The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls are paired. 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 and the first breath of morning. 18 it is indeed the word of an Honorable Messenger, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 And your companion is not [at all] mad. 22 he truly saw him on the clear horizon; 23 And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 When whither go ye? 26 Verily, this (the Quran) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
