Surah “The Overthrowing, The Cessation”

When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown )

And when the stars shall fall

And when the mountains shall made to pass away

And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected

And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together

And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow

And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies

And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned

For what sin she was killed

And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open

And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place

And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze

And when Paradise shall be brought near

(Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil)

So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night)

And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves

And by the night as it departs

And by the dawn as it brightens

Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger (Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him))

Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne

Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens)

And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman

And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him (Jibrael (Gabriel)) in the clear horizon (towards the east)

And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen

And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan)

Then where are you going

Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the Alameen (mankind and jinns)

To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight

And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)
