The day We shall move the mountains, and you see the earth an open plain, We shall gather them together, leaving none behind.

And the Day when We move the hills and you see the earth flattened plain, and We shall raise all of them together so not leaving out any one of them.

And on the day We shall set the mountains in motion, and thou seest the earth coming forth, and We muster them so that We leave not so much as one of them behind

And beware a Day whereon we will make the mountains to pass, and thou wilt see the earth away plain, and We shall gather them, and We shall leave of them not one.

And (remember) the Day We shall cause the mountains to pass away (like clouds of dust), and you will see the earth as a levelled plain, and we shall gather them all together so as to leave not one of them behind.

On the Day when We set the mountains in motion and you see the earth emerging and We gather them together, and leave none of them behind.

Bear in mind the Day when We shall set the mountains in motion and you will find the earth void and bare. On that Day We shall muster all men together, leaving none of them behind.

And (bethink you of) the Day when we remove the hills and ye see the earth emerging, and We gather them together so as to leave not one of them behind.

The day We shall set the mountains moving and you will see the earth in full view, We shall muster them, and We will not leave out anyone of them.

And on the Day when We shall set the mountains in motion and you shall see the earth a leveled plain when We gather them together, and would not leave even one behind,

And warn of the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.

On the day when We will cause the mountains to travel around and the earth to turn into a levelled plain, We will also bring all human beings together. No one will be left behind.

And the day on which We will cause the mountains to pass away and you will see the earth a levelled plain and We will gather them and leave not any one of them behind.

The Day We shall make the mountains move and you will see the earth laid bare, and We shall gather all mankind together and shall not leave any one of them behind.

One Day We shall remove the mountains, and thou wilt see the earth as a level stretch, and We shall gather them, all together, nor shall We leave out any one of them.
