The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
When the sun is covered, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 And when the Writs shall be lain open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 He (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned. 25 where then are you going? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you will not, unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 29
