>  
>        When the sun shall be Folded Up,
>  
>        And when the stars shall fall,
>  
>        And when the mountains shall be set in motion,
>  
>        And when the she-camels shall be abandoned,
>  
>        And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together,
>  
>        And when the seas shall boil,
>  
>        And when the souls shall be paired with their bodies,
>  
>        And when the female child that had been buried alive shall be asked
>  
>        For what crime she was put to death,
>  
> 81:10  And when the leaves of the Book shall be unrolled,
>  
>        And when the Heavens shall be stripped away,
>  
>        And when Hell shall be made to blaze,
>  
>        And when Paradise shall be brought near,
>  
>        Every soul shall know what it hath produced.
>  
>        It needs not that I swear by the stars of retrograde motions
>  
>        Which move swiftly and hide themselves away,
>  
>        And by the night when it cometh darkening on,
>  
>        And by the dawn when it brighteneth,
>  
>        That this is the word of an illustrious Messenger,
>  
> 81:20  Endued with power, having influence with the Lord of the Throne,
>  
>        Obeyed there by Angels, faithful to his trust,
>  
>        And your compatriot is not one possessed by djinn;
>  
>        For he saw him in the clear horizon:
>  
>        Nor doth he teach the doctrine of a cursed Satan.
>  
>        Whither then are ye going?
>  
>        Verily, this is no other than a warning to all creatures;
>  
>        To him among you who willeth to walk in a straight path:
>  
>        But will it ye shall not, unless as God willeth it, the Lord of the
> worlds.
