The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and brightening morning, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So where are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
