The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
