At-Takwir
When the sun is shrouded in darkness,
when the stars are dimmed,
when the mountains are set in motion,
when pregnant camels are abandoned,
when wild beasts are herded together,
when the seas boil over,
when souls are sorted into classes,
when the baby girl buried alive is asked
for what sin she was killed,
when the records of deeds are spread open,
when the sky is stripped away,
when Hell is made to blaze
and Paradise brought near:
then every soul will know what it has brought about.
I swear by the planets

that recede, move, and hide,
by the night that descends,
by the dawn that softly breathes:
this is the speech of a noble messenger,
who possesses great strength and is held in honour by the Lord of the Throne––
he is obeyed there and worthy of trust.
Your companion is not mad:
he did see him on the clear horizon.
He does not withhold what is revealed to him from beyond.
This is not the word of an outcast devil.

So where are you [people] going?
This is a message for all people;
for those who wish to take the straight path.
But you will only wish to do so by the will of God, the Lord of all people.
