The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And the breath of morning 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
