The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 BUT NAY! I call to witness the revolving stars, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 in truth he saw him (Gabriel) on the clear horizon, 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
