The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
