The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the pages are made public 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 that the Quran is the word of the honorable angelic, mighty Messenger 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
