The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
