The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 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 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
