The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
