The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
