The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Where then are you going? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
