The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
