The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the mountains are made to pass away, 3 the young barren camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). 15 that hide, 16 and the night that falls, 17 And the breath of morning 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this [message] the word of any satanic force accursed. 25 Whither, then, will you go? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. 29
