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 darken, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
