The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul will know what it had prepared for itself. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
