The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the breath of morning 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
