The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
