Asad, Surah 81: The Overthrowing (At-Takwir)

Surahs

[1] WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness,

[2] and when the stars lose their light,

[3] and when the mountains are made to vanish,

[4] and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended,

[5] and when all beasts are gathered together,

[6] and when the seas boil over,

[7] and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds],

[8] and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask

[9] for what crime she had been slain,

[10] and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded,

[11] and when heaven is laid bare,

[12] and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright,

[13] and when paradise is brought into view:

[14] [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself].

[15] BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars,

[16] the planets that run their course and set,

[17] and the night as it darkly falls,

[18] and the morn as it softly breathes:

[19] behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle,

[20] with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned

[21] [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust!

[22] For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman:

[23] he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon;

[24] and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception.

[25] Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed.

[26] Whither, then, will you go?

[27] This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind –

[28] to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way.

[29] But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way].
