The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
