The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when souls are united, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 where then are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
