The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
