The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 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 the records of deeds are made public, 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 that hide, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 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 beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
