The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
