The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when souls are united, 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 The closing night, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all 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
