The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 and the night that falls, 17 and brightening morning, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 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
