The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and brightening morning, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
