The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul will then come know what it has brought. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and by the night as it recedes, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in 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 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
