The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun is covered, 1 And when the stars shall dart down, 2 the mountains are scattered about as dust, 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 filled with flame 6 when the souls shall be coupled, 7 and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask 8 For what sin she was killed 9 And when the pages are made public 10 And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; 11 when Hell is set ablaze, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 Oh, but I call to witness the planets, 15 The planets withdrawing into themselves, 16 And by the night when it departeth, 17 And the breath of morning 18 Truly, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, 19 Owner of power, and high rank with (Allah) the Lord of the Throne, 20 obeyed, and honest. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 he indeed saw the message-bearer on the clear horizon; 23 And this Prophet is not miserly upon the hidden. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 24 And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; 25 When whither go ye? 26 This is merely a reminder to all mankind; 27 to every one of you who wishes to tread the straight path. 28 but your wishing will not avail unless Allah, the Lord of the Universe, so wishes. 29
