The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 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 Your companion is not mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
