The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the books are spread, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
