| | Farook Malik rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun will cease to shine |
| 81:2 | | when the stars will loose their luster |
| 81:3 | | when the mountains will be blown away |
| 81:4 | | when the ten-month pregnant she-camels will be left unattended |
| 81:5 | | when the wild beasts will be brought together |
| 81:6 | | when the oceans will be set ablaze |
| 81:7 | | when the souls will be reunited with the bodies |
| 81:8 | | when the infant girls buried alive (here reference is made to the Pre-Islamic Arab custom of burying new born girls alive) will be questione |
| 81:9 | | for what sin she was killed |
| 81:10 | | when the record will be laid open |
| 81:11 | | when the heaven will be stripped bare |
| 81:12 | | when hell will be set to blaze |
| 81:13 | | and when the paradise will be brought near |
| 81:14 | | then each soul shall know what it has bought with it |
| 81:15 | | But no! I swear by the retreating stars |
| 81:16 | | that run their course and hide |
| 81:17 | | by the night as it dissipates |
| 81:18 | | by the morning when it breaths again |
| 81:19 | | surely this word (The Qur’an) is brought by a noble Messenger (Gabriel) |
| 81:20 | | possessor of mighty power, having very high rank with the Owner of the Throne (Allah) |
| 81:21 | | who is obeyed in heaven, and is trustworthy |
| 81:22 | | O people of Mecca! Your companion has not gone mad |
| 81:23 | | he (Muhammad) indeed saw him (Gabriel) in the clear horizo |
| 81:24 | | and he is not stingy to withhold the knowledge of the unseen |
| 81:25 | | This (Qur’an) is not the word of an accursed Satan |
| 81:26 | | Where then are you going |
| 81:27 | | This is but a Message to all the people of the world |
| 81:28 | | to each one who wishes to follow the Right Way |
| 81:29 | | Yet your wishes are of no avail unless Allah, the Lord of the worlds, pleases so |
