The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 The rising dawn, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
