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 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master 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 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to 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
