The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
