The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 And when souls are united, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 Upon what sin was she killed for. 9 and when the scrolls of (men's) deeds shall be unfolded, 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped, 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when the Garden is brought near;- 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 Rather, I swear by the returning 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And by the dawn as it brightens; 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 When whither go ye? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
