The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 When the stars fall, losing their lustre; 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 when the sky is unveiled, 11 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; 12 And when the Garden shall be brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 that hide, 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 And the breath of morning 18 behold, this [divine writ] is indeed the [inspired] word of a noble apostle, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 he truly saw him on 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 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
