The Overthrowing · Surah 81

When the sun is overthrown

And when the stars fall

And when the hills are moved

And when the camels big with young are abandoned

And when the wild beasts are herded together

And when the seas rise

And when souls are reunited

And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

For what sin she was slain

And when the pages are laid open

And when the sky is torn away

And when hell is lighted

And when the Garden is brought nigh

(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready

Oh, but I call to witness the planets

The stars which rise and set

And the close of night

And the breath of morning

That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger

Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne

(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy

And your comrade is not mad

Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon

And he is not avid of the Unseen

Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned

Whither then go ye

This is naught else than a reminder unto creation

Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight

And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation
