The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 The rising dawn, 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Where then are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
