The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 And the night when it departs, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Where then will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
