The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 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 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
