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 are thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the close of night, 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 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 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
