The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 The closing night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 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 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Where then will you go? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
