| | Abdul Hye rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun will cease to shine (overthrown); |
| 81:2 | | and when the stars will fall; |
| 81:3 | | and when the mountains will be moved away; |
| 81:4 | | and when the pregnant she-camels will be neglected (unattended); |
| 81:5 | | and when the wild beasts will be gathered together; |
| 81:6 | | and when the seas will overflow (or set on fire); |
| 81:7 | | and when the souls will be joined (with their bodies); |
| 81:8 | | and when the infant girl buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) will be questioned |
| 81:9 | | for what sin she was killed; |
| 81:10 | | and when the written pages (record of deeds) will be laid open; |
| 81:11 | | and when the heaven will be stripped off (taken away from its place); |
| 81:12 | | and when hellfire will be kindled to blaze (fierce heat); |
| 81:13 | | and when Paradise will be brought near; |
| 81:14 | | then every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). |
| 81:15 | | So surely, I swear by the planets that recede; |
| 81:16 | | and that move swiftly and hide themselves; |
| 81:17 | | and by the night as it departs; |
| 81:18 | | and by the dawn as it brightens; |
| 81:19 | | surely, this is the Word (this Qur’an) of a honorable Messenger (Gabriel from Allah to Muhammad), |
| 81:20 | | possessor of mighty power, established (high rank) with the Owner of the Throne (Allah), |
| 81:21 | | obeyed (by the angels in the heaven), and trustworthy. |
| 81:22 | | (O people of Makkah) your companion (Muhammad) is not a mad man, |
| 81:23 | | and indeed he (Muhammad) saw him (Gabriel) in the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | and he (Muhammad) does not withhold knowledge on the unseen. |
| 81:25 | | And this (Qur’an) is not the word of the outcast Satan. |
| 81:26 | | Then where are you going? |
| 81:27 | | This (the Qur’an) is but a reminder to the people of the worlds, |
| 81:28 | | to whoever among you who wishes to follow the Right Way. |
| 81:29 | | Yet, you will not (avail your wishes) unless that Allah wills, the Lord of the worlds. |
