The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 When whither go ye? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
