The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 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 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
