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 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 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 gathered 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 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 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
