The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun is folded up, 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and the mountains have been taken, 3 When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 And when the seas rise, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 and when the girl-child buried alive shall be asked: 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the heaven is torn away. 11 And when the hell is kindled up, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 And by the night as it departs; 17 And by the dawn when it breathes 18 truly this is the word of a noble Messenger 19 one mighty and held in honour with the Lord of the Throne; 20 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. 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 (Muhammad) is not accused of lying about the unseen. 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 Whither then go ye? 26 That is but an advice to the entire creation! 27 For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight, 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
