The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 And when the mountains shall be made to pass away, 3 And when the camels are left untended, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 When the oceans boil over with a swell; 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what offence was she killed? 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 And when the sky is torn away, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 [then] each soul shall know what it has put forward. 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves, 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 And the breath of morning 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 he truly beheld [the angel - beheld] him on the clear horizon; 23 He is not chary of making public what is unknown. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is nothing but Good Counsel for everyone in the world, 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds. 29
