The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 and the night that falls, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
