The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls are paired 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one 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 it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
