81 - The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Order of Revelation: 7وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat
And when the seas are made to overflow,
and when the seas boil over,
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
And when the seas rise,
And when the cities are made to swell,
And when the seas are filled with flame
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
Wa-itha alnnufoosu zuwwijat
And when the souls are paired,
and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds],
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
And when souls are reunited,
And when men are united,
And when the souls are paired
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked
And when the one buried alive is asked
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ
Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat
For what sin she was killed.
for what crime she had been slain,
For what crime she was killed;
For what sin she was slain,
For what sin she was killed,
For what sin she was killed
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
Wa-itha alssuhufu nushirat
And when the pages are laid open,
and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded,
When the scrolls are laid open;
And when the pages are laid open,
And when the books are spread,
And when the pages are made public
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ
Wa-itha alssamao kushitat
And when the sky is stripped away,
and when heaven is laid bare,
When the world on High is unveiled;
And when the sky is torn away,
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
And when the sky is stripped away
