The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 that hide, 16 And the close of night, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
