The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
