The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 When souls are reunited (with the bodies) 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 for what sin she was killed, 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise shall be brought near, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 He certainly saw him (Gabriel) high up on the horizon in his original form 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
