The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars darken, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 The rising dawn, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither then go ye? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
