The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars fall, dispersing, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 and sit during the day, or by the darkening night 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 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 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion (Muhammad) does not suffer from any mental illness 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 So where are you going? 26 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation. 29
