The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain. 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 But nay! I swear by the stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And by the morning when it shineth forth, 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 When whither go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
