The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Where then are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
