possesses great strength and is held in honour by the Lord of the Throne–&ndash |
| 81:21 | | he is obeyed there and worthy of trust |
| 81:22 | | Your companion is not mad |
| 81:23 | | he did see him on the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | He does not withhold what is revealed to him from beyond |
| 81:25 | | This is not the word of an outcast devil |
| 81:26 | | So where are you [people] going |
| 81:27 | | This is a message for all people |
| 81:28 | | for those who wish to take the straight path |
| 81:29 | | But you will only wish to do so by the will of God, the Lord of all people |
