The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 by the night swarming, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
