The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the books are spread, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 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 Then where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
