The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; 1 And when the stars shall fall; 2 And when the mountains shall made to pass away; 3 And when the she-camels big with young shall be abandoned, 4 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); 5 And when the seas are filled with flame 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 offence was she killed? 9 When the ledgers are laid open, 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 near;- 13 (Then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil). 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 That run their course (and) hide themselves, 16 The closing night, 17 And the breath of morning 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, 20 [the word] of one to be heeded, and worthy of trust! 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And it (the Quran) is not the word of the outcast Shaitan (Satan). 25 So where are you going? 26 It is naught but a reminder for the nations, 27 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: 28 but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being. 29
