The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be darkened, 1 And when the stars fall down. 2 when the mountains shall be set moving, 3 when the pregnant camels shall be neglected, 4 And when wild animals are herded together. 5 And when the seas are set afire. 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 For what sin she was killed? 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 Moving swiftly and hiding themselves, 16 And the Night as it dissipates; 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 who is honored in the presence of the Lord of the Throne, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 And (O people) your companion (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is not a madman; 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) withholds not a knowledge of the unseen. 24 Nor is this the word of a stoned satan. 25 Where then will you go? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 So let those who want, choose the right guidance 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Lord of the Universe, so wills it [to show you that way]. 29
