The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 And when the mountains are removed 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; 10 the heavens are unveiled, 11 And when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze. 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Who move straight and stop. 16 and the night that falls, 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 obeyed, moreover trusty. 21 Nor is your companion distracted. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
