The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 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 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in 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 Where to are you then heading? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 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
