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 Allah wills, - the Cherisher of the Worlds.
