The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 by the night swarming, 17 The rising dawn, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
