The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
