The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
