81:8And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

بِاَىِّ ذَنۡۢـبٍ قُتِلَتۡۚ ۝٩

81:9For what sin she was slain,

وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡۙ ۝١٠

81:14(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

فَلَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِالۡخُنَّسِۙ ۝١٥

81:15Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

الۡجَوَارِ الۡكُنَّسِۙ ۝١٦

81:16The stars which rise and set,

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا عَسۡعَسَۙ ۝١٧

81:17And the close of night,

وَالصُّبۡحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَۙ ۝١٨

81:18And the breath of morning

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُوۡلٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ ۝١٩

81:19That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

ذِىۡ قُوَّةٍ عِنۡدَ ذِى الۡعَرۡشِ مَكِيۡنٍۙ ۝٢٠

81:20Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيۡنٍؕ ۝٢١

81:21(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

وَ مَا صَاحِبُكُمۡ بِمَجۡنُوۡنٍۚ ۝٢٢

81:22And your comrade is not mad.

وَلَقَدۡ رَاٰهُ بِالۡاُفُقِ الۡمُبِيۡنِۚ ۝٢٣

81:23Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِيۡنٍۚ ۝٢٤

81:24And he is not avid of the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍۙ ۝٢٥

81:25Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.
