81. THE OVERTHROWING
EXTINGUISHED! WRAPPING THINGS UP
Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 29 verses.
In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
81:1 | When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; |
81:2 | When the stars fall, losing their lustre; |
81:3 | When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); |
81:4 | When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; |
81:5 | When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); |
81:6 | When the oceans boil over with a swell; |
81:7 | When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); |
81:8 | When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - |
81:9 | For what crime she was killed; |
81:10 | When the scrolls are laid open; |
81:11 | When the world on High is unveiled; |
81:12 | When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; |
81:13 | And when the Garden is brought near;- |
81:14 | (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. |
81:15 | So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, |
81:16 | Go straight, or hide; |
81:17 | And the Night as it dissipates; |
81:18 | And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- |
81:19 | Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, |
81:20 | Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, |
81:21 | With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. |
81:22 | And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; |
81:23 | And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. |
81:24 | Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. |
81:25 | Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. |
81:26 | When whither go ye? |
81:27 | Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: |
81:28 | (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: |
81:29 | But ye shall not will except as God wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. |
