The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 by the night when it approaches 17 The rising dawn, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 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 go ye? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
