The Overthrowing

The Koran








081.001
When the sun is overthrown,

081.002
And when the stars fall,

081.003
And when the hills are moved,

081.004
And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

081.005
And when the wild beasts are herded together,

081.006
And when the seas rise,

081.007
And when souls are reunited,

081.008
And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

081.009
For what sin she was slain,

081.010
And when the pages are laid open,

081.011
And when the sky is torn away,

081.012
And when hell is lighted,

081.013
And when the Garden is brought nigh,

081.014
(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

081.015
Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

081.016
The stars which rise and set,

081.017
And the close of night,

081.018
And the breath of morning

081.019
That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

081.020
Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

081.021
(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

081.022
And your comrade is not mad.

081.023
Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

081.024
And he is not avid of the Unseen.

081.025
Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

081.026
Whither then go ye ?

081.027
This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

081.028
Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

081.029
And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.
