The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
When the sun shall be wound round, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the hills are moved, 3 And when full-term she-camels are neglected 4 And when the wild beasts are gathered 5 and when the seas boil over, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - 8 For what crime she was killed; 9 And when the pages are laid open, 10 When the world on High is unveiled; 11 And when the Scorch shall be made to blaze, 12 when Paradise is brought close: 13 Then every soul shall know that which it hath presented. 14 No indeed; I swear by the alternating stars 15 Those that run [their courses] and disappear - 16 by the night when it approaches 17 and the morn as it breathes. 18 Verily it is a Word brought by a messenger honoured, 19 [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], 20 obeyed by (all creatures) and faithful to His trust. 21 Your companion is not one possessed: 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 And he is of the unseen not a tenacious concealer. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So where are you going? 26 This [message] is no less than a reminder to all mankind 27 for everyone of you who wishes to follow the Straight Way; 28 But you cannot will it unless God, the Sustainer of all the worlds, wills [to show you that way]. 29
