| | Dr. Munir Munshey rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun (and the solar system) is wrapped up |
| 81:2 | | And the stars are rendered dim and dusty |
| 81:3 | | And the mountains are (dislodged and) set in motion |
| 81:4 | | And the pregnant camel is left unattended (by its owner) |
| 81:5 | | And the beasts are herded up |
| 81:6 | | And oceans boil and brim over |
| 81:7 | | (That would be the day) when souls would rejoin their bodies |
| 81:8 | | And the infant girl who was buried alive, would be asked |
| 81:9 | | "What was her sin? Why was she killed?" |
| 81:10 | | When the record (of deeds) is laid open |
| 81:11 | | And the sky is stripped bare |
| 81:12 | | And the hellfire is set ablaze |
| 81:13 | | And the paradise is brought closer |
| 81:14 | | (That day), each soul shall learn what (deeds) it has brought along |
| 81:15 | | No, (I swear) by the planets |
| 81:16 | | And the stars that rise and set |
| 81:17 | | And the night as it departs |
| 81:18 | | And the dawn that breathes (anew) |
| 81:19 | | Of course, this (Qur´an) is really the word brought by the noble messenger _ (the angel, Gibrael) |
| 81:20 | | The one who has power and high rank with the Lord of the throne |
| 81:21 | | (The one who is) obeyed, and is furthermore, trustworthy |
| 81:22 | | (Oh people)! your companion is not crazy |
| 81:23 | | He most definitely saw (the angel, Gibrael) on the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | And he is not stingy about (disclosing the knowledge of) the unseen |
| 81:25 | | It is not the word of the cursed Shaitan |
| 81:26 | | So, where to, are you headed |
| 81:27 | | This is not anything other than the reminder for the entire world |
| 81:28 | | For every single one of you, anyone who wishes to walk upright along the straight path |
| 81:29 | | But the wishes of any of you do not matter, unless Allah, the Lord of the universe, wills it too |
