The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 And when souls are united, 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed 9 the records of deeds are made public, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 When Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise brought nigh: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where then will you go? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
