The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars darken, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
