The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And the breath of morning 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 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
