The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 that hide, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
