The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Where then will you go? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
