81: The Overthrowing
|
|
81:1
When the sun is overthrown, |
|
81:2
And when the stars fall, |
Some day the stars will fall.
|
81:3
And when the hills are moved, |
|
81:4
And when the camels big with young are abandoned, |
|
81:5
And when the wild beasts are herded together, |
|
81:6
And when the seas rise, |
|
81:7
And when souls are reunited, |
|
81:8
And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked |
|
81:9
For what sin she was slain, |
|
81:10
And when the pages are laid open, |
|
81:11
And when the sky is torn away, |
|
81:12
And when hell is lighted, |
|
81:13
And when the Garden is brought nigh, |
|
81:14
(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. |
|
81:15
Oh, but I call to witness the planets, |
|
81:16
The stars which rise and set, |
|
81:17
And the close of night, |
|
81:18
And the breath of morning |
|
81:19
That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, |
|
81:20
Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, |
|
81:21
(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; |
|
81:22
And your comrade is not mad. |
(81:22) "Your comrade [Muhammad] is not mad."
Allah continues to remind everyone that Muhammad is not insane.
|
81:23
Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.
|
81:24
And he is not avid of the Unseen. |
|
81:25
Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. |
|
81:26
Whither then go ye ? |
|
81:27
This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, |
|
81:28
Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. |
|
81:29
And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. |
