The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
