The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
