The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the pages are made public 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Where then are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
