The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 when the scrolls shall be unrolled, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
