The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
