The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
