The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars darken, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
