The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas are set boiling, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 And Paradise brought near, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 I swear by the receding stars. 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 (O people of Makkah), your companion is not mad; 22 he truly beheld him [the angel] on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 Whither then go ye? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 for whosoever of you who would go straight; 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
