The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise shall be 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 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
