The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 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 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when souls are united, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
