The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 When whither go ye? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
