The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
