The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 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 the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
