The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the sky is stripped away 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
