The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. (Prophet Mohammed saw Angel Jibreel in his true shape – peace and blessings be upon them). 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Where then are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
