The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 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 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
