The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when souls are reunited, 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
