The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 The closing night, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
