The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 And when souls are united, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when hell is lighted, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 then shall a soul know what it has produced. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 The one who is obeyed, and trustworthy. (Other angels obey angel Jibreel). 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of an outcast devil. 25 Then where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
