The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
