The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 that hide, 16 and the night that falls, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
