The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sunlight is rolled up. 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
