The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 where then are you going? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
