The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where then are you going? 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 Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
