The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 The closing night, 17 The rising dawn, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
