The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars fall, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 when Hell shall be set blazing, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 that hide, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 So where are you going? 26 This is nothing but a Reminder to the worlds, 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
