The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars fall, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 by the dawn sighing, 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 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
