When the sun is folded up
And when the stars darken
And when the mountains shall be set in motion
And when the pregnant camels shall be neglected
And when the wild beasts shall be herded together
And when the seas boil over
And when the souls are reunited (like with like)
And when the girl-child buried alive is asked
For what sin she was slain
And when the scrolls (of the deeds of mankind) are spread
And when the heaven shall be unveiled,
And when Hell is set ablaze
And when the Garden is brought nigh (for the righteous)
Every soul shall (then) know what it has produced (of its deeds
No, I swear by the orbiting planets
That run their course, (and) set
And (by) the night when it ends
And (by) the morning when it breathes
Surely it is the word of a gracious Messenger,
Endowed with power in the presence of the Lord of the Universe
One (to be) obeyed, moreover faithful in trust
And (O people) your companion (Our Messenger) is not mad
Indeed he saw him (angel Gabriel) on the clear horizon
And he does not withhold concerning the unseen
Nor is it the word of the accursed Satan
Whither then will you go
Surely it (the Qur`an) is naught but a Reminder to (all) the worlds
For whoever of you who would go straigh
But you cannot will, except as Allah wills, the Lord of the Worlds
