The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored 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 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So where are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
