The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
