| | Ahmed Hulusi rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the Sun is wrapped up (when the mind loses its power in the sight of the reality), |
| 81:2 | | And the stars are darkened (thought processes cease – ideas shed no light), |
| 81:3 | | And the mountains are removed (the organs stop working), |
| 81:4 | | And when the she-camels (objects of wealth and status) are neglected and (worldly values are) abandoned, |
| 81:5 | | And when the beasts are gathered (animalistic senses lose their power), |
| 81:6 | | And the seas begin to boil (information obtained via conditionings flame up and boil away in sight of the reality), |
| 81:7 | | And when the souls are paired (individual consciousnesses are paired with their new spirit bodies), |
| 81:8 | | And the female infant who was buried alive is asked, |
| 81:9 | | “For what sin she was killed?” |
| 81:10 | | And when the recorded pages are made public, |
| 81:11 | | And the sky is ripped away (when the mind loses its reasoning power), |
| 81:12 | | And Hell is ignited and set ablaze (the fire of remorse is flared up), |
| 81:13 | | And Paradise is brought near, |
| 81:14 | | Every soul (individual consciousness) will know what it has prepared (apprehend the consequences of his deeds during his life in the biological body). |
| 81:15 | | I swear by ‘al-Hunnas’ (the stars that are not observable during the day due to sunlight), |
| 81:16 | | And by al-Jawar and al-Qunnas (the planets that run their course and those that orbit near the constellations), |
| 81:17 | | And by the night as it closes in, |
| 81:18 | | And by the morning that you breathe in, |
| 81:19 | | Indeed, it is the word (conveyed by) a noble Rasul; |
| 81:20 | | A powerful (Rasul)! Secure in the sight of the owner of the Throne! |
| 81:21 | | Obeyed there (in the heaven) and trustworthy. |
| 81:22 | | Your companion (Muhammad [saw]) is not possessed! |
| 81:23 | | Indeed, he observed him in the clear horizon! |
| 81:24 | | He does not withhold (the knowledge of) the unseen! |
| 81:25 | | And it is not the word of Satan, the cursed (distanced from the reality)! |
| 81:26 | | So, where are you going (by leaving the Quran)? |
| 81:27 | | It is only a reminder to the worlds (humans)! |
| 81:28 | | For those who want to live by the Truth! |
| 81:29 | | You cannot will unless Allah, the Rabb of the worlds, wills! |
