| | Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up |
| 81:2 | | When the stars fall, losing their lustre |
| 81:3 | | When the mountains vanish (like a mirage) |
| 81:4 | | When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended |
| 81:5 | | When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations) |
| 81:6 | | When the oceans boil over with a swell |
| 81:7 | | When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like) |
| 81:8 | | When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned |
| 81:9 | | For what crime she was killed |
| 81:10 | | When the scrolls are laid open |
| 81:11 | | When the world on High is unveiled |
| 81:12 | | When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat |
| 81:13 | | And when the Garden is brought near; |
| 81:14 | | (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward |
| 81:15 | | So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede |
| 81:16 | | Go straight, or hide |
| 81:17 | | And the Night as it dissipates |
| 81:18 | | And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness; |
| 81:19 | | Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger |
| 81:20 | | Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne |
| 81:21 | | With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust |
| 81:22 | | And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed |
| 81:23 | | And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen |
| 81:25 | | Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed |
| 81:26 | | When whither go ye |
| 81:27 | | Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds |
| 81:28 | | (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight |
| 81:29 | | But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds |
