The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
