The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
