The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 the stars are made to fade away, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 4 when the savage beasts shall be mustered, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls shall be joined with their bodies; 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 No! I swear by the slinkers, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 and brightening morning, 18 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 This is not the utterance of an accursed devil. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
