The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 The rising dawn, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 where then are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
