The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 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 not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 When whither go ye? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 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
