The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured 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 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
