The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans surge and swell, 6 when the souls are divided into different classes, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. 25 Where to are you then heading? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 And what will you wish, except if Allah wills – the Lord of the Creation. 29
