The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble 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 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
