Surat 81 At Takwir The Overthrowing



Mishary Al Afasy- Surah Takwir






=======================

Tafsir of Surah at Takwir - The Folding (Surah 81)
by Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahmân ibn Nâsir as-Sa'dî (d. 1383 AH / n/a CE)


Translated by Abû Rumaysah ..... ===>>> click here

=======================

It has two themes: the Hereafter and the institution of Messengership.

In the first six verses the first stage of the Resurrection has been mentioned when the sun will lose its light, the stars will scatter, the mountains will be uprooted and will disperse, the people will become heedless of their dearest possessions, the beasts of the jungle will be stupefied and will gather together, and the seas will boil up. Then in the next seven verses the second stage has been described when the souls will be reunited with the bodies, the records will be laid open, the people will be called to account for their crimes, the heavens will be unveiled, and Hell and Heaven will be brought into full view. After depicting the Hereafter thus, man has been left to ponder his own self and deeds, saying: "Then each man shall himself know what he has brought with him."

After this the theme of Apostleship has been taken up. In this the people of Makkah have been addressed, as if to say "Whatever Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) is presenting before you, is not the bragging of a madman, nor an evil suggestion inspired by Satan, but the word of a noble, exalted and trustworthy messenger sent by God, whom Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) has seen with his own eyes in the bright horizon of the clear sky in broad day light. Whither then are you going having turned away from this teaching?"









81. Surah At-Takwir (Wound around and lost its Light)



1. When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown).

2. And when the stars shall fall;

3. And when the mountains shall made to pass away;

4. And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected;

5. And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together;

6. And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow;

7. And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies;

8. And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned.

9. For what sin she was killed?

10. And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open;

11. And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place;

12. And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze.

13. And when Paradise shall be brought near,

14. (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).

15. So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).

16. And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves,

17. And by the night as it departs;

18. And by the dawn as it brightens;

19. Verily, this is the Word (this Qur'an brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad ()].

20. Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne,

21. Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens).

22. And (O people) your companion (Muhammad ()) is not a madman;

23. And indeed he (Muhammad ()) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east).

24. And he (Muhammad ()) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen.

25. And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan).

26. Then where are you going?

27. Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns).

28. To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight,

29. And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
