The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 And when the souls are paired 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 when the records of men's deeds are laid open, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 The rising dawn, 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 Owner of strength, of established dignity with the Lord of the Throne. 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly saw him 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 Where then are you going? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
