The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
