81. At-Takwir

1 When the sun is overthrown

2 And when the stars fall

3 And when the hills are moved

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together

6 And when the seas rise

7 And when souls are reunited

8 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

9 For what sin she was slain

10 And when the pages are laid open

11 And when the sky is torn away

12 And when hell is lighted

13 And when the Garden is brought nigh

14 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets

16 The stars which rise and set

17 And the close of night

18 And the breath of morning

19 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger

20 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy

22 And your comrade is not mad

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen

25 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned

26 Whither then go ye

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight

29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation
