The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
