The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are united, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 The rising dawn, 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 there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
