The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
