The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where then are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
