The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
