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 shall dart down, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 when the scrolls are unrolled, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
