81:11 And when heaven is laid bare.
81:12 And when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright.
81:13 And when paradise is brought into view.
81:14 [On that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself].
81:15 But Nay! I call to witness the revolving stars.
81:16 The planets that run their course and set…
81:17 And the night as it darkly falls…
81:18 And the morn as it softly breathes.
81:19 Behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle…
81:20 With strength endowed, secure with Him who in Almightiness is enthroned.
81:21 [The word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust!
81: 22 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman.
81:23 He truly beheld [the angel – beheld] him on the clear horizon.
81:24 And he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception.
81:25 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed.
81:26 Whither, then, will you go?
81:27 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind.
81:28 To every one of you who wills to walk a straightway.
81: 29 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way].
