The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 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 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 And indeed he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) saw him [Jibrael (Gabriel)] in the clear horizon (towards the east). 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 When whither go ye? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
