The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured 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 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
