The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] 1 And when the stars darken, 2 and when the mountains are made to vanish, 3 when ten-month pregnant camels are left untended, 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 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when hell is further enflamed. 12 And when Paradise is brought near. 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So, I call the receding stars to witness, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 by the dawn sighing, 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 with strength endowed, secure with Him who in almightiness is enthroned 20 there he is obeyed and held trustworthy. 21 For, this fellow-man of yours is not a madman: 22 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. 23 he is not niggardly of the Unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 So whither do you stray? 26 This is certainly the guidance for all (jinn and mankind). 27 For whoever wills among you to take a right course. 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
