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 lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the breath of morning 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 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 is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Where then will you go? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
