The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl buried alive shall be asked: 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 when heaven shall be stripped off; 11 and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 The closing night, 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 Your Companion is not mad, 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 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
