The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 The closing night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 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 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
