The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
