The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 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 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 by the night when it approaches 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 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
