| 1. * | 81 AT-TAKWIR - EXTINGUISHED In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful., When the sun will cease to shine;[1] |
| 2. * | when the stars will loose their luster;[2] |
| 3. * | when the mountains will be blown away;[3] |
| 4. * | when the ten-month pregnant she-camels will be left unattended;[4] |
| 5. * | when the wild beasts will be brought together;[5] |
| 6. * | when the oceans will be set ablaze;[6] |
| 7. * | when the souls will be reunited with the bodies;[7] |
| 8. * | when the infant girls buried alive (here reference is made to the Pre-Islamic Arab custom of burying new born girls alive) will be questioned[8] |
| 9. * | for what sin she was killed;[9] |
| 10. * | when the record will be laid open;[10] |
| 11. * | when the heaven will be stripped bare;[11] |
| 12. * | when hell will be set to blaze,[12] |
| 13. * | and when the paradise will be brought near:[13] |
| 14. * | then each soul shall know what it has bought with it.[14] |
| 15. * | But no! I swear by the retreating stars;[15] |
| 16. * | that run their course and hide;[16] |
| 17. * | by the night as it dissipates;[17] |
| 18. * | by the morning when it breaths again:[18] |
| 19. * | surely this word (The Qur’an) is brought by a noble Messenger (Gabriel),[19] |
| 20. * | possessor of mighty power, having very high rank with the Owner of the Throne (Allah),[20] |
| 21. * | who is obeyed in heaven, and is trustworthy.[21] |
| 22. * | O people of Mecca! Your companion has not gone mad;[22] |
| 23. * | he (Muhammad) indeed saw him (Gabriel) in the clear horizon[23] |
| 24. * | and he is not stingy to withhold the knowledge of the unseen.[24] |
| 25. * | This (Qur’an) is not the word of an accursed Satan.[25] |
| 26. * | Where then are you going?[26] |
| 27. * | This is but a Message to all the people of the world,[27] |
| 28. * | to each one who wishes to follow the Right Way.[28] |
| 29. * | Yet your wishes are of no avail unless Allah, the Lord of the worlds, pleases so.[29] |
