The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 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 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
