(81:1) When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] (81:2) And when the stars fall, dispersing, (81:3) And when the mountains are removed (81:4) And when full-term she-camels are neglected (81:5) And when the wild beasts are gathered (81:6) And when the seas are filled with flame (81:7) And when the souls are paired (81:8) And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked (81:9) For what sin she was killed (81:10) And when the pages are made public (81:11) And when the sky is stripped away (81:12) And when Hellfire is set ablaze (81:13) And when Paradise is brought near, (81:14) A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. (81:15) So I swear by the retreating stars - (81:16) Those that run [their courses] and disappear - (81:17) And by the night as it closes in (81:18) And by the dawn when it breathes (81:19) [That] indeed, the Qur`an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger (81:20) [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], (81:21) Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. (81:22) And your companion is not [at all] mad. (81:23) And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. (81:24) And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
