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 lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight, 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
