81. At-Takwir سُورَةُ التَّكۡوِيرِ

Yusuf AliWhen the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up

Yusuf AliWhen the stars fall, losing their lustre

Yusuf AliWhen the mountains vanish (like a mirage)

Yusuf AliWhen the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended

Yusuf AliWhen the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations)

Yusuf AliWhen the oceans boil over with a swell

Yusuf AliWhen the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like)

Yusuf AliWhen the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned

Yusuf AliFor what crime she was killed

Yusuf AliWhen the scrolls are laid open

Yusuf AliWhen the world on High is unveiled

Yusuf AliWhen the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat

Yusuf AliAnd when the Garden is brought near

Yusuf Ali(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward

Yusuf AliSo verily I call to witness the planets - that recede

Yusuf AliGo straight, or hide

Yusuf AliAnd the Night as it dissipates

Yusuf AliAnd the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness

Yusuf AliVerily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger

Yusuf AliEndued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne

Yusuf AliWith authority there, (and) faithful to his trust

Yusuf AliAnd (O people!) your companion is not one possessed

Yusuf AliAnd without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon

Yusuf AliNeither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen

Yusuf AliNor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed

Yusuf AliWhen whither go ye

Yusuf AliVerily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds

Yusuf Ali(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight

Yusuf AliBut ye shall not will except as God wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds
