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 darken, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
