The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 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 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Then where are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
