The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 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 this the word of a stoned satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
