The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and brightening morning, 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
