80:41 covered in darkness.

80:42 Such are the disbelievers, the wicked.

81:1 When the sun is wrapped up in darkness,

81:2 and when the stars fall down,

81:3 and when the mountains are set in motion,

81:4 and when pregnant camels[1] are left unattended,

81:5 and when wild beasts are gathered,

81:6 and when the seas are set on fire,

81:7 and when the souls are sorted[1],

81:8 and when the baby girl buried alive[1] is asked,

81:9 for what crime she was killed,

81:10 and when records of deeds are spread open,

81:11 and when the sky is stripped away[1],

81:12 and when the Blazing Fire is flared up,

81:13 and when Paradise is brought near –

81:14 then every soul will know what it has brought about[1].

81:15 I swear by the receding stars,

81:16 that run their course and disappear[1],

81:17 and by the night as it departs,

81:18 and by the day as it breaks –

81:19 Indeed, this [Qur’an] is a word conveyed by a noble angel-messenger.

81:20 endowed with power, of high standing with the Lord of the Throne,

81:21 obeyed there [by other angels] and trustworthy.

81:22 Your fellow [i.e., the Prophet] is not a madman.

81:23 He indeed saw him [i.e., Gabriel] on the clear horizon[1].

81:24 He does not withhold [knowledge of] the unseen[1].

81:25 This [Qur’an] is not the word of an accursed devil.

81:26 So which way are you going[1]?

81:27 It is but a reminder to the worlds,

81:28 for those among you who wish to take the straight path.

81:29 But you cannot wish except by the Will of Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
