The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 stars which are visible during the night 16 And the close of night, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
