The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 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 by the night as it departs; 17 and brightening morning, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
