| 1. * | When the sun shall be folded up; |
| 2. * | and when the stars shall fall; |
| 3. * | and when the mountains shall be made to pass away; |
| 4. * | and when the camels ten months gone with young shall be neglected; |
| 5. * | and when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; |
| 6. * | and when the seas shall boil; |
| 7. * | and when the souls shall be joined again to their bodies; |
| 8. * | and when the girl who hath been buried alive shall be asked |
| 9. * | for what crime she was put to death; |
| 10. * | and when the books shall be laid open; |
| 11. * | and when the heaven shall be removed; |
| 12. * | and when hell shall burn fiercely; |
| 13. * | and when paradise shall be brought near: |
| 14. * | Every soul shall know what it hath wrought. |

| 19. * | that these are the words of an honourable messenger, |
| 20. * | endued with strengeth, of established dignity in the sight of the possessor of the throne, |
| 21. * | obeyed by the angels under his authority, and faithful: |
| 22. * | And your companion Mohammed is not distracted. |
| 23. * | He had already seen him in the clear horizon: |
| 24. * | And he suspected not the secrets revealed unto him. |
| 25. * | Neither are these the words of an accursed devil. |
| 26. * | Whither, therefore, are ye going? |
| 27. * | This is no other than an admonition unto all creatures; |
| 28. * | unto him among you who shall be willing to walk uprightly: |
| 29. * | But ye shall not will, unless God willeth, the Lord of all creatures. |
