The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
