The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wound up; 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 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 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 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 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
