The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 by the night swarming, 17 and the morn as it 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 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
