The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 such as, "For what crime were they murdered?" 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the close of night, 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 where then are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
