The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 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 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
