81:1
When the sun is wrapped up
81:2
And when the stars are dulled.
81:3
And the mountains are moved away
81:4
And the ten-month pregnant camels are left neglected
81:5
And when the wild beasts are assembled together
81:6
And when the seas are made to spill
81:7
And when the souls are [severally] paired [with their deeds]
81:8
And when the infant buried alive, is asked
81:9
for which trespass was she slain.
81:10
And when the scrolls are laid open—
81:11
And when the sky is peeled away
81:12
And when the
Jaḥīm is set ablaze
81:13
And when the Garden is brought near
81:14
Every soul will know what it had presented.
81:15
So, Nay!
I swear by the elusive ones—
81:16
the fleeting, the veiled,
81:17
And by the night when it darkens—
81:18
And by the dawn when it unfolds
81:19
Verily, it assuredly is the [faithfully delivered] word of a noble messenger,
81:20
endowed with power, secure of status with the Owner of the Throne.
81:21
one obeyed there, trustworthy.
81:22
And your fellow man [i.e., the Prophet] is not possessed
81:23
He did indeed see him [i.e., Angel Gabriel] in the open horizon.
81:24
And he is not anywise holding back [knowledge] about the unseeable realm.
81:25
And not is it the word of Satan, the outcast.
81:26
So then where are you going?
81:27
It is nothing but a reminder for all realms—
81:28
for whoever among you wills that he stays aright.
81:29
And you do not will, except that Allah, the
Rabb of all realms, wills.
