Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir

Sura 81 Aya 1 to 29
	1		[ 81: 1 ] When the sun is covered,
	2		[ 81: 2 ] And when the stars darken,
	3		[ 81: 3 ] And when the mountains are made to pass away,
	4		[ 81: 4 ] And when the camels are left untended,
	5		[ 81: 5 ] And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
	6		[ 81: 6 ] And when the seas are set on fire,
	7		[ 81: 7 ] And when souls are united,
	8		[ 81: 8 ] And when the female infant buried alive is asked
	9		[ 81: 9 ] For what sin she was killed,
	10		[ 81: 10 ] And when the books are spread,
	11		[ 81: 11 ] And when the heaven has its covering removed,
	12		[ 81: 12 ] And when the hell is kindled up,
	13		[ 81: 13 ] And when the garden is brought nigh,
	14		[ 81: 14 ] Every soul shall ( then ) know what it has prepared.
	15		[ 81: 15 ] But nay! I swear by the stars,
	16		[ 81: 16 ] That run their course ( and ) hide themselves,
	17		[ 81: 17 ] And the night when it departs,
	18		[ 81: 18 ] And the morning when it brightens,
	19		[ 81: 19 ] Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
	20		[ 81: 20 ] The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
	21		[ 81: 21 ] One ( to be ) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
	22		[ 81: 22 ] And your companion is not gone mad.
	23		[ 81: 23 ] And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
	24		[ 81: 24 ] Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
	25		[ 81: 25 ] Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
	26		[ 81: 26 ] Whither then will you go?
	27		[ 81: 27 ] It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
	28		[ 81: 28 ] For him among you who pleases to go straight.
	29		[ 81: 29 ] And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
