The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
