The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily, this is the Word (this Quran brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrael (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]. 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
