The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she 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 Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
