The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown). 1 and when the stars lose their light, 2 The mountains made to move, 3 And when the camels big with young are abandoned, 4 when the savage beasts shall be brought together, 5 and when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls shall be rejoined (with their bodies), 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was slain, 9 And when the Records of Account are laid bare. 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then every soul will discover the consequence of its deeds. 14 I do not need to swear by the orbiting 15 Go straight, or hide; 16 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 Obeyed one; then trustworthy. 21 Your companion is not mad. 22 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world, 27 to everyone of you who wills to walk a straight way. 28 However, you will not be able to choose anything unless God, Lord of the Universe wills it to be so. 29
