The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is folded up, 1 And when the stars fall, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when the pregnant camels are neglected, 4 The wild beasts stampede on the run, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 And when the souls he paired, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the garden is brought nigh, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 and the night as it darkly falls, 17 and the morning when it extends, 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens). 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, 25 So where are you going? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
