The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
When the sun is wound up; 1 when the stars are thrown down, 2 and when the mountains are moved, 3 and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, 4 And when the wild beasts are herded together, 5 when the seas shall be set boiling, 6 souls are reunited with their bodies, 7 And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked 8 For what crime she was put to death; 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 when heaven is stripped, 11 and Hell is stoked, 12 And when the Garden is brought nigh, 13 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready. 14 I swear by the receding stars, 15 The stars which rise and set, 16 And the night when it departs, 17 and the morn as it softly breathes: 18 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger, 19 endowed with power and held in honour by the Lord of the Throne -- 20 who is obeyed there and is worthy of trust. 21 And your companion is not gone mad. 22 He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon. 23 he is not grudging of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 So where are you going? 26 It is not except a reminder to the worlds 27 for whosoever of you would go straight, 28 And ye shall not will unless it be that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, willeth. 29
