The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 And when Hellfire is set ablaze 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
