    About Surah At-Takwir

    At-Takwir, the Overthrowing, describes the unraveling of the world at the end of time: the sun folded up, the stars falling, the seas set ablaze. It then affirms that the Quran is the word brought by a noble messenger, and that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was no madman but a true guide.
