The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
