The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
