The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and the night that falls, 17 The rising dawn, 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 When whither go ye? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
