The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 that hide, 16 And the close of night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
