Surah “The Overthrowing, The Cessation”

as rendered by Faridul Haque — 29 verses

When the sunlight is rolled up
And when the stars fall down
And when the mountains are driven
And when milch camels roam abandoned
And when wild animals are herded together
And when the seas are set afire
And when the souls are paired
And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked
Upon what sin was she killed for
And when the Records of Account are laid bare
And when the heaven is torn away
And when hell is further enflamed
And when Paradise is brought near
Every soul will then come know what it has brought
So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.
Who move straight and stop
And by oath of the night when it turns back
And by oath of the morning when it takes birth
This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.
The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne
The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel)
And your companion is not insane
And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them)
And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.
And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast
So where are you going
That is but an advice to the entire creation
For the one among you who wishes to become upright
And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation
