The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
