The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is covered, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 hell is made to blaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither then go ye? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
