The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his 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 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
