The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And the little girl buried alive is asked 8 for what crime she had been slain, 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 The mighty, the honoured in the presence of the Lord of the Throne. 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 He is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Then where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 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
