The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
