The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
