The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 The rising dawn, 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 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
