The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 and he is not one to begrudge others the knowledge [of whatever has been revealed to him] out of that which is beyond the reach of human Perception. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
