The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 The rising dawn, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
