The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 when the mountains shall be set in motion, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 This is indeed the recitation of an honoured Noble Messenger. (Angel Jibreel – peace and blessings be upon him.) 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
