The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 when the stars shall scatter away, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 3 And when the pregnant she-camels shall be neglected; 4 And when the wild animals are made to go forth, 5 And when the seas are set on fire, 6 when the souls are coupled (to their body), 7 when the buried infant shall be asked 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the pages are made public 10 The curtain drawn back from the skies, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 the runners, the sinkers, 16 And by the night as it closes in 17 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- 18 That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger, 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 21 And your comrade is not mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 24 Nor is it the word of a satan accursed. 25 Where then are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds. 29
