The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
