The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
(On the day) when the sun is made to cease shining, 1 The stars turn dim and scatter, 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 And when the wild beasts shall be gathered together, 5 And when the seas shall be filled, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 questions are asked about the baby girls buried alive, 8 For what sin she was killed 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 when Paradise shall be brought nigh, 13 then, each soul shall know what it has produced. 14 So by oath of those that revolve. (The planets.) 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And the close of night, 17 and brightening morning, 18 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy; 21 And your comrade is not mad. 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 word of an outcast devil. 25 Whither then go ye? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
