The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 and brightening morning, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
