The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 when the stars shall be thrown down, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when milch camels roam abandoned. 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 sorted out, (being joined, like with like); 7 and when the female infant buried alive is asked 8 for what sin she was slain, 9 When the scrolls are laid open; 10 And when the heaven has its covering removed, 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and when paradise is brought into view: 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So I swear by the retreating stars - 15 orbiting, disappearing; 16 And the night when it departs, 17 And by oath of the morning when it takes birth. 18 Verily this is the word of a noble message-bearer; 19 of power, given a rank by the Owner of the Throne 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 Assuredly he beheld him in the horizon manifest. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 nor is it a word of an accursed Satan. 25 Whither then will you go? 26 This is naught but an admonition unto the worlds 27 For the one among you who wishes to become upright. 28 but you shall not, unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds. 29
