The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 When souls are reunited with the bodies 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 by the night swarming, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape - peace and blessings be upon them. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
