The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be folded up, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 And when the girl-child who was buried alive is asked. 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 and when Heaven is laid bare; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the close of night, 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your companion is not insane. 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 nor does he grudge (conveying this knowledge about) the Unseen; 24 The Quran is not the word of condemned satan. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
